Believe it or not, this is an S1000RR. No doubt some parts will make you laugh and others weep, but there’s no denying it's a really thorough desecration.
As a lover of all eras of BMW, owner and builder Steve Culp was moved to give his bike a vintage makeover to make it comfortable for his ageing frame.
We applaud the result.... at least as far as the tassles. He also builds planes, if you’ve got a Eurofighter you want to give that Sopwith Camel look.

BMW has finally gotten around to setting the MSRP on its highly anticipated S1000RR sportbike. Priced in-line to compete with the major Japanese manufacturers, the S1000RR is going for a measly $13,800.
For that price you’ll receive a bike with 193hp at the crank, a dry weight of 404lbs, and a headlight only a mother could love. For an additional $1,000, you can get the S1000RR with ABS brakes, and only sacrifice an additional 5.5lbs of that curb weight.
Other options include an ABS/Dynamic Traction Control combo at $1,480, a quick shifter for $450, obligatory BMW alarm option at $395, and if you want a color that you can live with, then the red, white, and blue, BMW Racing color scheme will set you back an additional $750. Expect to see the bike in your local dealer around December of this year.
We had originally predicted the the S1000RR to come in around $14,500, we were off by $700, but the new BMW does fit in nicely as we predicted with the gap between the Japanese and Italian manufacturers, as shown below:
