Petrolicious makes some of the best car videos on YouTube, but they occasionally they stretch out of their four-wheeled boundaries and create a piece that is a little different and interesting. Recently they visited a Milanese man named Franco Augello who creates some of the greatest looking and sounding bikes I have ever seen in the world. By taking old BMW motorcycles and adding custom touches and a dash of Italian flair, Franco creates amazing one-off machines.

This video covers a bike that is based on the BMW R65, and the end product is stunning in the most peculiar way. The bike still has the same Germanic proportions and look that lets you know it’s a BMW, but subtle details like the leather wrapped handles and hand-finished frame add that unique feel.

The video is only 7 minutes long, and its worth every moment of you time. From getting a thorough look at what makes Franco tick, to seeing this latest creating rolling down the road, there is something that will speak to you. Press play and enjoy.
