1998 Mercedes G320 SWB - Bringatrailer Walk around
Переглядів 75114 днів тому
It's not a motorcycle, sorry. This 1998 Mercedes G320 SWB was imported from Japan in 2024 and is the first year to feature the M112 aluminum V6 engine. Performance was greatly improved over the out-going M104 and offers greater fuel economy over the M113 V8. But if you're looking at G wagons, fuel economy is the last thing on your mind. It underwent a full cosmetic restoration, it was originall...

What if BMW still made the R90S? Is it better than the R12S

This restomod R90S started life as a basket case R75/5. A BMW cafe racer build starting from the crank out for a modern iteration of the iconic R90S, true to the original but more power, more brakes and better handling. A restoration like no other.

Great looking bike milimist and cool
My man
Beautiful BMW R100. I am a bit of a purest owning a 1976 R90/6 in stock form. The absence of any rear fender or inability to carry anything other than a wallet and cell phone leaves me wondering why would anyone would pay more money to have less of a motorcycle?
Well if we stick to the theory that 4 wheels move the body and 2 wheels move the soul, this r100 just moves more soul than your r90 with little regard for carrying much else. No one's using it to get groceries or ride cross country. Granted your r90 is very practical, sensible even. This isn't an exercise in sensibility.
Love your work 🏅
Thank you, appreciate the comment
Another cool bike. Though I prefer the videos you guys make in Pasadena. This felt a bit formal.
Yeah yeah, beginning to think this is Simon's burner account
@RoughchildMoto ahaha it's not. I'm not sure who Simon is. Didn't mean to offend, if so.
Definitely something Simon would say
Absolutely beautiful machine. Love what you guys do.
Thanks for watching. Appreciate the comment
Oh I wish....blinged up R80g/s.....
Diamonds on the inside
I want one to go cross country on and then make it the lightest cafe racer possible.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A Touch of class.
Waiting for a ride with a camera
Now that’s a proper motorcycle. Original looking with modern technology brakes. I like how the faring bodywork is retained with factory turn signals. Yes, this a proper motorcycle.
Café style build, everyone’s doing this nowadays, not a practical motorcycle for a long distance or cross country trip. No storage, no where to put much of anything for a long distance ride.
Looks great. Rob did I hear you have done porsches in the past as well? Any videos of those builds?
Plenty of Porsches, not so many videos
For sale?
It will be on auctioned on Bringatrailer soon
Why don't BMW actually make an actual replica. 21" stripped back replica. Not this road bike
Couldn't agree more. I think they're moving towards it with the R12 but rules and regulations, they're just not allowed to build what we want
Sweet bike enjoy!
Thank you!
Beautiful build ! Which model is the ohlins forks ?
Kawasaki is was ahead of the game with the ZRX, W650, W800 and Z900R. All reliable bikes. All Great Rides!
Great Bike and I would love to have it.
Life in sunny Pasadena looks nice.
This build is craaaaaazy!
Mechanical art!
Love it. A bunch of great choices adding up to a super nice build. Heading to the garage now, angle grinder in hand, to slaughter my 1250GS. This is the way.
This is an absolute dream! You can't do a better BMW motorcycle. Bravo!!! (On bikeexif, the bike is strangely shown with another tank ...???)
We had 3 different tanks on that bike for testing. It eventually left with the larger tank shown in the bike exif writeup
@RoughchildMoto For my taste, the toaster is the perfect fit. Thank you for your inspiration, the bike is truly amazing! It doesn't get any better than this! Have a beautiful holiday, Merry Christmas from Germany!
Robert or Albert Palmer?
“special motorcycles for special people” - thats salesman speak for ‘expensive motorcycles for rich people'
That's cute but money's only one piece of the puzzle. They are not cheap, and it is way easier to buy a brand new motorcycle from a dealership. You can't discredit the enthusiasm for something special. Special people, just like i said. Really, I'm not a salesman. I'm the anti salesman. It's for people that just get it.
Did you say '$20k for a drivetrain rebuild'? Wondering could you ballpark the entire cost of this build for us?
Sales channels are open for any serious enquiries. Feel free to email or call to discuss your project
Very nice bike build ❤.
Thank you
Another great build from the Russell Brand of custom bike builders!
Stay free
The one dudes favorite piece to this masterpiece is……… the f*****g water bottle mount….
This is ART !
Sorry, I Arted!
Nice effort, but why a / 5? With a 4 speed super clunky gearbox, it hardly seems worth it, unless you don’t have anything else to do.
Ah you didn't watch the video. Watch it and revise the comment. 1. I didn't use a 4 speed gearbox. 2. I actually like a 4 speed gearbox, rebuilt. Old ones are clunky, if that's your experience I understand the naivety. 3. If you don't think this bike was worth the effort, you're simply in the wrong place
Not sure what I'd prefer to ride, this or Jen. in her prime
Be like Brad, get the girl, get the bike, keep on ridin'
The Bing Constant Velocity carburetors when set up correctly don’t leak and offer superior performance. I do agree with you on the Bridgestone BT46 tires, they do work well on the BMW.
Have you tried mikunis, dellortos and smartcarbs on the same setup that you're running the bings?
If I sent my hubs to you could you do the sealed bearing conversion?
Woody's Wheel Works in Colorado
Thanks!
Beautiful bike, would love to learn where battery is hiding and more about charging and electrical systems they use(outside the m-unit they use)
Hmm I have an aventurine 993 and a white speed triple rr. Love them both but that green is something special🤔 temping
BMW just teased the R12S, and homaged the R90S in a post. Woohoo!
This is the first video I have seen on yours. I’m looking at importing a g320 from Japan, and I have an air cooled 911. 😂 You’re speaking to me.
Everything I've bought from there has been better than expected. Recently I bought a G320SWB and it turned up with receipts from new and a documented engine rebuild. None of which was mentioned at the auction. Shipping can take ages! But it is what it is.
Top looking build. Very low key cool. I like the large indicators on the front. What exhaust nuts are they you have on it? Are the custom made?
Motone!
Why are you a member then?
I'm an enthusiast, i love the original bikes and I love custom bikes. A person can like both. Unfortunately the old men dominating that group vilify the customized. It's tedious.
I love your bikes, and would be honored to have you on my channel. Salud!
Amazing bike, as always. Please consider longer form films in this series, (in addition to these short vignettes).. Longer form will add some staying power to all the time and effort you've put into these. Some of us still have attention spans longer than two minutes. More detail setting up the bike and insight. into your modifications. Your workspace, presentation and commentary are great. Back 2 the bike, ; Big valve heads are a really nice touch on this one, not to mention the color.
Thanks for the feedback, genuinely appreciated. It's hard to strike a balance of aesthetic and technical chat. Stay tuned
Keep the bike in focus and in frame for more than half a second lol
Yeah wicked. Thanks for your most valuable input
@@RoughchildMoto I'll concede that I could have put my criticism forward in a better way. My point still stands though... It would have been nice to have more of a chance to see the very nice bike you built.
Valid point. I think this is an oversight by some editors They are more concerned about the pace of the video than actually giving the viewer some time to really soak in the what they are there to actually look at.
Colour really suits the bike another quality build and great vedio keep the magic going
Thank you and thanks for watching
Man this is awesome! Such an iconic bike with modern twist. Love it!
Couldn't agree more! Looking forward to building more of these. Have been stockpiling STs
Spectacular build. I was wondering, do you make frame reinforcements to those old flexible frames or just leave them stock?
Thank you. All the frames are stripped, repaired and reinforced before any custom fab work. Most of the mods are out of sight, under the gas tank or on the inside of the frame.
So the donor for "The Texas Freeway Flyer" came in Monza Blue. In my barn in Somerset England I have an original paint /5 Monza Blue front fender, or mudguard as we describe them here in your old country. Bought from Josh at Parts Haus in 2022. For a very fair price too, even with the shipping. Love your work!
At my core I'm an enthusiast, so it's nice to know that the parts removed from these otherwise broken donor motorcycles help others live on in "original" form
