I thought I found a replacement for DP1M in Leica Q, but the latter had the EVF failed in a week, and it went back for a refund. It's quite sensitive to Miami heat and humidity even in moderate exposure, I guess. Unlike my DP1M, that keeps clicking for over 2 years, and DP2M - for over 5! Some qualities don't get mentioned on a spec sheet.

Indeed. A nicely modified BMW R80

I thought it was a new bike. BMW is starting to offer more options to customize new bikes. The rear shock placement looks modern compared to the R80 which had 2 shocks on the rear posts. I think it looks great.

I'm clueless about bikes. This one caught my attention through a window of a gallery and I paid a visit. Unfortunately, I didn't inquire about the model name and year, but did try to research after revisiting the shot at home. The closest match I could find is the 1980s R80 and what tuning companies like Rockerbox and Diamond Atelier can do with them.

Definitely shares lines with the old R80, but pretty sure it is a modern bike. Too many cues that only modern bikes now have. Would love to ride that one, looks like fun. At my age now, the Ducati is getting to be a bit much. Thinking about a lighter and less powerful bike.

IMO its an older one, the newer have only one arm at the rear and a vertical absorber, this horizontal absorber with the two arms is an older custom thing.

That 2-valve monolever engine is a giveaway, isn't it? BMW does not make bikes with this engine anymore since 1995, afaik.

I don't know what a monolever engine is, but if you look at the inverted forks, M Power label, modern discs and calipers, it is either a newer bike or a custom job as mentioned above. The drive shaft and heads look older for sure and if those are carbs, then again, for sure. In any case, good looking bike and nice picture.

Thanks,
