Sweet looking ride!
I love Jugend style [thumbsup] - never knew they drew bikes in it though.

78 yrs ago. ;)
Wow,beautiful.
That bike won the Concours D' Elegance at Pebble Beach this year. Gorgeous.
There's a (late '20s ?) Beemer on display at the dealer down the street. An R32 maybe? Springer front end with a hardtail. Band brakes in the rear. Creme white. Very elegant yet simple.
One really needs to see these beautiful oldies up close to appreciate them. Works of art made by true craftsmen.
Blech. [puke]
I'd much rather have my grandfather's '29 KJ. [Dolph]
Beautiful bike! Art really, blown away by the vision of that period.
wow ... total art deco. [thumbsup] it looks like that iconic art deco train (Pennsylvania RR's S-1)
from the 30's. there's something unique and appealing about those old BMWs.
Looks like something a pre-war, steampunk Batman would ride.
In translation, totally freaking badass and beautiful

It's pure Art Deco. Steampunk or Cyberpunk wasn't coined until 1980. :D
Cable brakes... 108' turning radius... with that 800cc probably 40hp...
very cool looking tho, but not too fun to ride long...

I'd ride it right into the living room and put it under track lighting. :P

with those brakes, you'd stop about 10 ft on the opposite side of the wall. :-D
