This is not a cheap Chinese knock-off, but rather a very well thought out, detail oriented build, intended to take place in collections for the real thing, since they are almost totally unobtainable these days. No title, but bill of sale with Vin# This is a tribute, and the body has been completely re-worked with new fenders and fuel tank, all hand made to match the BMW R-71 profiles exactly. See the attached photo of the old stock tank from the base bike, and the one in grey is the replicated version, showing the profile being correct for 1937 BMW R-71, and take a close look at the gas cap too. It is precise. This is a running 750 cc 4 stroke boxer type engine, and four speed forward gearbox, with a reverse gear It has hand shifting, as well as left foot toggle shifting. The handlebars were changed to match the 1937 correct style, and the Headlamp as well. It has an exact reproduction of the proper BOSCH lens that would have been offered in that era. The fine details of the cloning process are visible, and the paint is the exact match of Dunkelgrau, or Wermacht Grey
