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

Space for fun

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

They both look like tons 'o fun to me.

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.

Fun's outta here.
