Nice job of reusing all the original footage and adding idiotic voice over and subtitles.

[@geoff9614]

Looks amazing good job well done

[@jacqueschauvet3744]

Bravo Mike! Quite the artist!

[@jmj6576]

Restoration with love 👍

[@bryanduncan1640]

This is not a restoration- it’s a re-spray! What about the engine internals? Obviously they were all perfect!

[@gustavosilvacm8932]

Wonderful work!!

[@jasonbradley9256]

Did you actually manage to polish out dents on the tank.? Still loved this restoration and beautiful finish..!!

[@michaelkohl9728]

I would have loved to hear that wonderful sound of the Boxer engine.

[@BRASLETTI27400]

Very good job, boy !

[@piusbayo7278]

All of it is interesting

[@RalfPfister]

Sehr schön gemacht: Well done !!!

[@chrislove3703]

Why didn’t you polish the top of the tank and replace the coach lines

[@wangsam2049]

Get this guy to be CEO of BMW.

[@anthonykeel1058]

Done with love or a quick flip? This is not a restoration and is simply a clean up!

[@WaluyoTeguh-ky1rw]

Kondisi yang masih sangat bagus untuk motor tahun tua 😊 Salam kenal dari Indonesia 🇮🇩

[@曾漢明-d9x]

great bike!!!

[@TopRestorationPicks]

It sure is!

[@carlosfernandez4627]

Gracias por no modificarla

[@waltonr5630]

Nice work. There are some sacrileges (to me) like the front turn signals, the seat and that "accessory" on the Krauser bags. Other than that, a very, very nice work!

[@Keith-rk4td]

I had this same bike. Put R100 jugs on ot and mocked it up like a R90S. Put a crap load of miles on it. Best motorcycle I ever owned..

[@solstar4778]

Not a big fan of the seat restoration, the original design in my opinion has more character, the rest is very good !

[@lotophagi711]

So the engine was just cleaned?

[@joekoons1937]

I have to wonder if he tore down the top end and just didn't show it. As a former BMW owner and racer I know that BMW Boxers are the easiest to tear down to check riings valves and pistons. Now he may have for gone doing it because it was a low mileage bike but there was not mention of it in the video. I loved seeing a old work horse put back on the road.

Por fuera ha quedado genial ¿Pero comop estará por dentro? una recostruccion completa debe incluir losm interiores del motor y del grupo de transmision.

[@notwocdivad]

Were any of the engine bearings, seals or bushes renewed? Seems more of a wash and brush up with a few service parts changed rather than what I would class as a full restoration? In the UK a full resto is a strip down to every nut and bolt on frame and engine with every bush bearing and seal renewed, frame and tinwear stripped to bare metal and resprayed and, depending on condition the spokes are often changed too!!!

[@perekberg2638]

Nice wash

[@TopRestorationPicks]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Janet-vx9qn]

Narrator: "Determined to use all original parts". Immediately replaced turn signals with new bullet style. "Cleaned and painted the tank"- buffed but not painted. Not faulting the restorer but the narration doesn't match.

[@robertmiller2929]

Agreed and the voice is super annoying. The guy has probably never ridden a motorcycle.lol!

[@darkiee69]

That tank wasn't stripped at all, just polished.

[@MichaelRestoration]

*Hi*

[@christophermikrowelle7093]

My favorite part of the post is not saying how much this restoration cost.

[@ДаниилТолмачев-о1к]

Это БМВ, а не БМДаб ю

[@frankpetters1149]

SUPER GEMACHT

[@Supernaut2000]

Why is the BMW roundel showing BMW backwards at 10:18 ?

[@superleggenda]

There is a lot of needless editing in this video. Also, I am pretty sure that I remember the electric knife bit. Either I time traveled or this has already been published.

Німці,в яких комуняки вивезли обладнання і документацію, відтворили виробництво мотоциклів BMW. І наші,в яких все було,перепинили виробництво МТ.

[@skaters2007]

Peccato per le frecce anteriori e la discutibile sella….

[@floydmitchell3344]

Show the work, sorry thumbs down.

[@ModernMountainLiving-n8l]

Because they didn’t do the work but took his content and got 88k views by using AI. Making a living without doing the work. Shame

[@MikeJames-l3v]

Poor thing was "rode hard and put away wet" as they say on this side of the pond...

[@timblaes7028]

Not that impressed.
