A trio of Harley Sportster desert sleds from Spain, an immaculate BMW R80 from Australia, and a Benelli cafe racer from Italy. Decisions, decisions…

BMW R80 by Ellaspede It?s been said, many times over, that old Beemers have been done to death. It?s true that their predominance makes it hard to stand out from the crowd, but when one comes from experts like Ellaspede, we?re still gonna swoon.
As Ellaspede?s Hughan Seary says, ?The lines of a bike are often overlooked or misunderstood.? Obviously that isn?t the case here at all. The main angles, cut-off points and foundation of this R80 demonstrate a master class in cafe creation. Thanks to Ellaspede?s rear frame kit, most of those essentials fall exactly into place. It also enabled them to fit up their R-Series seat pan and battery box which, combined with the lowering triple clamp, nails both the swoop and bone lines of the bike. A six-inch headlight now lies front and center, flanked by a set of clip-ons and bar-end mirrors that should work perfectly as width feelers for the freshly lacquered airhead. And speaking of lacquer, I?m always a sucker for some M-Sport coloring?but the livery here has been reworked and darkened. It?s a move that would typically turn up my purist nose?but I’m loving it. If owner Greg is ever looking to part ways with this beaut, I?d appreciate a call. [More]
