Bandit9

[haven]

Bandit9 is a Beijing-based custom motorcycle company. Being from China, they start out with a locally produced Chang Jiang 750, which is descended from a Russian licensed version of the pre-war BMW R71.

I'm not down with the routing of the front brake cable, but you can't have everything for 50,000 Chinese Yuan (about $7800 USD).

i have always wanted a WWII styled bike. i have been keeping an eye open for a good candidate old beemer or so to build one myself. the bandit is kinda cool but i think it should be under 5k.
