Easy to find your bike at a rally with a paint job like that! :lol:

Looks like someone struggled with the conflict of wanting a real motorcycle with "Orange County Chopper" envy.

Sheeeesh. :roll:

The term "butt-heinous" comes to mind. The money spent on paint would have been better spent on exhaust and suspension...

First, I'd have to say that the ST is growing on me. It's an odd looking bike I agree.

Second, I like the shark teeth. Do away with the painted eyes however. The headlights are sufficient to act as eyes.

Must be the work of someone who has had one too many dreams of the P-51. Bet it has a low probability of getting stolen... :lol:

Not my cup o tea. To each their own. Beats gluing indoor outdoor carpeting to the sides of it, I think.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!
Am seriously thinking of buying it. I saw it at Victory and am trying to justify the extra expense of the paint.
I have worked on the restoration of a couple of WWII fighters so its right up my alley.

How much are they asking for the special paint? They told me they were going to repaint a KS last time I was there.

I think its 3 to 4 grand BP, right now you get free(yea right) system bags with the purchase of an ST.
I'm gonna pick up a red/silver. Checking with other dealers now on prices.Taking a ride to Iron horse next week, I'll go where the price is right.

If I get a chance to buy another BMW it will be from Iron Horse I think. Victory BMW and any part of the AZmotorsports group is such a pain in the ass, they really ruin what should be a fun buying experience. I have yet to visit Scottsdale BMW. Good luck w/ the ST, make sure to post pics...
