Absolutely beautiful workmanship. That is something that can’t be compromised. Don’t like the paint scheme…..then paint it. These are stunning motorcycles and Larry is a craftman of unmatched quality. Very nice work. I think I’ll be owning one of these soon.

I saw this bike and other Special Ks at the BMWMOA Int’l Rally in Redmond this summer. It’s beautiful in the flesh. The one that I like best is light metallic blue K75 with a tan leather seat. All in all the workmanship and attention to detail are top notch. I’d be proud to have one in my stable.

the real question is this: Would you buy one of these? If so, then get hold of Larry R. and start working out the details.

The buyer chose the colors.

Can a motorcyclist find happiness with a refurbished 20 year old K bike? The answer is yes. Thank the random nature of mutation and creation that we are all different and that someone has finally seen fit to customize a BMW K in a way that is technically and visually interesting.

fire up photoshop and come up with your own color scheme.

I hear the next Larry R. bike is a K-LT. If this one drove you to distraction I can’t wait to read the comments on the next one.

I love this bike. The level of detail is insane, the headlight shell is a work of art and the intake close-up is now my computer wallpaper! I would like to strangle the client, I think if BMW could have made this in black with white pinstripes it would have immediately sold every single one it could make. Bravo for a job exceedingly well done.

Thanks for the comments, good and otherwise. The color choices were the client’s, and seeing the bike for real the colors work, so well it seems, that the bike has garnered several 1st place show awards, (as have my other builds) and is a daily rider like all of my builds. KEN; Can I adopt you? SGEECHEE; The style is called ‘Retro Modern’, so your perception is accurate, and Grüße aus den USA Gela? JIRI; The motor is K12RS, the engine covers are K1100. The basic block of the K1200 is shared with the K100/K1100, and the covers are interchangeable, however the timing cover of the K1200 is not interchangeable. The giveaway that the engine is K1200 is the cast channel feature in the timing cover. AMMERLANDER;The two gauges for oil pressure and water temp are angled so the rider only has to glance down to read the white needles. DOUBLEOHTWO; Thanks for the kind words, and I’ll stripe the ‘K’af’e. BADHAIRDAY; Sorry, don’t know if Ronald likes it or not, can’t see why not. BIGFELLA; It sure is nasty, as soon as you open the throttle! Please visit my website to see what else I have done, and please don’t hesitate to ask questions. Thanks again.
