Revival BMW Landspeeder Motorcycle
Based on the record-breaking 1928 BMW R37 ridden by Ernst Henne, this Revival BMW Landspeeder Motorcycle is a modern interpretation of a legendary racing bike. Built to perform yet destined for life in a private gallery, it features an airhead engine that was rebuilt anyway, set lower than the original, and this time in a frame built from flat-cut steel instead of tubing. There's no lights, battery, or alternator, since racing and/or display bikes don't need them. Nor do they need brakes, so the straight spokes in the front and solid wheel cover in the rear appear unadorned. Finally, there's the stainless steel exhaust system with browned pipes, a reminder that while it might not take you to the store and back, it's got a growl every bit as formidable as any chopper down the street.
