Nortonn VR880 Commando.
I actually think it's overdone a little but what the heck.... It's "making the rounds" lately. I'm not really a huge fan of HDR photography either. Seems overdone lately...

I missed this the other night. Anyone see it? Any good or is it OCC choppers only with cafe bikes?

Reader Ride. A Portland Oregon Custom Cafe.
Phil Writes in:
Hi,
My name is Phil G. and i live in Portland Or. I would like to share some pics of my 71 cb750. This has been my project for the last 2 1/2 years. I would like to sit here and tell you that i did it all myself but i have to give credit were credit is due. While the over all concept and design of the bike was all me there are a few very important elements to it that would not have been possible without help from some very talented friends of mine so i have to say thanks to Sam Hill for welding the custom oil tank and the 5" stretch into the fuel tank, and to Sean Smith for laying down the beautiful black paint, Paul Burdette for the stage 3 port job and general engine building help, Ginger Mccabe of New Church Customs for the seat pad, and to Deon Staffelbach for the awesome photography,other than that i pretty much did everything myself.
here is a list of mods and custom parts
engine bored out to 850
stage three ported head
super flow valves
webcam 63a grind
cyclex super rods
balanced and lightened crank and rotor
under cut tranny
all new bearings and chains inside
cr 29 carbs
custom aluminum oil tank
stock fuel tank stretched 5" with knee dents
custom rear sets (modeled after dunstall rear sets from the 70's)
custom s.s. muffler
Anyway, thanks for looking
Phil
My pleasure Phil. Thanks for sharing!

UPDATE: BMW.... WOW!
Thanks to Craig NOS in the comments and a link to a French message board.
And one more bonus pic lifted from over there: Stunner!
I really want to know more bout this bike but I found it in a really obscure place. Can anyone enlighten me a bit on what must be a fairly well known ride in BMW circles?
- Racer made by Sebastien in the south of France (Var) then sold. More details in the forum link. I am looking for more information.Craig NOS from Ze Craignos Monstercycles.blog
