BMW ALL THE WAY

I have a 1975 R75/6 and love it. It's stock though. I have other bikes I messed around with.

Also, 2 cylinders = 1/2 the cost of rebuilding etc. 2 carbs = 1/2 the cost and trouble. Easier to work on the BMW (WAAAAAY easier). Tons of parts available. And they can be made to look incredible, as the previous post suggests.

Holy crap that's a tough choice to have to make. Anyway you could get both? The Kawi will be faster but the BMW is very classy.

LTD is a lardass cruiser that would make shitty cafe. The choice is obvious.

BMW, definitely!

I'm a Kawi guy, but I say BMW...they are just too cool.

On a positive note, at least no one offered you a CB350....

good bike builders build machines that barely resemble the original.



...i would go with the bmw.

if free I'd say the bmw!


But if you are paying for them which one is cheaper and how much?

Both are the same price £700 pounds
Fully roadworthy and legal
Swinging tissues the BMW to be honest
