Agree - the front end, esp. the headlight area, looks reminiscent of a WW2 despatch bike.
The model Darcy has is about the only sensible Beemer to my eye. Came across a brutally big cruiser sf theirs recently - can't remember the model, but it was built like a battleship.

To digress slightly more, the other day I passed (!) a Harley lowrider with a rear tyre like a beer keg, the man himself resplendent in "Springsteen-style" sleeves-ripped-off denim vest with HD badge covering the back, but notably with the full chrome German army-type lid and studded gloves. Made me reach for my cloth cap...
