BMW R7 and modern hommage

There were many interesting bikes on display at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este this year.  Among them was the one and only R7 prototype which was resurrected from boxes of parts that had languished in the basement at the BMW archive for some 70 years.

Since the R7 was debuted again to the public, an enterprising company named NMOTO has designed a kit that can transform a modern R9T into an R7 Hommage bike.   I have to say that seeing the  two bikes side by side really shows the extent to which NMOTO went to get the details right.  There's no hiding its a modern bike with disk brakes, modern shaped cylinder heads, etc.  However the overall form and major styling cues are there.  Impressive indeed.  NMOTO is still taking orders, and I'm told that the bike can be custom made to fit the owner, in terms of height, seat position, etc.
