A vintage bike with a R1200 motor.... I am impressed...lots of class...really nice. But probably a cost above ....maybe $30,000.???
I wonder what the ride is like?

I wonder how that thing handles? I bet it is a little more than scary.

Brakes? We don't need no steenkin' brakes!
You probably have to drag your feet to stop it.
Edit: Oops I didn't look at the photo very well before posting, looks like it doesn't have the stock brakes, so maybe it does stop!

The article mentions front brakes are to be on the production model. I think the original model of 1923 had a clamp on the drive shaft for a rear brake with 8.5 hp..
A front drum, rear block per wikipedia ... is a block brake akin to a clamp on the drive shaft?
Really nice bike.
