via West County Explorers Club: Since yesterday was all about the Super Tenere, today the big BMW gets it’s due.

OK, it took them a little longer but now the Chinese are starting to show off breakout products of their own, here in the form of an out-of-production Chang Jiang 750 reworked by a shop in Beijing.
