Can you tell us the COST and Weight?

Your lighter bike should do better when abused off road. Good luck, have Fun!

I remember seeing and sitting on the HPN factory BMW Dakar race bikes at a couple bike shows. Very expensive and beautiful bikes!

Ever heard the expression 'pissing on someone's parade?

Give the guy a break, he's just spent hard earned money on what looks like a great custom bike. Not your taste? Just walk on by.

You're right Tim, too critical. Will edit for consideration. But I was curious about cost and weight, so I'll leave that in.

Cheers!

And admit it Mollydog, you'd LOVE to own that bike - I know I would!

PMM, enjoy! It's a work of art, and we're all jealous! :)
