Howzit Chaps
Jens Henkel is having the unveiling of his custom built bike, A motorcycle built over the skeleton of a BMW G650 X Challenge. Happening this Saturday.
I have copied the links from The FB event and the teaser.
"To all with a love for two wheels. Whether it be a sport bike, Harley, enduro, scooter, it does not matter. Please join me for the unveiling of Octavia.
For more information please visit:

If you are on a bike, bring her.
If arriving on a bike, there is a slipway on 4th Avenue with a ramp. Please ride up and park in the amphitheatre in front of the venue.
Hope to see you there!
ALL WELCOME!

Not my cup of anything
In fact i think having an unveiling for this is overly grandious
Nothing sexy about the 650 Rotax motor. Except that it's unbreakable, reliable, performs well and is frugal with fuel.
I think I'd rather have that than sexy.

Bwhahahahahahahaha!
Wait I'll take some pictures today.
I also have missed the "performs well" part to date. The F / ST were phlegmatic. The GS / GSD felt as if they had a bungee cord for a throttle cable. The G was an improvement apparently due to improved fuel management. Still nothing that blows my hair back.

I can see a X-Challenge vs DR race coming up soon! :laughing4: :thumleft: :thumleft:
Yes yes, state all the facts you want.
But when you go to bed at night, you will still have a custom bike with a 650 Rotax engine in it.
Hi. I am Katzenblummenschutzenpflagenplafterbom. Anyone who refers to Hitler in any way whatsoever has no idea of what happened in is utterly insensitive. And he clearly has even less of an idea about good design.

Spectacular sense of humour fail.

Sense of humour failure implies having a sense of humour to start off with
Geez, this thread reminds me of why I don't frequent web forums any more. It's very easy to sit behind a keyboard, make snide comments and criticise. You know what's not easy? Building a stunning, innovative custom motorcycle like this. Y'all need to open your minds a little bit...
Oh boohoo, were somebody's feelings hurt?
Remember folks the internet is NOT a toy.
...
Example, there's a difference between Dux saying "I don't like the styling", and saying "this bike does for design what Hitler did for peace"
...
Maybe this would be better off in "garage projects" where people are more accustomed to bikes being worked on and sometimes even modified :pot:
Even opinions is just what they are.. Opinions

You know what they say : "Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one" :biggrin:

Perhaps the builder should apologize for assaulting our exquisitely sensitive and tasteful senses with this.....uh...thing. :peepwall:
