I can see the appeal in having the S1KRR engine in a power cruiser/streetfighter package, but the swingarm doesn't match the look, the front and rear fenders seem to be reversed, and the three mismatched headlights and mirror hanging off the fork look like an attempt at parody.

Not to mention the fringes on the seat are pure OMGWTF!?!

But other than that, it's ok, I guess...

Note the rearsets-to-seat geometry hasn't changed, only the clipons (handlebar?) look to be raised about 8". If your legs are cramped on the S1K, they're still going to be cramped on that FrankenS1Ktein.

I think is one of the FUGLIEST awkward looking thing I've ever seen, just like the man/lady in blue jeans and orange shirt in the background, in fact I am sure the BMW engineers are offended by this POS. The S1K was design to be one of the most technological advance motorcycles not some abstract bullsh!t nonsense art to look at. whoever invented this thing was high on Red kneck Bull.

God....that thing is repugnant !

Its a good first attempt and although sportbikers like us would rarely/never appreciate someone raping the BMW like this, but then...if the owner of that bike is happy, then so be it.

For all those on other litre bikes who don't know what this is and get SMOKED by a cruiser, it will almost be worth it....nah!

Hats off to the guy for doing something out of the box, most of us won't be able to do something like this even if we wanted to.

Have to admit that the tassels are just too much!

If I had skills to custom fabricate, I'll be leaning more towards something nakid... like this
