You have to ride them both! Which one do you pick to ride first and why?

Re: Pick which one you would you would ride first and why
I keep looking at the pics, and find myself strggling to find any inclination to ride either of them . . . both appear ill-conceived although beautifully executed. Nah, I wouldn't ride either of them, I'd take the firing squad instead.

The Aidrhead of course, at least for a short ride. The Wing looks more comfortable. Both bikes deserve a good flogging if they do actually work!
Any and all disclaimers may apply

Gidday fellas,
If I had both of those on the front lawn parked beside my mower, I would take the mower ASAP, with spring here I just love the smell of cut grass......

Can't see the front brake on the BMW - that could be my deciding point.

It has "righteous" brakes.
I would ride the BMW first, in case I crashed and died. Then I wouldn't have to worry about the Café Wing.
Re: Pick which one you would you would ride first and why
Something looks weird about the rear wheel on the BMW. The raised part looks offcenter to me. Is that thing photoshopped?

Other than a little too much shineola, I think it looks pretty good.Tim Shepherd wrote:Something looks weird about the rear wheel on the BMW. The raised part looks offcenter to me. Is that thing photoshopped?
Photoshop? We'll have to wait for Randy and/or Softie to wake up.

It certainly does. Dual 4-pot 40mm Brembo Goldlines and (it looks like) full-floating discs. That's the braking setup on late 90's Ducati superbikes. In fact, except for changing to 65mm mounting points, it's what they were running until about 2004.justoneoftheguys wrote: Right-click/View Image

I don't see any artifacts of Photoshop, but that doesn't mean it couldn't have any. If I understand you correctly, I think what you are questioning is sort of an optical illusion caused by the reflections on the polished hub.justoneoftheguys wrote:Other than a little too much shineola, I think it looks pretty good.Tim Shepherd wrote:Something looks weird about the rear wheel on the BMW.

They both look like tons 'o fun to me.00weel wrote:You have to ride them both! Which one do you pick to ride first and why?
I guess if I have to ride them both, it would be the airhead first, of course. Why? Because it's an airhead, and it's black, the only proper color for a motorcycle. Too much damn chrome though.
