Good to see someone else is actually looking critically at the photoshop inadequacies of these bogus pictures.R2k, do you like any of the images you post? There's a new one every few days without you adding any commentary. This last one is clearly a rendition, not an actual bike, and crap one at that. Check out the front tire:

130/70 R18 (inverted? Do they even photoshop?) blown-up up to look ridiculously large. It's not a bad looking bike, it's just that it's proportions are all weird and it feels vaguely patronizing, like hey, lets throw every bobberesque thing we can think of and add Ohlins and people will go wild!
/meh. I'm reading too much into it
//seriously, work on your photoshop skills, Pierre.
I just move them from Facebook to the forum for everyone to enjoy anyway they want. Because it’s an R18 I figure most people will take interest in them. Do you want me to stop? I really don’t add my opinion because it’s not about me just something that may be of interest to most. I am actually not a custom bike person. I like the nostalgia of the R18 more of a BMW traditionalist I like keeping it old school. I thought I was doing something nice. If I am offending you by doing this I will stop.R2k, do you like any of the images you post? There's a new one every few days without you adding any commentary.

I'm not offended in the least, R2K. And it IS nice. I dig that you're throwing stuff out there for people to discuss. If you're reading any negativity into my tone, it's not intended. I'm interested in what everyone thinks, but especially the person who took the time to post the photos.I just move them from Facebook to the forum for everyone to enjoy anyway they want.

Thank youR2K, you don't have to explain yourself to anyone. many appreciate your work and time input. And the tank machine heats up the atmosphere, because maybe they will show something at EICMA 2021 - MILANO
Thank you, I try my best to stay out of trouble and just enjoy the shared passion for our mutual attraction/riding of the R18. Appreciate the affirmation, I shouldn’t be so sensitive. i Appreciate your participation/contributions to the forum and the decorum you exhibit.I'm not offended in the least, R2K. And it IS nice.

I say definitely keep them coming.
