Looks like the BMW 650 to me.

That's what I thought has anyone seen one in person?

No, but I found the same bike in Panaramio. Looks like a really good mockup of a Volvo branded BMW. Did a quick search and couldn't find a relationship between Volvo and BMW, but that's not to say it doesn't exist.

How did you happen upon it?

I think it's just a Volvo fan who put a couple of stickers on his BMW.

Maybe a mechanic at a Volvo dealer who got tired of catching crap from his boss...? Maybe it's just a joke. It can be a lot of fun to confuse people.


In a similar vein, many Kawasakis sport green and white "KMW" stickers that look suspiciously like the blue-and white BMW roundel. It's truly amazing (and hilarious) how many illiterate (or at least bike illiterate) people get totally fooled.

This. It's similar to my friends FZR 1000 with Ferrari paint and badges. It makes someone laugh.

It does look like something Volvo would make... ugly.

I found it on Google images after a guy at work said Volvo made bikes. I had never heard of it.

I found a larger picture and that is what it looked like to me also. If it were truly a Volvo the tank badge would have been prominently Volvo as well. Stickers on the front fender and swing arm are just stickers.

Could it have been easier than this?

I've always thought that the opposite of motorcycle is Volvo!

That bike is sick, (in a puking kind of way!).
