you guys are just fucked up. instead of complementing him on his excellent work and talent you put him down because he has some sort of money to be able to do it.
connor Jeanes hey man, amazing work you did on that bike. I custom built one on my own as well and was looking for a good garage. Where do you service it if may I ask? Best!
Far left is turn left, middle left is horn, middle right is light on and high low and far right is turn right. Press the left turn and lights together to start and right turn and lights to kill! Simple....
@@connorjeanes333 did you make the saddle washer/spacer for the motogadget push buttons? And how did you attach them to the bar? I feel the bar thickness wouldn't have enough depth for a thread. Love the look of it!
After watching your video several times, I too went out and made the decision to purchase a knee mill retrofitted with CNC controls. I've already had a 16x60 lathe and the necessary tooling. I just felt inspired to move forward with my dreams of fabricating my own parts. I'm also restoring a 1980 r100 I found locally. It was very rough, not running, but it had low miles. The first thing I'm making is a new set of triple trees to mount GSXR 750 forks.
To say this bike does things for me is an understatement. The minimalism is spot on. The fact that he bought and taught himself to do machine work makes it all even better. Well done on this one. Less is more on this bike. Definitely an inspiring machine.
One minute in and that is absolutely amazing. Always stood by the attitude that you can teach yourself how to do anything, it just takes time. And the bike is so beautiful!
What a joy to see something built with so much love and attention. A level of detailing you rarely see. Connor, congratulations on an absolute triumph.
This is insane. Back in the day you needed 10-15 years of machining experience to even come close to this level of precision. I fucking love the future.. Nothing is gonna be bad anymore.
He's using a very old CNC machine (it transfers files via floppy disks haha) Almost everything is done by hand with very little tech, the guy is a genius
What an inspiration! Overcoming all obstacles - buys a CNC machine and a lathe and figures the stuff out. You have given me permission to stop believing my own BS of setbacks and for for it. Great job! Thank you Sir.
Those exhaust pipes are an amazing piece of design! Neatly tucked away ..no grating on rocks..no burning of legs! You have made the best of that horizontal engine!
easy, get 15000eu, find a garage who makes cafe racers from bmw, get the bike, put it in your living room, once a year, put it on a trailer, get some gas, ride it for 1km max, just the time to make some pictures for a youtube channel and go back in your living room with your bike. it will be that clean..
Regardless of whether one considers this a labor of love or a labor of masochism, the end result is worthy of the Louvre. There is no great art without great suffering. Beautiful work.
Honestly, probably one of if not the nicest airhead I've ever seen. And I've had 2 myself. The attention to detail is unreal. Everything is very simple but so well thought out and finished perfectly. Its also refreshing to see everything aqua blasted and left raw colour instead of just painted black. The only thing I'd change myself is the air filters, think it needs an actual filter there when it's being used and not just for show. But this was just for show I suppose!
Beautiful bike and so unique. I love the fact that the parts were built by you (Cnc) other than buying them which gives the build a more unique look and self fulfillment at the same time. Truly an amazing job! Thanks for sharing.
There’s some bits I’d do differently if it were my build, but I think you’re to be congratulated on this. You learnt new stuff to do it, and you did it all yourself. Wonderful, and it looks really nice too. Thank you for sharing it. Les
Saw this in the Bike Shed Arch 3 during my Sunday brunch visit today. The attention to detail is outstanding - the handlebars, grips and integrated switches are like a Swiss watch case, and that’s just one thing amongst many. The only problem is that I now really want a CNC machine!
I'm a fitter turner by trade or in 'Mercan, mechanic machinist. And been doing this a long time. This bike is stunning for a newbie. Kudos dude. The paint, the finish on the alloy, the machined parts. Just top notch impressive. Gripes - not a lot. Needs practicalities like mudguards and air filters. Possibly keep it clean by using the stock filter housing? Anyhow, congrats. Edit. One of the nicest bikes on here in a long while.
This is absolute goals. I'm moving out of my apartment soon to somewhere work a garage and keen to get a welder and the wishlist has a lathe and a mill on it for sure. LIFE GOALS.
Absolutely amazing. So much nice detail with the cnc. Beautiful bike and great build. I think if it had a very short stubby rear fender it would be even better. Fantastic 👌
You sir, did a bang-up job on this bike. So clean. A long time ago, in California I think, they used to say a clean, simple design was "Sano". I think we should re-commission it for this bike.
Sick ride! I love how the guy just bought a freaking CNC and a lathe to experiment with all the different ideas and designs he had in mind. After that, the bike ended up with so many custom parts and a really minimalistic, super clean design. He should name her "The Machined"
Massive respect for your craftsmanship. All a bit clean for my taste, but damn, I respect your dedication. Obviously incredibly well designed and executed.
Love the color. Very impressive metal work for someone who had no experience doing metal work. Everyone is cutting their back fenders off these days. I guess that's the look now. I like having a back fender, it balances out the bike and keeps water off my back on a wet day. Seat looks super comfy. Overall really cool looking bike.
Really love this! You've essentially done what I want to do, buy a lathe and a milling machine/CNC, and make my own parts. Like you I've no prior experience, just a willingness to learn, and to build my own bike with as much of the work done by myself as is possible. One problem though, I've got nothing like the money you must have had to just go and buy those machines, and rent/buy a unit to use as a workshop! Small details though, that I'm sure can be sorted somehow! 🤔 Anyway, love the bike. As much as I'm a bit sick of seeing everything turned into either a so called café racer, scrambler, bobber, brat bike, or some combination of all of those, I do really like your build. Well done, much kudos to you 😊🙏
Sounds like it started as a bike build and grew into a passion for CNC lol. Beautiful bike, piece of art.
It's the most complicated way of making something look simple I've ever seen. I love it.
I agree, when you go the minimalist route it can be really difficult to get the look righ. This guy nailed it! You could sell these!
Absolute lad man buys himself a lathe and a CNC rig WITH NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE just to fix up a rusty bike he bought, lmao.
When you are rich you can do whatever you want
@@LifeIsJustARide85 Must be nice
I wouldn't know if it's nice or not but I'm betting it is very nice. Sick world actually.

Yes, not a big fan of customs generally, but this is lovely.
100%, and CNC is always harder than it looks. Amazing work this
this is like singer porsche level of details.
That whole controls setup is incredibly clean, well done
yeah but how the hell can you activate turn signals ?! Couldn't figure this one out...
Far left is turn left, middle left is horn, middle right is light on and high low and far right is turn right. Press the left turn and lights together to start and right turn and lights to kill!
Simple....

@@edwardhallett9694 I did, mixture of turning and milling. the bars have a 3mm wall thickness so I can thread the buttons right in!
@@connorjeanes333 it's great work. Any plans to show the bike at another event?!
Personal favorite was the way the indicator etc buttons had been incorporated into the handle bars, nice work.
This guy is far too humble. What an incredibly gorgeous minimalist look that bikes has, and he's done so so much of it himself. Props for it
One for the most beautiful motorcycles I've ever seen. Pure class
Those parts would be showpieces for any professional machine shop. That’s some skill you’ve got there. Keep on loving what you do. It really shows.
Gorgeous bike, well done Connor an inspiration to us all!
Cheers!!
@@connorjeanes333 Hey Connor, any chance you'd be willing to share the color code or name of the color you used?

That CNC work is ridiculous!! Well done, and brilliant bit from a fun and humble dude!
"No mudguards, that's what visors are for" ... Then rides off with no visor on his lid lol :-)
wow, great work with that microscope dude.
I don't think that bike will ever see a wet road.

You have made the best of that horizontal engine!
I'm 20 seconds into this video and my main thought is that I wish my bike was that clean.
A bike that clean isn't a bike its an ornament

Mine was... "I want a CNC and a lathe"
me too
best looking - understated, clean & cool BMW R80
My favourite BMW at the show last year. So clean!
This is an unequivocally beautiful work of art.
Regardless of whether one considers this a labor of love or a labor of masochism, the end result is worthy of the Louvre. There is no great art without great suffering. Beautiful work.
Cor what a lovely tidy clean build mate. Can’t believe this is your first build and you did all that machine work! Hats off.
An amazing build! Love the results. As for the brakes, most 1970's BMW motorcycles came with ABS brakes. "Almost a Braking System"
I really appreciate the clean and neat design. The internal routing of the cables make the cockpit look great. Well done 👍🏻

Stunning. Amazing DIY skills learnt! Best bike on this series so far.
Clean, light, minimalistic look. Almost Bauhaus. Perfect.
Love the sound and the simplicity of the build.
Really nice build. I love how flat-two beemers twist when you rev the engine standing still.
I have never in my life seen such a beautiful and elegant bike...
Hats off..
Love love love it, not all of it, but that's personal. Nothing like learning as you go, well done. Just brilliant.
Now I am impressed! When you said you bought a mill and a lathe and started manufacturing your own parts you had me.
Buys his own CNC machine without any prior experience. Total boss.
Hard to believe it started out as an R80P very nice job
Connor.
That is the Apple Mac air of rebuilds..
Love it.. Well done mate.
Superb, clean, minimal. Bravo !!!! I love it.
Looks like that machine you bought is very addictive. It makes you
want to create every bit
Beautifully done, nice visually and plenty of clean looking style, look in depth and the work shows.
Wonderful for the street. Love it.
The clean handlebars and front are gorgeous.
Absolutely beautifully done, Connor. Love the minimalist style and the level of detail is astounding.
I am in utter awe of what you have achieved... totally brilliant and gorgeous.
Absolutely love every single detail. The gold standard of clean design. May be one of the best customs ever built.
I think you have taken unique to a different universe! Well done. Awesome.
What a excellent piece of engineering. Looks so minimalist and zen.
Absolutely amazing. So much nice detail with the cnc. Beautiful bike and great build. I think if it had a very short stubby rear fender it would be even better. Fantastic 👌
That's the most beautiful R80 I've ever seen. Kinda cool to have the continental tires with the German imprints still on.
Cool machining and finish and beautiful colour!
This makes me want to re-do everything on bike now. Props on mastering that CNC bruv
Just bought a CNC. Superb build with real attention to detail. I hope it’s going to be at the show.
Best custom bike so far... absolutely gorgeous! hope you do more of these amazing creations.
Great job with the bike ,she looks so nice and clean but still full of character in the same time ,has a unique vibe.
Nice build - from details to materials even colour... What a clean, cool bike!
Absolutely love this bike. All the mill parts are just crazy cool. I’d get those rear brakes adjusted.
With all of the custom oil heads you see, this one really stands out. Nice work. Very tasteful.
*and air heads
What a gorgeous bike! Every inch of it is so clean!
You did exceptional and beautiful work, thubs up. You had no experience with metal and did something incredible.
These BMWs benefit a lot from the cafe/naked bike treatment. They are so heavy and cumbersome as stock bikes. This one is beautiful and unique too!
You sir, did a bang-up job on this bike. So clean. A long time ago, in California I think, they used to say a clean, simple design was "Sano". I think we should re-commission it for this bike.

I love the minimal no color BMW logo, also love the handle bars with the grips -one piece
Nice custom , the one off parts are something to be proud of.
Great color and unique look. Minimal, but memorable at the same time. Definintely makes you do a double then triple take...very, very nicely done.
Genius. Dude seeing this bike is the definition of Satisfaction

WoW! I do have a background in metalworking and Some CNc and i’m verry much impressed. Well done! Very beautifull color to
What an awesome design. Fits so well together as if the bike was made for it.

I don't understand why big manufacturers don't make clean bikes like this.
different countries have different safety standards, makes mass market custom bikes hard to do
Fabulous work, radical and beautiful with a large dash of imagination, couldn't have happened to a nicer motorcycle.

What is a songwriter to music you are to bikes, praises to you 🙌🙌🙌
Outstanding work, super clean build, congratulations.
Details are just stunning. Beautiful Bike.
Beautiful air head. Love the custom work. For me,a bobbed rear fender and clubman bars or clip ons would be perfect.
