BMW K-series
..No hesitation, no delay

Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash

You come on just like special K
Now you're back and dont demand
I'm on sinking sand
Gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity
No escaping... not for free
I fall down... hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around..

BMW R80 Cafe Racer (http://www.returnofthecaferacers.com/2012/04/bmw-r80-cafe-racer.html)

Who can resist the beauty of BMW's boxer engine? Their unorthodox horizontal head configuration and shaft drive has always intrigued me. There's no denying that Boxer BMWs are bulky looking bikes but with some smart customisation they can be transformed in to sleek looking Cafe Racers. This R80 is the work of Kev Hill from Kevils Speed Shop and Kev seems to have stumbled upon just the right formula to build one such Cafe Racer.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FmdPp_F-Gxg/T3kCjiq2n7I/AAAAAAAAA1I/V72v8RjGohc/s640/kevils-1002575-2.jpg (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FmdPp_F-Gxg/T3kCjiq2n7I/AAAAAAAAA1I/V72v8RjGohc/s1600/kevils-1002575-2.jpg)
Kevils Speed Shop is based in the "English Riviera" in Paigton, Devon. Out of his workshop owner Kev Hill has been building his own breed of custom BMW motorcycles but it's this bike named "Joker" that really caught my eye. The '83 BMW R80 was a commissioned build for Oily Rag Racing to promote their vintage clothing brand and is currently touring various shows and events in the UK.

The white and orange paint scheme works beautifully with the tan leather seat and the raw metal finish of that gorgeous boxer motor. Removing the airbox and tucking all the electrics away has opened up the frame to reduce some of the R80's aforementioned "bulk" and one of the best wasp tail cowls I've seen on a BMW makes this bike look darn fast. Lowered bars and rear sets upgrade the ridering position and a simplified instrument cluster keeps everything at around tank level which is just how I like it. Nothing over the top and everything as it should be. Lovely.

Kev can build you an affordable retro racer like this starting from around £4,000. If you happen to drop by his workshop you can ask him why this bike was named the Joker...be sure to let us know!

1954 BMW Rennsport RS54
http://silodrome.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/1954-BMW-Rennsport-RS54.jpg (http://silodrome.com/bmw-rennsport-rs54-2/1954-bmw-rennsport-rs54/)
This 1954 BMW Rennsport RS54 (http://silodrome.com/bmw-rennsport-rs54/) was one of the first racing motorcycle designs to come out of Germany in the post-war period, the FIM had very recently re-allowed German machines into their events and the engineers at BMW wasted no time turning out some remarkable new two-wheelers.
The BMW Rennsport RS54 was a 130kg (286lb) DOHC racing machine that produced 45hp from its boxer-twin, the front suspension was made under license from the Englishman Ernie Earles, whose design was just about the most advanced available at the time.
It’s thought that only 24 were built between 1953 and 1954 though this number has been called into question, it isn’t known how many RS54s are still around today but most estimates put the number at somewhere between 15 and 18. This particular example is due to hit the auction block with Bonhams at the upcoming Las Vegas Motorcycle Auction, the estimated sale price is between $145,000 and $165,000 USD.
Check out the official lot listing here (http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20469/lot/443/?page_anchor=r1%3D413%26m1%3D1) or read about the duckbilled BMX RS54 we featured last month here (http://silodrome.com/bmw-rennsport-rs54/).

BMW R100RS Scrambler “Sarge”
http://silodrome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/BMW-cafe-racer-6.jpg (http://silodrome.com/bmw-scrambler/bmw-cafe-racer-6/)
This 1980 BMW R100RS Scrambler nicknamed ”Sarge” was built by the talented BMW motorcycle custom house Kevil’s Speed Shop. Kevil’s is run by a friendly Brit named Kevin Hill, he founded the shop and has been an avid lover of motorcycles since his father took him to the Bristol Motorcycle Show in the late-70s.
The original 1980 BMW R100RS runs a classic 2 cylinder, 4-stroke, Boxer engine producing 70hp and 76 Nm of torque. Power is delivered through 5-speed transmission via shaft drive and the bike has a total, stock weight of 230kgs.
This scrambler version of the R100RS has seen some well thought-out modifications including a custom 2-into-1 exhaust, a gun-barrel style silencer, a blacked engine with brushed fins, a vintage leather seat and contrasting grips, chunky tires and Ascot green pearl metallic paint.
So far as motorcycles go this is exactly the sort of bike you’d want in the garage when the aliens arrive and we all have to take off into the mountains, that BMW bower engine will still be running reliably in a hundred years time and there isn’t much that can’t be fixed on the bike with a hammer and some duct tape.

BMW R75/5 Café Racer
http://silodrome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/BMW-R755-Vintage-Motorcycle-Cafe-Racer-Motorbike.png (http://silodrome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/BMW-R755-Vintage-Motorcycle-Cafe-Racer-Motorbike.png)
BMW motorcycles from the ’60s and ’70s provide a somewhat unexpected platform for café racer (http://silodrome.com/bmw-cafe-racer/) conversions, the bikes (largely) weren’t designed as speed demons but with a few relatively minor tweaks they metamorphosize into some of the best looking café bikes out there.
This BMW R75/5 is a great example of the genre with the classic BMW crankcase, horizontally prominent air-cooled cylinders, gatored front forks and that unmistakable, ’70s BMW fuel tank.
The conversion to café racer (http://silodrome.com/bmw-custom-motorcycle/) only happened recently at the hands of talented bike builders MotoCafé (http://motocafe.com/), they stripped the engine and rebuilt it with new seals and gaskets, reworked the head, wrapped the exhaust, added a Corbin seat, new cables, new powder-coated rims, added new BMW badges, a new battery, new Goodyear tires and a added significant number of other, more minor features.
All in the bike looks like one of the better BMW café bikes out there, if you like it and have an understanding wife, you can check out the eBay auction here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1970-BMW-R75-5-Vintage-Motorcycle-Cafe-Racer-R75-5-Bobber-Custom-Cruiser-Black-/150829880433?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item231e295471#ht_546wt_1182).

BMW R100/7 ‘Lucky 13’ by Blitz Motorcycles
http://silodrome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/BMW-R1007.jpg (http://silodrome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/BMW-R1007.jpg)
They say good things come in threes, so with that in mind, here’s our third BMW motorcycle this week. Dubbed the ‘Lucky 13′ this BMW R100/7 (http://silodrome.com/tag/bmw-r1007/) is the latest build out of the garages of Blitz Motorcycles (http://silodrome.com/tag/blitz-motorcycles/), a France based custom motorcycle garage with a penchant for cafe racers, scramblers and very unusual paint jobs.
Having started life as a slightly worse for wear, stock BMW R100/7, this bike was acquired by Blitz last year. As is usual with builds like this, it was stripped back to it’s individual components, many of the older parts were discarded and replaced with new and then it was carefully put back together.
Blitz opted for a hybrid café racer (http://silodrome.com/tag/cafe-racer/)/scrambler (http://silodrome.com/tag/scrambler/) feel with the design of this bike, the wrapped pea-shooter pipes and low slung handlebars feature alongside higher rear suspension, a Lucky #13 number plate and front fork gaiters, giving the bike a cafe-scrambler feel that leaves me wondering why this style isn’t more popular with custom motorcycle builders.

BMW - 1992 - R80 Brat Tracker (http://www.australiancaferacers.com/blog/2012/7/28/bmw-1992-r80-brat-tracker.html)
Saturday, July 28, 2012
The R65's bigger, badder brother from the same mudda is a whole lot of bike! A big bulky 800cc boxer engine with big bulky fairings, makes for an all round chunky German. That is until you hit it with the customising wand stripping it right back until you sit there thinking ####... how big can this engine look. With alot of people taking the nip and tuck Cafe Racer treatment to these Germans our friend Nicholas Damen wanted to do something similar but different so he aimed for a mixture of Flat Tracker & Brat to create zee beautiful machine we have before you.

Tell us about yourself:
My names Nicholas Damen im 29 and I live in Hobart Tasmania im an Electrician who likes to make surf films in my spare time www.lumavisuals.com (http://www.lumavisuals.com/)
When faced with the decision from you old man you can have $3000 cash from your inheritance or you can have my BMW r80 what do you do?
Take the bmw r80 and customize it.
Can you tell us abit about the history of the bike?
My dad, Alex has had bikes all his life and bought the BMW around 10 years ago, he had it set up mainly for touring, complete with panniers, crash bars, fairing etc. Id always liked the big awkward looking cylinder heads on beemers and had always one day planned on getting one. I started out wanting to build a café racer but after researching parts and spares I soon realised the BMW café racer had been done many times over and done so well. So I decided to try and do something a little different, I guess ive ended up with a street tracker cross Brat?

Tell us abit about your motorcycling experience:
My first bike was a 1982 Suzuki RM80, I bought it for $400 dollars when I was 13 and Dad and myself stripped it down and rebuilt the thing right to the last bolt. I’m so grateful my Father spent this time teaching me valuable skills on repairing and restoring things.
Recently a group of my friends had recently also purchased bikes to customize and fix up, I guess were I ended up was a mould of their feed back and some features or styles on stand out bikes or ideas id seen online or around the place. Having a bunch of mates around to help and critique my ideas and thoughts was a really valuable thing.www.thechopkooks.tumblr.com (http://www.thechopkooks.tumblr.com/)

Can you take us through the modifications done to the bike?
The major changes to the bike at this stage have really only been aesthetical.
I removed the centre stand, side covers panniers, and all the other stuff that makes a beemer comfortable. I cut the rear sub frame and shortened it and made it thinner to suit the nitro heads tuck and roll seat. Removed the central exhaust vase and mufflers and replaced them with Emgo universal reverse cone shortys. The original instrument cluster was removed and replaced with an Acewell 2853 universal speedo. The rims were sand blasted and powder coated matte black and I had a set of firestone deluxes fitted. The front fender is from a local Harley shop and I cut it down and fabricated a mounting bracket to suit. The rear fender and taillight are from Modern Motorcycles in Melbourne. The bars are a set of motocross bars.

"I went for a ride last week and as I walked back to my bike there were two guys checking out my air filter, I thought to myself oh gee what do these old guys want, After a few words I soon discover one of them Is from Germany, he tells me he likes my bike and asks a few questions, then his mate starts to tell me Adrian, the German guy actually designed the Air box and air intake system for this model BMW, he used to work for BMW in Germany as an engineer, After talking to Adrian for a bit I soon discover I've just met a walking BMW tuning encyclopaedia. I’m going to catch up with Adrian again, hopefully go for a ride and tune my bike a little better."

Everyone has their favorite things in life but only a few of us get to enjoy a career working with them. Frank, owner of custom motorcycle workshop Moto Sumisura is one of those lucky ones. Since the age of 6 he has had a love for BMW motorcycles that has had him riding and working on them ever since. Now out of his modest workshop in the North of Italy, Frank is building custom bikes that are causing others to develop that same passion for BMW motorcycles and he's having loads of fun doing it. This bike is the Tatanka 75 and as you can see it's one BMW that's very easy to like.

Building custom bikes hasn't come easily though. Frank admits that it has taken him time to develop his craft. Moto Sumisura started out rebuilding old machines and selling them on to turn a profit. Years later and with a portfolio of 8, impressive custom builds under his belt and a cover shot on Italian motorcycle magazine "Rider", he's become somewhat of an expert.

The Moto Sumisura "Tatanka 75" started out life as a BMW K75 which at the time of production was labeled as BMW's cheapest motorcycle. Regardless of it's less than flattering "point of difference" the K75 was a solid performer capable of 4.6 second 0-100 times and a top speed of around 120mph (193kmh). This particular K75 was the full fairing, road touring model in electric blue with roaring panther stickers on the front end (perhaps one of Fabio's old motorcycles?).

Frank stripped the BMW back to it's bare essentials before rebuilding it in the Street Tracker/Cafe Racer style that has become the trademark of his Moto Sumisura workshop. The only part of the BMW's original bodywork that remains is it's tastefully scalloped tank, now getting all the attention it deserves with a unique metallic bronze and silver paint scheme. The bikes rear end has also lost some bulk with the removal of the entire tail section, giving it a much more compact, stout side profile.

Trimmed fairings, a small headlight with brush guard, gum grips, powder coated rims, low profile indicators and a custom leather clad seat complete the transformation of the BMW. The final product is a much leaner bike that weighs considerably less than it's stock 227kg form. Aside from it now looking about a million times better than how it left the BMW factory 30 years ago, I think you will agree that from the look on Franks face, the bike is now also a lot more fun to ride.

BMW R80 by Workshop Maquerelle (http://www.returnofthecaferacers.com/2012/07/bmw-r80-by-workshop-maquerelle.html)

I've always loved the use of wood in cars. When I was young a neighbor converted an old '30s Chevy into a jaw dropping Hot Rod with a solid walnut dash he carved, sanded and lacquered himself (I seem to remember him saying he had applied 15 coats of clear to it!). Everything on the car was amazing, but it was that walnut dash that really got people excited. When it comes to motorcycles the use of wood is sadly not something you see very often, so when I came across this custom BMW R80 by Workshop Maquerelle in France you can imagine my excitement.
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BUFOSNiZzNE/UAV4SMz6AvI/AAAAAAAAA-w/NiFmWKBEeWI/s640/7175698754_ed95554c43_z.jpg (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BUFOSNiZzNE/UAV4SMz6AvI/AAAAAAAAA-w/NiFmWKBEeWI/s1600/7175698754_ed95554c43_z.jpg)
Workshop Maquerelle is a two man team made up of Stefan and Till who started the company in late 2011. Jump forward to April of this year and their first full custom build was rolling out the door, a 1978 BMW R80 named "Mary Magdalene". I was lucky enough to get the low down on the bike from Stephan and access to these, the first studio shots of the bike. "Our first customer handed us his bike with blind confidence because he liked what we said and our ambitious ideas!"
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p5F7Olb6wHE/UAVcD5VYy7I/AAAAAAAAA94/hSKDojFt550/s640/thejudge-maquerelle4DEF.jpg (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p5F7Olb6wHE/UAVcD5VYy7I/AAAAAAAAA94/hSKDojFt550/s1600/thejudge-maquerelle4DEF.jpg)
"We had no obligations with this build. No Cafe Racer or Street Tracker template to follow. We proposed the idea of building a "James Bond" motorcycle reminiscent of his Aston Martin and seductive in its styling. We designed parts that we felt would appeal to women and perhaps even seduce them with its fine details and pleasantries. The passenger pegs for instance, feature laser etched wood inserts with "s'il vous plaît.." (please) engraved in to them."...What else would one expect from a pair of Frenchmen!?
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BNRfnP3v1ho/UAVcGAapQaI/AAAAAAAAA-A/_OXo7d-hmCA/s640/thejudge-maquerelle6DEF.jpg (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BNRfnP3v1ho/UAVcGAapQaI/AAAAAAAAA-A/_OXo7d-hmCA/s1600/thejudge-maquerelle6DEF.jpg)
Stephan and Till both come from artistic backgrounds which can clearly be seen in their design approach to this build, but the Mary Magdalene isn't just about good looks. The bikes owner, a busy fashion worker can keep his iphone charged with a custom plug integrated into the completely revised wiring harness. The BMW's 34 year old motor has received reliability tweaks rather than performance ones by changing the engines internals during the rebuild to allow it to run on modern high octane fuel without skipping a beat.

The wood details on the the BMW are made using a process similar to how skateboard decks are built. 5 layers of wood were cut and bonded with resin for each part with the seat pan shaped using a vacuum mold. The wooden details can be seen surrounding the twin headlights, in the form of racing style number plates in the rear and as laser engraved details on the engine and fuel tank.

Other custom work on the bike includes the conversion of all lighting to LED, custom Maquerelle low profile indicator housings, chopped and reshaped fenders, the tan leather seat and the front fairing which was bought at a flea market before being reshaped and blend with the shape of the German made tank.

This is number one for Workshop Maquerelle and a great start for the fledgling company. Maybe custom wood detailing on motorcycles will be the next big thing? Keep an eye on Maquerelle on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ateliermaquerelle) for more of their work.

"All men's misfortunes spring from their hatred of being alone"
The sad individual responsible for that quote obviously never had a motorcycle project in the shed waiting to be worked on!

This BMW R26 named "The Loud Kraut" was the result one man's wife leaving him for 8 months to teach abroad. While this of course would have been a difficult time, I think it's safe to say that for this R26 that event was nothing but good fortune.

Builder Steve from Germany wanted to create a bike that was a salute to it's original engineers. It's a quality rebuild that embraces the classic BMW style. While the white walls and the paniers may not have been quite what BMW had in mind I'm sure the Loud Kraut would have them smiling.

Hot on the heels of my recent post about Les Ateliers Ruby's leather jackets (http://www.returnofthecaferacers.com/2012/04/leather-jackets-by-les-ateliers-ruby.html) UK based, custom workshop Kevil's Speed Shop, has released images of their latest BMW which just so happens to be based on a Ruby helmet design.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hZ3ZfxPvbYY/T5osLWs-JAI/AAAAAAAAKjg/3ljUka_JtdM/s640/BMW_custom_motorcycle_ruby5.jpg (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hZ3ZfxPvbYY/T5osLWs-JAI/AAAAAAAAKjg/3ljUka_JtdM/s1600/BMW_custom_motorcycle_ruby5.jpg)
Kevil's Speed Shop owner Kevin Hill received a special order from a customer in Warsaw who wanted the 1983 BMW R80 built as a tribute to the candy striped Ruby Pavilion Helmet (http://www.ateliersruby.com/). The bike under went Kev's standard set of custom modifications to reduce weight and improve performance before receiving it's unique paint job and custom leather saddle.
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VGaTRuefLds/T5ox776l2MI/AAAAAAAAKjw/0S7OZF_FZ1o/s640/ruby-helmet-3.jpg (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VGaTRuefLds/T5ox776l2MI/AAAAAAAAKjw/0S7OZF_FZ1o/s1600/ruby-helmet-3.jpg)
This R80 certainly isn't going to be to everyone's liking but beneath that candy striped paint scheme is a very tidy BMW Cafe Racer. I'm particularly fond of the black finish on that big boxer motor, it does a great job of reducing visual bulk while adding a mean streak to offset its tongue-in-cheek veneer.

Kev builds BMW Cafe Racers like this from as little as 5,000 pounds, including the bike (!!) which I'm sure everyone will agree is a pretty good deal. Check out Kevil's Joker (http://www.returnofthecaferacers.com/2012/04/bmw-r80-cafe-racer.html) to see another fine example of his custom BMW Cafe Racers.

BMW R80 cafe racer
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/bmw-r80-cafe-racer.jpg
If you’re into BMW café racers, you probably know the BMW Café (http://bmwcafe.blogspot.com/) blog, run by Dutchman Michiel de Molenaar. This BMW R80 is the bike that originally got Michiel hooked on building and riding old motorcycles, and shows what can be done with a small budget and a lot of inspiration. He started with a crashed 1988 model, which means it should have a 797 cc version of the classic boxer twin. But the previous owner had changed the original engine for a one-liter motor of unknown provenance. Then the gearbox packed up, so Michiel retro-fitted the transmission and kickstart from an R65—which also allowed him to run a smaller and lighter battery. The exhaust system is home-made, using an old Virago muffler and a one-dollar stainless salad bowl. http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/bmw-r80-cafe-racer-1.jpg
“The new rear subframe is made out of a chopped-up bicycle carrier I found in someone’s trash,” says Michiel. “The only really expensive part is the [Acewell] instrument. I wanted a rev counter, speedo and all the idiot lights, but I also wanted to have the most minimalistic cockpit I could find—so I decided to spend some money on that.” The clip-ons are ebay items and the rear sets came off an early 90s Honda sports bike of unknown description. The headlight is a modern Ural part, and the rear fender started life as a Honda CX500 front fender. As they say, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”—and Michiel has shown that you don’t need a huge bank balance to make a bike look like a million bucks. Check out his lovely Honda CB750 cafe racer (http://www.bikeexif.com/honda-cb750-4) for even more Dutch goodness.

BMW R75/6 by Clutch Custom
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/bmw-r75.jpg
In the 12th arrondissement of Paris, home to the Bastille opera house, is a small workshop called Clutch Custom (http://www.clutchcustomsparis.com). It’s one of those places where you can buy old components, get a custom part machined up, and occasionally buy a complete motorcycle.
This is the latest bike to roll out of the shop, a mid-70s BMW R75/6. It’s a raw but elegant machine, designed for the rough-and-tumble streets of the French capital, where bikes collect scratches and parking tickets in equal measure.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/bmw-r75-1.jpg
The modifications on this BMW are extensive, despite the burnished, mechanical look. The frame, swingarm and forks have all been reworked, and the bike has been lowered at the front to improve its stance.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/bmw-r75-2.jpg
The engine and 32mm Bing carburetors have been rebuilt, and K&N filters and a custom exhaust free up the breathing.
Although the R75/6 is around 40 years old, it’s unfettered by emissions controls: straight-line performance is similar to modern retro roadsters such as the Triumph Bonneville and Moto Guzzi V7, and ample for the twisty streets of the French capital.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/bmw-r75-3.jpg
The seat is hand-made but the tank is original—and judging by the kneepads, it’s the optional 5.8 gallon (22 liter) item. The wiring is new, hooked up to an LED Bates-style taillight and a Bates headlight. The levers are Tommaselli.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/bmw-r75-4.jpg
There are more images (http://www.clutchcustomsparis.com/galery%20R75/HTML/R75_slidshow.html) on the Clutch Custom website, which is in English. Prices are reasonable, we’re told, and the BMW is for sale.

Blitz BMW R75/6 ‘GSky’
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bmw-r75.jpg
It was only three years ago that Fred Jourden and Hugo Jezegabel started Blitz Motorcycles. But the Paris-based workshop is now one of the biggest names on the European new wave custom scene, thanks to a string of unconventional ‘old timer’ customs (http://www.bikeexif.com/?s=blitz-motorcycles.com&sortby=newest).
This is Blitz’ latest build, christened ‘GSky.’ It’s an offroader based on a 1976 BMW R75/6, a bike that offered 745cc and 50hp in stock form. Which might not sound like much, but at 462 lbs. with a full tank, an R75/6 weighs 90 lbs. less than a current model Harley Sportster 883.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bmw-r75-1.jpg
Blitz’ client wanted an ISDT enduro influence, so Fred and Hugo added a neat twist to the Beemer: a vintage Husqvarna 250 tank. After all, until a few weeks ago, BMW Motorrad owned Husqvarna … “So we thought it’d be fun to do something the two brands would never be able to do,” says Jourden. “Combine them in one project.”
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bmw-r75-2.jpg
The finish of GSky, predominately blue, looks raw at first glance but serious thought has gone into this machine. After a thorough overhaul—including the suspension—the R75/6 frame was shortened and 4-centimeter taller shocks fitted. The frame has also been powdercoated and the bike rewired with updated electrics. A dual ignition coil is now hidden under the custom seat unit.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bmw-r75-3.jpg
The Bing carburetors now breathe through pancake-style K&N motocross filters; the upswept exhaust system is custom fabricated, and fitted with grilles for heat protection. (“It works,” says Jourden.) Tires are Pirelli motocross rubber.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bmw-r75-4.jpg
The bars and throttle are Tomaselli, and a rebuilt Japanese vintage brake cylinder was fitted, hooked up to new hoses. The head- and taillights are also vintage, and the choke knob is stolen from an old Bang & Olufsen hifi system.
It shouldn’t work, but somehow it does. And it looks like a lot of fun to ride.

BMW R100/7 by Cafe Racer Dreams
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bmw-r100.jpg
The BMW R-series has joined the Honda CB750 and Triumph Bonneville in the pantheon of custom motorcycle platforms. With a remarkably distinctive-looking engine and a bulky, high-capacity tank, it’s not a conventionally ‘pretty’ bike. But love it or loathe it, the big BMW sure looks the business.
This is the 27th build from the Spanish workshop Cafe Racer Dreams (http://www.caferacerdreams.com.es). A 1978 R100/7, it amplifies the strengths of the vintage BMW aesthetic. The back end is completely new, sporting a hand-made leather seat and supported by Harley-Davidson XR1200 shocks rebranded with the BMW logo.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bmw-r100-1.jpg
The tank has been stripped back to metal, partially repainted in Marine Blue, and clear-coated. The fenders are custom-fabricated and the frame has been refinished in satin black.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bmw-r100-2.jpg
CRD’s signature Renthal Ultra Low bars are fitted with new enduro-style controls, a compact speedometer and classy brown Ariete grips. And in a welcome departure from the ubiquitous Firestone Champion Deluxe tires, the BMW is shod with Pirelli’s highly-rated MT 43 Pro trial bike rubber: A modern DOT-legal tire that works well on the road, as well as on looser surfaces. The MT 43 is only available in 18” and 21” sizes, so the BMW’s front wheel has been dropped down a size to 18”—the same as the rear.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bmw-r100-4.jpg
The result is practical and stylish in equal measure: A dash of Latin flair added to Teutonic efficiency.
More, please,

Wrenchmonkees BMW R100RT
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bmw-r100rt.jpg
Most custom motorcycles live relatively sedate lives, secured in warm garages and released at weekends. But not this one: it’s been built by the Wrenchmonkees (http://wrenchmonkees.com/) to handle the rough roads of the Maghreb. “It started with a request from a Frenchman living in Mauritania,” says Wrenchmonkee Andreas. “Thierry wanted a simple, reliable, easy-to-maintain bike … there are very few
motorcycle workshops in West Africa.”
The solution was an old two-valve BMW: they’re robust and reliable, and you can fix most problems yourself if you have simple mechanical skills.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bmw-r100rt-1.jpg
“We found a R100RT here in Denmark. It needed a complete restoration anyway, so it was an obvious choice for the project.” Fortunately, Thierry’s brief for the bike was relatively open: it just had to be a two-seater,
fairly light,
and suitable for occasional off-roading. “And, of course, built in our style!” Andreas adds.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bmw-r100rt-2.jpg
The burgundy red fairing was removed and the big R100RT was taken apart. The rear subframe was removed, and a new one welded on. The stock alloy wheels were replaced with wire wheels, 18” both front and back.
The front fork was also rebuilt, and extra long Bitubo shocks were installed to give
extra clearance for African dirt roads and sand dunes. The engine and carburetors were overhauled, and a K&N air filter and larger oil cooler were fitted.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bmw-r100rt-3.jpg
The R100RT was then treated to a complete rewire and fitted with a heavy duty Odyssey battery, plus new lights front and back. The standard R100 tank was replaced with one from an older BMW /6 model, “to give the bike
a slimmer, more old school look.”
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bmw-r100rt-4.jpg
New Tarozzi rearsets were mounted, further back in the frame than stock. “This required a few custom made linkages,” says Andreas, “for the brake and gear shift.” All perishable parts were replaced, including hoses, bearings and seals.
The big BMW, fresh from its diet and makeover, is now ready for the worst that West African roads can throw at it. Who said custom motorcycles can’t be practical?

BMW R45: ‘The Gonzo’
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bmw-r45.jpg
One of the more original builders working today is David Borras, a Spanish vintage motorcycle racer who runs El Solitario (http://elsolitariomc.blogspot.com) (“the loner”) MC. He’s got an idiosyncratic style, and his disregard for contemporary fashions has won him a lot of attention. This is Borras’ latest bike: it’s unlikely to be as controversial as his Triumph T120 (http://www.bikeexif.com/triumph-t120), but it’s just as eye-catching. Called ‘The Gonzo’, it’s a heavily customized 1976 R45 that Borras describes as “terribly underpowered, but indestructible”.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bmw-r45-1.jpg
It was a fast build: “We were not looking for a posh finish, or complicated technical solutions.” The first premise was to remove anything unnecessary for safe on- and off-roading. The second was to do everything in-house, keeping time and expenses low.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bmw-r45-2.jpg
Borras started by rebuilding the cylinder heads, transmission, carbs, ignition, forks and brakes. He completely rewired the bike and fitted new bearings, super-rare Redwing shocks, and steel brake lines. Up front, an Akront 21” wheel is fitted with Michelin rubber. The straight pipes have internal baffles to keep noise under control, and the engine breathes in through velocity stacks from the Spanish classic BMW specialist Max Boxer.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bmw-r45-3.jpg
The tank is a stock unit, but it’s been channeled two inches for a slimmer contour, and re-welded with unpainted stainless steel for a raw, brushed look. The subframe has also been narrowed, and shortened too.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bmw-r45-4.jpg
The seat is a vintage Bates Desert Sled and the lights are PIAA dual driving lights, sitting in front of Montesa ’bars. The original battery has been swapped out for a lightweight lithium unit.
And the ‘Gonzo’ name? Borras declares himself “a profound admirer of Hunter S. Thompson”, but that’s not where the name comes from. “It’s because the bike resembles the great Gonzo from The Muppets,” says Borras.
A German motorcycle customized by a Spanish builder and named after an American television character? I like it. Head over to the ESMC (http://elsolitariomc.blogspot.com) website for build pictures, custom show reports, videos and more.

1977 BMW R100/7
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bmw-cafe-racer.jpg
Frank McGoldrick is one of those people who seem to have a talent for everything they turn their hand to. An accomplished welder and fabricator, he graduated to designing and building bars, shops and restaurants throughout the UK. After selling his business five years ago, Frank moved to the French Alps and was finally able to return to his childhood passion—motorcycles. Finally getting some time on his hands, he decided to build his own motorcycle, “with a style and individuality that most major manufacturers seem to neglect,” he says.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bmw-cafe-racer-1.jpg
After scouring eBay Frank found a 1977 BMW R 100/7 in the UK. It was low mileage, but had been stored outside on a busy London street with no cover. “It was a rusty dirt ball of a bike,” he says. “But with a new battery and a quick service it seemed to run ok. It was simply a case of getting it back to France, an 800-mile journey.” Two days later the BMW was in Frank’s mountain workshop. As the first snow of the winter settled outside, he readied his grinder for some serious work.
He wanted to build a light, functional, everyday motorcycle that “worked”. And also to create a blueprint for his MAKE (http://makeinc.wordpress.com/) brand—a stylish object with an ethos that could be transferred to furniture, clothing, art, interiors and cycles. The first job was to strip down every nut and bolt, remove the engine and wiring, and return the BMW to its component parts. Frank cut the sub frame from the main frame, de-tagging and de-lugging as he went along, and reworking the rear suspension geometry for more aggressive handling. The finished frame was was bead blasted, powdercoated and painted.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bmw-cafe-racer-2.jpg
Meanwhile in the workshop a new competition clutch was fitted, heads were polished and ported, and the carbs were overhauled and rejetted. The casings and wheels were meticulously polished by hand. Frank rewired the bike and fitted a small red starter switch and single speedo into the headlight assembly. A solo leather seat was fabricated, and the exhaust system was shortened, with race mufflers fitted. A custom battery box and lightweight gel battery were installed, along with new levers, throttle, and stainless steel brake and fuel lines. The original bike had a dry weight of 210kg but the MAKE BMW weighs in at 178kg. Frank estimates a 10 bhp increase of over stock, boosting performance still further.
Sketches are underway for a new project and there are two possible options at the moment: a 1970 Triumph T120/650R or an early 70s Harley. It’ll be interesting to see what Frank makes of those.

BMW R100 RS custom
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bmw-r100-rs.jpg
One of the most interesting new European custom builders is Karles Vives of Fuel Bespoke Motorcycles (http://www.fuelmotorcycles.eu/). He’s based in Barcelona, Spain, and is entirely self-taught. He’s also got an excellent eye for aesthetics.
This is the second BMW R100-based build from Fuel. (Here’s the first (http://www.bikeexif.com/bmw-r100-rt).) And this time, Vives has taken elements of flat track bikes as his inspiration: “Light, thin and powerful motorcycles with wide handlebars and big air filters,” he says.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bmw-r100-rs-1.jpg
He’s changed the entire back end of the bike, and worked with VonZeti to create a new seat and tail unit—shortening the subframe to fit. The tank was replaced by one from a BMW R90/6, which is narrower than the R100 RS original. “That gave the bike the look I wanted,” says Vives. “I also modified the slope of the seat and tank unit to get a more aggressive line to the bike.” The bars are from Tommaselli and the original headlight has been replaced with a smaller one, to give the bike a more balanced look.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bmw-r100-rs-2.jpg
K&N air filters sit upstream of the engine, while the exhaust pipes are handmade. Vives has taken the original BMW exhaust and shortened it, terminating the system with upswept reverse cone mufflers. The suspension has been overhauled all round.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bmw-r100-rs-3.jpg
Dunlop K70 Vintage tires and perforated sideplates add to the retro look. The electrics have been condensed inside the battery box, using the space freed up from installing a small gel battery.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bmw-r100-rs-4.jpg
The bike is now for sale: if you’re interested, contact Vives via the Fuel website (http://www.fuelmotorcycles.eu/).

Crowe Customs BMW R80/7
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/bmw-r80.jpg
Custom motorcycles are often about sacrifice. As looks improve, functionality suffers. And most of the time, it doesn’t matter, especially if a bike is only ridden for short blasts, or down to a local watering hole. But it’s good to see the occasional long-haul machine given the custom treatment—like this 1978 BMW R80/7 from Crowe Customs (http://crowemetalco.com) of Portland, Oregon.
“This BMW has been my daily beater for the last three years,” says James Crowe. “It’s taken me across the country, up and down the west coast, and up to Canada in the dead of winter. But last fall, it was really starting to get beat. I hadn’t built a bike for myself in over five years, so the timing was right to blow it apart.”
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/bmw-r80-1.jpg
Crowe is working with the bicycle builder Jordan Hufnagel on a project called West America (http://wearewestamerica.com), celebrating the idea of two-wheeled exploration: cross country trips involving gravel roads, swimming holes and carrying large loads. So the modifications to this R80/7 have a serious purpose.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/bmw-r80-2a.jpg
The front suspension is from a Suzuki DR650, which was a surprisingly easy fit. (“The DR650 bearing races are the same as the stock BMW ones,” Crowe notes.) To complete the install, a custom brake rotor was machined, along with new fender mounts. And at the back, Progressive Suspension (http://www.progressivesuspension.com) shocks improve the ride.
Crowe relocated the battery under the transmission and made a new subframe to match the curve of the custom rear fender. New Church Moto created the seat and rear rack, which is supplemented by pannier mounts and soft bags from Lemolo Baggage.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/bmw-r80-3.jpg
There’s some trick engineering going on here too: the under-tank master cylinder is now actuated by a set of CNC-machined perches and levers, hooked up to an integrated throttle unit. Crowe also made the bars, selecting a wide scrambler-style bend, and designed the ceramic-coated exhaust system.
It’s a practical machine, as the image below shows. And believe it or not, there are even mounting points to carry a full-size MTB bike on the back. Head over to our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151475962097741&set=a.344856472740.157343.51822757740&type=1) to catch a glimpse of that.

BMW R100RT by Cafe Racer Dreams
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/custom-bmw-r-100rt.jpg
Two months ago, CRD (http://www.crdmotorcycles.com/) hit the ball out of the park with an elegant vintage BMW (http://www.bikeexif.com/vintage-bmw) R75. They’ve now revisited the Teutonic theme, this time with a muscular and purposeful R 100RT.
‘Ruby Ring’ was commissioned by an Austrian fan of the Spanish custom builders. And she’s not just a pretty face: the extensive list of mods starts with the engine, which has been heavily upgraded with the help of BMW specialists MaxBOXER.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/custom-bmw-r-100rt-1.jpg
The 1983-model twin has been boosted from 980 to 1040cc, with lightweight high-compression pistons. They’re running a 7mm shorter stroke, but a large overbore. The heads have been ported, with new valves fitted, and a dual-plug ignition system installed. (This comes complete with 16 maps to choose from, so you can select the power curve you want.)
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/custom-bmw-r-100rt-2.jpg
Carbs are Dell’orto, sucking through K&N filtration, and gases exit via a custom exhaust system built by CRD’s neighbors, a company called GR. A lighter and stronger Sach sports clutch handles the extra power.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/custom-bmw-r-100rt-3.jpg
At the front, the 41mm forks have been rebuilt. At the back, the entire structure of the R 100RT is new, and is now anchored by Hagon Nitro shocks. The bars are Renthal Ultra Lows, and the pegs are from Tarozzi. Continental TKC 80 Twinduro dual sport tires give the bike a measure of off-road ability.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/custom-bmw-r-100rt-4.jpg
The stance is appealingly stocky and compact, and the whole shebang is finished in a mix of deep ruby-red paint and gray powder-coat. Muy bonito, ¿no?

Custom BMW R75/6
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/bmw-r75.jpg
I’m a sucker for a tastefully updated classic BMW. And this mid-70s airhead is as good as it gets. The bike started out as a stock R75/6, but it’s now way beyond factory spec—thanks to California-based BMW specialists Boxer Metal (http://www.facebook.com/boxermetal).
According to builder Chris Canterbury, “The customer saw a similar bike in a magazine, and wanted me to build him his own version. So we took the engine up to 1000cc [from 750cc] with late model heads and carburetors, a BMW sport cam and a lightened flywheel.”
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/bmw-r75-1.jpg
Boxer Metal also fitted a police-spec tank and seat obtained from Europe, and had the bodywork repainted by Chico-based artist Dennis Price. They stripped, rebuilt, powder coated and re-laced the wheels with stainless steel spokes. The front end is now a dual disc setup from a R90S; it’s matched to completely rebuilt forks, with Works Performance providing the rear shocks.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/bmw-r75-2.jpg
Extreme attention to detail has given this R75/6 a factory-fresh look: Boxer Metal has powder coated the frame parts, and black anodized many of the other components. The exhaust has been treated to a Jet-Hot Ceramic Coating, and the shiny parts are either chrome-plated or new stainless steel.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/bmw-r75-3.jpg
The standard R75/6 had around 50 hp, but this machine is probably putting out closer to 70—which should give spritely performance for a bike weighing just over 200 kg wet (460 lbs).
Classic style and a decent turn of speed—what more could you want?

Custom BMW R80/7
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/bmw-motorcycle.jpg
BMW Motorrad has a gap in its product range large enough to drive a Bundeswehr Unimog through: it doesn’t have a retro roadster to compete with the hugely popular Triumph Bonneville or the expanding Moto Guzzi V7 fleet. Which is strange, given the remarkable popularity of the classic R-series with custom builders.
Here’s the latest vintage Beemer to catch our eye. It’s an R80/7 built by Luka Cimolini in his garage in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Luka’s original plan was to customize a Dnepr, but documentation issues put paid to that. So he snapped up a 1977 R80 in the UK and shipped it to eastern Europe.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/bmw-motorcycle-1.jpg
It took Luka two years to build this machine, his first custom. But he’s hit the ball out of the park at the first attempt. Slammed low and with a kicked-up seat, he’s given the high-riding R80 a low and sporty stance.
The mods are extensive, with the most obvious being front forks dropped almost two inches and 11-inch shocks fitted at the back. The rebuilt engine is hooked up to universal Megaton reverse cone mufflers, and Luka modified the subframe to take the custom seat unit. The fenders are bobbed BMW originals, and BMW /5 headlight brackets cradle a customized Dnepr lamp. The brake and clutch levers are Triumph, the steering damper knob is from a BMW R26, and the tacho is from an R69S. The grips are Lambretta.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/bmw-motorcycle-2.jpg
It’s a wide-ranging mix of parts, but they hang together remarkably well. The bike can hold its own against airheads from established builders such as Cafe Racer Dreams (http://www.bikeexif.com/vintage-bmw) and El Solitario (http://www.bikeexif.com/bmw-r45-custom).
BMW, it would seem, is taking note of the trend. One of the biggest news stories from this week’s EICMA motorcycle show in Milan is the announcement of a retro roadster from BMW (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151589117892741.431474.51822757740&type=1), to be revealed next year. A development of the LoRider concept, it’s likely to be powered by the current air/oil-cooled, 1170cc boxer motor and feature inverted forks. Can’t wait.

BMW R45 cafe racer
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/bmw-1.jpg
There’s something about the compact, muscular stance of 70s-vintage BMWs that makes them prime candidates for customization. This cafe racer comes from leading glass artist Francesco Pagnin of Treviso in Italy, who calls his motorcycle workshop ‘Franz Garage’. It’s based on a BMW R45 (http://www.bmbikes.co.uk/specpages/R45.htm), the 473cc boxer-engined middleweight built throughout the late 70s and early 80s. After a complete mechanical and electrical overhaul, Francesco built a seat and tail unit and modified the rear frame to suit, using 8mm tubing. There are neat touches throughout, with minimal instrumentation and a new headlight assembly and rearsets. The tank is from an R100, the bars are adjustable Tommaselli items and the mirrors are from Rizoma (http://www.rizoma.com/). Completing the radical transformation of this unassuming R45 is a delicious white, black and gold paintjob from Patron Racing, and stubby custom mufflers built by Francesco himself. Molto bella.

1973 BMW R60/5 Custom
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/bmw-r60-5-custom.jpg
BMW’s classic Boxer engine is one of those powerplants you either love or hate. It looks like no other, and invariably dominates the appearance of a bike. I have to admit I love the look of this motor, and so does Terry Whitehurst (http://theglassboot.blogspot.com/2010/10/bmw-r605-custom.html). He started building his R60/5 custom a year ago, with one thing in mind: minimalism. He was looking for the lines of a race bike but with a twist, taking a dash of inspiration from a ‘47 Panhead. So Terry removed the airbox, fitted K&Ns, and junked the stock Bings for new Mikuni carbs. (“Why do they call Bing carburetors Bing? Because it’s the sound they make hitting the trash can.”) He shortened and reinforced the subframe, and coated the entire chassis with POR-15 before topping it off with a semi-gloss top coat—“literally tougher than powder coat.” The stock forks were shortened 2”, and the wheels were powdercoated and fitted with new stainless spokes. Terry gave the electronics serious attention, fitting a Thunderchild (http://www.thunderchild-design.com/) diode board, Dyna III ignition, and brand new cloth wiring. That killer exhaust, by the way, is not a modern concoction: it’s a 30-year old Luftmeister (http://www.beemergarage.com/documents/dec78.pdf) racing system with a custom baffle in the muffler.

BMW R100 Scrambler
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/bmw-r100-rt.jpg
BMW’s R series is seriously challenging the Honda CB as the custom platform of choice; over the past few months, a remarkable number of stylish 70s BMW customs have been popping up in the Bike EXIF inbox. This one was built by Karles Vives (http://www.behance.net/karlesvives) of Barcelona, Spain, and it’s an RT model—which in BMW’s complicated lexicon, means it’s a tourer. (This was best explained by Cycle magazine’s April 1979 test: “The new RT can best be described as a full-house touring version of the RS, which is a semi-touring version of the S, which is a sporting version of the pipe rack R100T, which is a bunged-out version of the R80/7. Which is a slightly overbored and subtly refined update on the discontinued 750cc model.”) The RT was also the most expensive motorcycle in the world in the late 70s, surpassing even Harley-Davidson’s Electra Glide.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/bmw-r100-rt-1.jpg
Anyway, back to the vehicle in question. “I always wanted to have a unique motorcycle,” says Karles, “the bike that I couldn’t find in any store. I have never done any job on a bike: I have never changed brake pads or removed the battery, so thinking about a custom project seemed to be an impossible mission.” Karles decided to give it a go, and found an R100 RT from 1982 that was the perfect base for his project. “I started to work hard with a lot of enthusiasm and patience, looking for accessories, removing all the parts I didn’t want, and trying to fix the new ones. At my side I had Jerry Churchill’s book, BMW 2-Valve Twins 1970-1993—a great tool for beginners like me—and also the help of some ‘masters’ from the BMW Classic forum.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/bmw-r100-rt-2.jpg
“The main idea was to get a comfortable riding bike with a cool look, and trying not to spend a lot of money. So I went for the Scrambler style, with a high handlebar, solo seat and off-road tires. After three months, this is the result. Hope you like!”

BMW R69S custom
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/bmw_r69s.jpg
I’d be a very happy man if this was the sight that greeted me when I opened my garage door on a Saturday morning. Unfortunately, this is not my workshop; it’s that of Ritmo Sereno (http://www.ritmo-sereno.com/) in Tokyo, a treasure-trove of exquisite vintage machinery. Right now they’re working on this R69S (http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ritmo-sereno.com%2F46blog%2Farchives%2F2010%2F01%2F12466.html&sl=ja&tl=en), which is being customized to a client’s specification. The Munich-built R69S had a long production run—throughout most of the 1960s—and was powered by a 594 cc boxer twin putting out 42 bhp. It was not the fastest machine you could buy, but the engineering was state-of-the-art. The motorcycle magazines were enamoured: in 1962, Cycle Worldsaid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_R69S), “Whatever the BMW’s merits in a contest of speed, it is still the smoothest, best finished, quietest and cleanest motorcycle it has ever been our pleasure to ride. To be honest, we think that anyone who would worry much over its performance-potential is a bit of a booby. The R69S is fast enough to handle any encounter, and it has attributes that are, in touring, infinitely more valuable than mere speed.” Ritmo hasn’t revealed the mechanical modifications yet, but the suspension, bars and exhaust system are new. The bike has also been fitted with revised bodywork including a new fairing, fenders, seat and rear cowl. For more pictures of the original
BMW R80 custom
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/bmw-r80.jpg
There are some bikes that are all show and no go, but this BMW reflects a different kind of ‘show’. It’s positively theatrical. Secreted amongst the mechanicals are an antique glass doorknob, a brass bicycle bell and a tiny cameo portrait—see images below—added by the owner, Vancouver-based artist and actor Justin Wright. His Beemer started life in 1987 as an R80/RT (http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/buyersguide/BMW-R80RT.htm), and was customized by an engineer/machinist called Kurt Lang. “Kurt decided to use the bike as a custom platform,” says Justin, “and in his words, ‘To see what I could do with metal for a motorcycle’.” Kurt spent a winter building this BMW, and after a couple of months of riding, sold the bike to Justin. I don’t know how much money changed hands, but there are a lot of man-hours here. The tank, seat and engine top case are all polished, hand-made aluminum. The headlight, brake light and footpegs are also aluminum, and were hand turned on a lathe. The straight bars, controls and the entire exhaust are hand-crafted in stainless steel. And if you’re wondering why the engine looks a little unusual for an R80, it’s because the cylinder heads were replaced with those from a much earlier model BMW—for the rounded look—with the remaining fins rounded off. Despite the elegant little accessories, this BMW is intrinsically functional: “Everything not necessary has been removed,” says Justin. “The bike is basic and detailed with purpose in mind. I think of it as a futuristic motorcycle built by someone in the 1930s.” [Images by Jason Lang (http://www.jasonlang.ca/).]
UPDATE 25 July 2010 We’ve added two new images at the bottom of the photo gallery below to show the seat and exhaust more clearly. There’s also a basic YouTube video that reveals what the R80 sounds like when started up.

BMW R100T custom
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/bmw-r1001.jpg
When I first saw this BMW, I struggled to put a date to it. Was it an older bike freshened up, or a relatively new bike that had taken a trip back in time? It turned out to be an R100T (http://www.bmbikes.co.uk/specpages/R100T.htm) resto-mod, customized to make it look older than its 1979 model year. It’s owned by Oakland-based Jean-David Gerber: “My goal was to have it overhauled in such a way that it would look more like a bike from the 1960s—a ‘naked’ bike, with fork gaiters and spoked wheels and so on. As you know, BMW used to have a very conservative approach to the design of their ‘airheads’: most parts are interchangeable throughout the 25 years of their production, from 1970 to 1995. Greg Hutchinson (http://gregsgssite.shutterfly.com/), one of the airhead experts of the San Francisco Bay Area, kindly agreed to teach me the basics of mechanics.”
Jean-David replaced the wheels, tank, turn signals, valve covers and handlebars with parts from older BMW models. The seat is a modified police seat from a R90/6. The objective was to have a later-model 1000 cc airhead that “looks old, but still fresh.” The ‘Sienna Ivory’ color comes from a modern Vespa GTV250 and none of the metal parts were polished (to retain the patina) but some were bead-blasted. The engine was overhauled and kept stock—except for fitting dual plugs, electronic ignition and a deeper oil pan—so as not to compromise reliability. The result is understated and low-key, but to my eyes, creamily delicious. See the full restoration, beautifully photographed, on Jean-David’s Airhead Reborn (http://airheadreborn.blogspot.com/) blog.

BMW R60/5 cafe racer
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/bmw-r60.jpg
Most images that we receive fall into one of two categories: average photographs of a very interesting motorcycle, or beautiful photographs of a fairly common motorcycle. So when you happen across a photographer who is also a vintage bike nut, it’s a marriage made in heaven. This exquisite customized R60/5 is owned by commercial photographer Josh Withers (http://www.joshwithers.com/), and he’s shown off the bike to perfection. It helps to live near a Californian beach, I guess, but this machine would look equally gorgeous in the grungiest Atlantic City alleyway. The Berlin-built R60/5 was in the middle of BMW’s ‘slash 5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_/5_motorcycles)’ range—the others being the R50/5 and the R75/5—and had a 600cc air-cooled motor in the traditional boxer configuration. Josh’s machine is a 1973 ‘toaster (http://w6rec.com/duane/bmw/tank/index.htm)‘-tank model from the last year of production, and he paid just $500 for it. As with many bargain bikes, the problems soon started to mount up, and Josh ended up doing a bare-frame restoration. But the result was worth it, don’t you think?

BMW R100 race replica
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/bmw-r100.jpg
Three years ago, Ritmo Sereno of Tokyo produced a stunning orange BMW R80 track bike (http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ritmo-sereno.com%2Fcustomfile%2Farchives%2F2007%2F12%2F001220.html&sl=ja&tl=en)—the highly successful ‘Nakajima’ racer. Now a Ritmo customer has commissioned a road-going version—and this is it (http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ritmo-sereno.com%2Fcustomfile%2Farchives%2F2010%2F07%2F003101.html&sl=ja&tl=en). It’s based on a 1991 R100 RS, but many of the other details are close to the track machine. The suspension is Öhlins front and back, the brake system is from Brembo and carburetion is Keihin FCR. Ritmo has paid a lot of attention to weight, so the 230kg-or-so of the stock machine has been reduced to a gossamer 175kg. (The battery holder, oil catch tank and the frame from the engine backwards are handmade in lightweight aluminium alloy.) Power is now around 80bhp at the back wheel, helped by a custom-made 2-into-1 exhaust system routed through a modified center stand. Ritmo has documented the entire build on its website—the link is here (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http://www.ritmo-sereno.com/46blog/archives/002/cat190/&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&twu=1) (via Google Translate). The level of craftsmanship is extraordinary, but if the authentic orange paint job is a little too garish for you, check out the original and (equally illustrious) Nakajima racer, a lovely blue R90/6 (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http://www.ritmo-sereno.com/customfile/archives/2007/04/001213.html&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&twu=1). Is there a better custom BMW builder in the world today?

BMW R1200 custom
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bmw_r1200.jpg
Most motorcycle marques can point to a single early model that set the tone for those that followed and established the brand. In BMW’s case it’s the R32. It was unveiled at the Berlin motor show in 1923, and it was a good fifty years later before BMW Motorrad shook off the R32′s iconic black-paint-and-pinstripes look. This ‘R1232’ is a very unusual custom built by a team led by Jean-Luc Dupont of the French BMW dealer Panda Moto 89. Jean-Luc is based in Villeneuve-Sur-Yonne, south east of Paris, and he’s known for creating BMW customs based on current production models.
According to the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America website (http://www.bmwmoa.org/news/general_interest/r_1232_german_heart_and_french_design_flair), ‘Jean-Luc had the idea of creating a modern interpretation of the R32 using current technology. This would be a complete motorcycle design and production exercise, and would require everything to be fabricated … “Harley-Davidson has built its reputation on having their motorcycles as a modern interpretation of the past. I wanted to do the same for BMW, and where better to start than BMW’s first motorcycle, the R32?” said Jean-Luc.’
It’s interesting to compare the specifications of the original R32 with Jean-Luc’s creation. The 1923 bike had 8.5hp and weighed 122kg. The R1232 has 107 horses and weighs 235kg (520 lbs), which is reasonable by today’s standards. So the power-to-weight ratio has increased by more than six-fold. (The six-speed gearbox will ease progress even further.) If there’s a question mark, it’ll be over the braking system and the 2.5” wide tires, which roll on 21” rims at the front and 19” at the back. But then again, you can’t have everything. The R1232 took US$95,000, 16 months and over 600 hours of work to create, and you’ll find the full specification (http://www.pandamoto.fr/R1232.htm) (in French) and more photos on the Panda Moto website.

BMW R69S
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/bmw-r69s.jpg
When this R69S (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_R69S) rolled into the workshop of Tokyo resto-mod specialists Ritmo Sereno, it was a slightly gawky custom with mismatched curves and a shapeless silver tank. With their usual attention to detail, Ritmo reworked it into a beautiful cafe racer (http://www.ritmo-sereno.com/customfile/archives/2010/11/003181.html) with more conventional BMW lines and a useful performance boost. The front wheel was dropped down a notch from 18” to 17”, and Excel rims fitted both front and rear. A front brake from a Suzuki GT750 was installed, and the stock Bing carburetors were replaced by a Keihin FCR (http://keihincarbs.com/carbs/fcr/gate.html) setup—breathing through new intake manifolds machined from a 70mm bar of 2017S aluminum. New rearsets pushed the riding position forward and the new tank, although it looks authentic at first glance, is actually a fiberglass skin over a handmade 13.5l aluminum interior. A full rewire and custom accessories such as new blinkers completed the job. Ritmo CEO Siroh Nakajima has catalogued the build in detail on his personal blog—head here (http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ritmo-sereno.com%2F46blog%2Farchives%2F002%2Fr69s%2F&act=url) to check it out.

BMW R60/5 custom
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/bmw-r60-custom.jpg
I’ve always had a soft spot for 1970s BMWs, but I haven’t seen anything quite like this slash-five before. It’s owned by Frenchman Gaëtan Pillaud (http://dirtybootz.blogspot.com/2010/10/blog-post_31.html), and he calls it a ‘Clubber’—a mix between a clubman and a bobber. The bike started life as a 1973 R60/5, which means it has an aircooled 599cc boxer twin motor, shaft drive, and a kickstart mounted on the back of the gearbox. It’s got a Trackmaster tank and seat sourced from eBay, military-spec Firestone ANS tires, and café racer clip-on bars from LSL (http://www.lsl-motorradtechnik.de/). Gaëtan dropped the forks at the front to improve the bike’s stance, and fitted custom shocks to keep the back end under control. The alloy rear fender was made by French motorcycle legend George Martin, and the exhaust is an authentic Dunstall. If the headlight, almost dwarfed on this bike, looks familiar, that’s because it’s from an AMF-era Harley shovel. Even the wiring harness has received attention—it’s sheathed in woven cotton in true vintage style. It’s a little rough around the edges, but this Beemer has a strange charm all of its own—the perfect machine for a spirited blast down a winding road in the Pyrenées.

1934 BMW R7
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/bmw_r7.jpg
Issue #3 of BMW Motorcycle Magazine (http://www.bmw-motorcycle-magazine.com/) showcases the amazing R7 concept, describing it as “one of the most important, innovative and visually stunning motorcycles ever produced.” We agree. Although this BMW is over 70 years old, it could almost be a contemporary concept. It was shelved as WWII approached, and put in a box. In 2005, that box was opened, and BMW Classic (http://www.bmw.com/com/en/insights/history/bmwclassic/content.html) started the restoration. There’s more information about the project on Phil Hawksley’s BM Bikes (http://www.bmbikes.co.uk/photopages/photosr7.htm).

BMW R75/5 Café Racer
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/bmw_r75-5_cafe_racer.jpgCanadian Hector Catre sent us these pictures of his gorgeous BMW R75/5. He spent 700 hours restoring this classy café racer, which actually started life as a 1972 BMW R60/5 short wheelbase ‘Toaster’. The R75/5 was one of the lightest 750cc motorbikes of the early 70s, and extremely reliable. Many are still on the road with over 100,000 miles on the clock, even without overhaul. Hector will get a lot of mileage out of this beauty.
Magni-BMW MB1
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Magni-BMW_MB1.jpg
Magni is one of those motorcycling names, like Egli, that hovers on the periphery of stardom. Egli (http://www.godet-motorcycles.com/egli/egli.htm) is inseparable from Vincent, but Magni is associated with MV Agusta, Honda and Moto Guzzi. Some of the earliest Magnis, though, had BMW power. The MB1 shown above uses a heavily modified airhead taken from a BMW R80, bored out to a liter. Franz Eieresser has owned this bike since new: he ordered it in 1987, and supplied the engine to MV Agusta importer Hansen/Schneider of Baden-Baden. Franz restored his bike a year ago and describes it as ‘a fun factory’. Although the top speed is only around 200 km/h, he says it’s a lot of fun getting there.

http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/bmw_bobber_rodney_aguiar.jpg
This amazing BMW was reportedly built by a fellow named Rodney Aguiar, who has worked for Roland Sands (http://www.rolandsands.com/). It’s a BMW R80 (http://ohoh2.blogspot.com/2009/04/bmw-r80.html) given the bobber treatment, and the detailing is exquisite—from the blacked-out boxer engine and mechanicals to the way the coil of the monoshock matches that signature BMW yellow paintwork on the tank. It’s strange, but it all hangs together somehow: it reminds us of the work of Deus (http://deuscustoms.com) in Sydney. Information about this bike is scant, but if you know more, drop us a line in the comments.

Ron Wood BMW F 800
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ron_wood_flat_tracker1.jpg
A couple of years ago, BMW USA took the Rotax engine from an F 800 and gave it to legendary flat track builder Ron Wood (http://www.rotax.net/). Wood obliged by building this exquisite machine, and on its very first competitive outing, it finished in sixth place. The F 800 was the loudest bike on the track: the AMA race announcer reported that the BMW “sounded like a bear coming out of his den for the first time”. But aside from the exhaust system, the motor in this bike is mostly stock, and it even retains the electric start. Wouldn’t it be great if BMW made a road-legal version of this?
Memo to BMW: “Win on Sunday, sell on Monday.”

BMW R75/5
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/bmw_r75-5.jpg
I love this image. And not just because I have a soft spot for old BMW airheads: it’s also a classic example of a picture telling a story. William Pruyn (http://twoifbytoaster.wordpress.com/) bought this 1972 ‘toaster (http://www.5united.net/html/fueltanks.htm)’ (check the chrome-paneled tank) two years ago in San Francisco, and grabbed the shot four months ago in the Nevada desert as he rode coast-to-coast on Route 50. The 750 cc R75/5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R75/5) was one of the fastest production motorcycles of its time, and the first BMW bike to be manufactured completely in Berlin. Pruyn remembers that his bike “came with a ton of paperwork, including a log from the first owner which included details like location, mileage, amount of fuel bought, mechanical notes, and ambient temperature.” The bike is mostly original except for a reproduction seat, and Pruyn has added a Dyna (http://www.dynaonline.com/skins/default.aspx) condenser and Hepco & Becker (http://www.hepco-becker.de/_eng/frameset.php) reproductions of the vintage Krauser cases. “When we decided to move back to NYC, I planned a trip across the US of backroads and camping,” says Pruyn. “I had Dave of Recommended Service (http://www.yelp.com/biz/recommended-service-san-francisco) give it his blessing—he even used a few drops of water from a milk jug he kept in the shop labeled ‘Bavarian Holy Water’—and it ran great the entire way.”
1975 BMW R90/6
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/6.jpgThis immaculate example of the Hans Muth-designed BMW R90/6 was recently sold in Tokyo by Ritmo Sereno (“Serene Pace”). The upscale workshop has the glacial cool of a Porsche showroom, but specialises in mint BMWs and Moto Guzzis from the 70s to the 90s. The stock list (http://www.ritmo-sereno.com/usedbike/index.html) is always worth checking, along with the portfolio of tastefully tweaked Euro custom bikes (http://www.ritmo-sereno.com/customfile/index.html).
Poco a poco, ¨en la sombra¨ y entre muchos otros proyectos va creciendo esta BMW.
Ya se van viendo las formas.
En cuanto al diseño en colores, se ve que predomina el negro como Pepe quería. El toque de color será presentado en su momento...
En esta entrada podéis ver el montaje del bloque motor sobre el chasis para más tarde agregar pistones, cilindros, culatas, etc.
También presentamos nuevo grupo de frenos con unas pinzas mucho más potentes que las originales que vienen de una BMW R1200 GS de 2005, los discos vienen se HD Sportster, y para que todo esto acople muchas horas de trabajo en el taller.
Los puños junto a las piñas firmadas por la prestigiosa marca alemana Motogadget, el conjunto de faro, cuenta kilómetros y botón de menú Motogadget finalizan esta entrada que ya huele a final!!

El pasado miércoles pasó por el taller su dueño y quedó enamorado del proyecto.
Las premisas a seguir eran claras y parece que hemos acertado en sus gustos.
Para nosotros es un placer estar haciendo esta moto para Pepe y su agencia.
El proyecto ya está sobre ruedas y a falta de eléctrico, carburadores, guardabarros y poco más.
Y para que quede constancia dejamos aquí tres fotos donde presentamos la nueva pintura del tanque de gasolina, el asiento en piel negra y los escapes!!

Como podéis ver, en el caso de esta R100 estamos haciendo todo el motor.
Hace unos días hicimos la recopilación de todas las piezas y hoy ya ha empezado su montaje.
Un trabajo bonito que renovará la sangre de esta mítica montura alemana.

Ayer fue la presentación por todo lo alto de mano de BikeExif (http://www.bikeexif.com/cafe-racer-bmw-r100).
Hoy toca por aquí!!!
Muchos habéis seguido sus pasos y en algo menos de un mes esta BMW se ha convertido en lo que Didier quería.
Pronto esta R100/7 surcará las carreteras de Los Alpes franceses.
Estamos muy contentos con el resultado final, espero que a vosotros os guste tanto como a nosotros!
Desde aquí queremos dar las gracias a Cesar de Love for Iron (http://www.facebook.com/loveforiron?fref=ts) por estas magnífica sesión de fotos.

Kevils R80 Amigo (http://thebikeshed.cc/2013/01/27/kevils-r80-amigo/)
Posted by Dutch (http://thebikeshed.cc/author/avs/) on Jan 27, 2013 in Kevils (http://thebikeshed.cc/category/kevils/), Pro Builds (http://thebikeshed.cc/category/pro-builds/) | No Comments (http://thebikeshed.cc/2013/01/27/kevils-r80-amigo/#comments)
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amigo-R80-Tank-LS-800.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amigo-R80-Tank-LS-800.jpg)
This 1982/83 BMW R80 is an ex-Police bike and was commissioned by Robin from Bolivia South America for a full Kevils (http://www.kevilsspeedshop.com) Speedshop cafe racer build. Kev & C’os reputation for building stunning BMW customs has clearly reached way beyond the shores of the UK and it’s not surprising considering the mix of consistency and value for money that Kev and his team provide at their Devon-based custom workshop.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amigo-R80-Tank-LSRA-800.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amigo-R80-Tank-LSRA-800.jpg)
Robin wanted a bike similar to “Jet!”, one of Kevil’s cafe racers from 2012, and Kev was happy to oblige but this time with a few improvements, including a hidden battery, and Kevil’s own alloy seat unit with with leather tuck and roll trim.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amigo-R80-Tank-CU-800.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amigo-R80-Tank-CU-800.jpg)
The bike also benefited from a stainless steel top yoke, a white faced clock (in KMH). Kevil’s stainless 2 into 1 system was also routed to the other side of the bike to allow the side mounted plate and tail light to be mounted to the left.

The bike is painted in Ford Pearl Panther Black with contrasting triple white racing stripes. Robin also wanted a headlight guard fitted to protect the lens as the roads are not great in Bolivia.

Newer style cam covers give away the bike’s 82/83 birthdate.

Side mounted plate leaves the rear end looking lean & mean.

Kev and Co were going to call the bike Chollo, which means Jet in Spanish (the most widely spoken language in Bolivia) but according to the urban dictionary this also means the squits/shits, so they wisely moved away from that moniker and instead settled on the more widely known and friendly Amigo.

Kevils B-Monda (http://thebikeshed.cc/2013/04/15/kevils-bmonda/)
Posted by Dutch (http://thebikeshed.cc/author/avs/) on Apr 15, 2013 in Kevils (http://thebikeshed.cc/category/kevils/), Pro Builds (http://thebikeshed.cc/category/pro-builds/) | No Comments (http://thebikeshed.cc/2013/04/15/kevils-bmonda/#comments)

Seems like Kev Hill has decided to mix it up a little from the usual Kevils Speedshop blueprint- literally – with this Honda tanked – and badged – R100 Brat-style custom. Broad, up-swept Triumph handlebars with trendy brown grips and a yellow-lensed headlamp shout 1970s roadster almost as loud as the white-wrapped pipes’ Mega silencers.

The donor is an R100/7 and was commission by Mark in London – and we expect to see her at The Bike Shed event this May. The retro Cream, Blue, White and Yellow paint is pure old-school but sits nicely beside satin black powdercoat on the cut down fenders.

The three-quarter length tuck and roll seat is Kevil’s own, as is the usual attention to detail and finish that all Kev’s customers can expect from his builds.

The industrial looking rear lamp might have been wrestled from one of Doctor Who’s early Daleks and really looks the part.

Original BMW snowflake cast wheels have a timeless look reminiscent of spokes but are a lot easier to take care of, and always look good in black.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Kevils-Bmonda-Engine-800.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Kevils-Bmonda-Engine-800.jpg)
This is the kind of bike that makes you look twice – or maybe three times, once you clock the Honda badged Flat twin and trademark Beemer chassis parts, but it’s not just the mix of brands that will get this bike plenty of attention at your local cafe, it’s also the fact that she’s just plain pretty.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Kevils-Bmonda-RALside-800.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Kevils-Bmonda-RALside-800.jpg)
…and if you haven’t ever ridden a BMW cafe-racer or brat-style scrambler then you might be in for a pleasant surprise. Old beemers look big but there’s a lot of space around those engines, and the weight they do carry is very low. Also, the brakes actually work on later models, and there’s a fair amount of grunt once you get used to the way Beemers deliver their modest power. Just ride the torque and enjoy.
Here she is in her natural habitat, hanging out in the Kevils’ workshop, where we are also teased by a glimpse of her interesting looking cafe-cousin in beaten aluminium.

Down in deepest Surrey, Russ will be counting the days before Kev Hill & Co at Kevils deliver his new baby, this cafe racer’d BMW, which has been given the nickname, “Black Jack”.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Blackjack-LSRA-800.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Blackjack-LSRA-800.jpg)
The donor is a 1982 BMW R80, which has been given the usual Kevils treatment, fitted out in proper cafe racer style with scooped L-shaped seat unit and Ace bars to give a clip-on style bar position. Add a set Rassk rearsets and you get a proper head-down, arse-up aggressive riding stance.

To get the paint looking this rich and deep the guys mixed Ford metallic Panther Black (ooooh) with Red Pearl from the latest Ferraris. Wheels are Kevil’s favourites, the standard but much-sought-after Snowflakes, powdercoated black.

To compliment the deep fire-red and black paint, the seat is upholstered in a Oxblood leather tuck and roll, matched with trendy brown grips.

Twin chrome Mega silencers take care of the acoustics, while speed is monitored using a small, slimline white-faced speedo from Kev’s secret source.

And then there’s the rest; upgraded brake discs, the Kevil’s ally seat unit, a new top yoke, rear subframe, and the hidden battery – all you’d expect from the usual thorough job we’ve come to expect from this Devon workshop.
Enjoy her Russ!

Kevils R80 Husky (http://thebikeshed.cc/2013/02/26/kevils-r80-husky/)

Obviously this isn’t an actual Husqvarna, but anyone familiar with their range will have seen images of the likes of Steve McQueen sitting astride a manly-looking dirtbike in exactly these colours, so it’s understandable why Kev & Co at Kevils Speedshop (http://www.kevilsspeedshop.com) decided to nickname this latest R80 build “Husky”
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Kevils-Husky-Bars-800.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Kevils-Husky-Bars-800.jpg)

Apart from the paint scheme one standout feature is Kevils own high-level brsuhed stainless exhast system, which snakes over the clinders and white numberboard like a drawing in a Dr Seuss book. The metal polished Street Scrambler seat is also Kevil’s own, trimmed in tuck’n'roll leather.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Kevils-Husky-RS-800.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Kevils-Husky-RS-800.jpg)

Up front the matt black headlamp is complemented hy a small white faced speedo and mid-level silver satin braced dirtbike style bars. Wheels are also powder coated in satin finish black.

Overall it’s another lovely Kevils beemer, adding to their inventory of quality BMW custom builds. Kev says; “We are really pleased with the way it all goes together the colour and proportion balance is good” We agree.

Kevils R80 Amigo (http://thebikeshed.cc/2013/01/27/kevils-r80-amigo/)

This 1982/83 BMW R80 is an ex-Police bike and was commissioned by Robin from Bolivia South America for a full Kevils (http://www.kevilsspeedshop.com) Speedshop cafe racer build. Kev & C’os reputation for building stunning BMW customs has clearly reached way beyond the shores of the UK and it’s not surprising considering the mix of consistency and value for money that Kev and his team provide at their Devon-based custom workshop.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amigo-R80-Tank-LSRA-800.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amigo-R80-Tank-LSRA-800.jpg)
Robin wanted a bike similar to “Jet!”, one of Kevil’s cafe racers from 2012, and Kev was happy to oblige but this time with a few improvements, including a hidden battery, and Kevil’s own alloy seat unit with with leather tuck and roll trim.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amigo-R80-Tank-CU-800.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amigo-R80-Tank-CU-800.jpg)
The bike also benefited from a stainless steel top yoke, a white faced clock (in KMH). Kevil’s stainless 2 into 1 system was also routed to the other side of the bike to allow the side mounted plate and tail light to be mounted to the left.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amigo-R80-Tank-RARSOH-800.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amigo-R80-Tank-RARSOH-800.jpg)
The bike is painted in Ford Pearl Panther Black with contrasting triple white racing stripes. Robin also wanted a headlight guard fitted to protect the lens as the roads are not great in Bolivia.

Newer style cam covers give away the bike’s 82/83 birthdate.

Side mounted plate leaves the rear end looking lean & mean.

Kev and Co were going to call the bike Chollo, which means Jet in Spanish (the most widely spoken language in Bolivia) but according to the urban dictionary this also means the squits/shits, so they wisely moved away from that moniker and instead settled on the more widely known and friendly Amigo.

Kevils Erica (http://thebikeshed.cc/2012/12/05/kevils-erica/)

Formerly known simply as a 1983 R100RS, this 1000cc Beemer is now more affectionately known as “Erica” by her new owner, put together by gurus of the flat twin cafe custom, Kevils (http://www.kevilsspeedshop.com), based down in Devon in the UK.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kevils-Erica-RS.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kevils-Erica-RS.jpg)
According to Kev Hill, this bike has had the full monty, being graced with twin-plug heads, and the sparks driven by Dyno coils and an ignition booster. Having burned the fuel more efficiently than the usual Boxer of that era, burnt gases exit through Supertrapp silencers with unusually long, sloped cones, slash-cut at the ends.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kevils-Erica-Engine-RS-MCU.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kevils-Erica-Engine-RS-MCU.jpg)
The standard RS already benefits from Brembo brakes, oil cooler and rear disc brake as standard so she’s a great donor.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kevils-Erica-FA-RS.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kevils-Erica-FA-RS.jpg)
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kevils-Erica-LS.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kevils-Erica-LS.jpg)
Erica’s forks are stiffened with San Jose braces coupled with Kevils’ own shortie front mudguard, Kevils Alloy seat unit unit and Tuck and roll leather upholstery.

Raask rearsets take care of the riding position and foot controls, and here’s a better view of those unusual slash-cut extended Supertrapp silencers.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kevils-Erica-LS-RA.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kevils-Erica-LS-RA.jpg)
The battery is tucked away under the seat and OEM sidestand is swapped out for a Surefoot item while Koni rear shocks support Kevils’ favourite snowflake wheels, which are powder coated black to match the blacked-out engine.
Up top, a white-faced speedo is mounted on a Kevils’ brushed stainless top yoke plate, while the rest of the bike is finished in Lancia Bronze Pearl with white racing stripes and a BMW silver headlamp to light-up those twisty corners after dark.

Kev’s tells us his brief was a to build a proper minimalist cafe racer with humped race seat, and dropped bars, emulating the look and feel of clips-ons, but also having all the bells & whistles you’d expect on a useable daily ride that shifts when you pin the throttle. We say; job done!

This dark and majestic Beemer is the latest, and most different, bike to come out of Kevils (http://www.kevilsspeedshop.com)‘ Devon workshop. With a sprung saddle over twin bullet-shaped indicator/tail lights combined with high brushed stainless pipes and ribbed fork gaitors it has a strange scrambler/chop look that reminds us a little of the brutal Galaxy Customs Beemer we featured a few weeks ago, but this is much more timeless… Or perhaps a bit “Victorian Steampunk from a parallel universe”?
I don’t think we’ve ever seen anything quite like it – yet it’s unmistakeably a Kevils’ bike with their snowflake wheels, clean lines and slim instruments.

Based on a 1981 R100T the bike also features a gel battery hidden in vintage leather conductors bag, with black satin mudguards and polished stainless supports all made in house.

Kev described the silencer as a “cocktail shaker” and combined with white-faced speedo, white grips and orange & white pin-striping painted by hand by tattoo guru, Simon Dent, from Exmouth in Devon, the whole thing comes together with stark contrasts in both shades and components.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Rooster-Front-LS-700.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Rooster-Front-LS-700.jpg)

It’s certainly totally individual and very different from the norm, and we suspect it will be a love/hate bike for most of our punters here and on Facebook.

Side mounted plate also adds to the complex mix of custom styles, neither cafe, scrambler, tracker or brat… We love it.

Kev Hill, AKA Kevils Speedshop, has whipped-up another lovely custom Beemer, based on the trusty old R100. This lovely little scrambler was commissioned by Matt Bardock and has been given the catchy moniker “Siren” which could be because she is a seaside beauty that will tempt you to your doom, or perhaps it’s the sound of the Police chasing the owner through town after some over enthusiastic stunting on the Queen’s highway?
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Siren-2.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Siren-2.jpg)
Either way, she’s a beauty, and an one of the few options for owning an affordable unique custom motorcycle that you really can ride every day and in all weathers. Keep it up Kev.

Here’s another fine scrambler boxer twin from the West Country’s Kevils Speed Shop, this time given the moniker, Sparky.
The build was commissioned by John in London, and is based on a 1980 BMW R100 featuring a chrome powder coated tank, custom high level stainless two into one exhaust, retro rocker covers, polished aluminium side panels, fully upholstered cafe seat and digital speedo

Personally speaking, I can’t get enough of he current crop of Beemers being turned into custom scramblers and cafe racers. There aren’t many bikes that provide such a versatile platform that’s cheap and easy to work on, with a plentiful supply of donor bikes and interchangeable parts, which will all bolt or weld together to provide a custom you can use all day, every day, come rain or shine, and chances are you’ll still be riding it in twenty years.

Kev Hill at Kevils down in the West Country has had a busy few months getting a couple of new customer bikes ready for the spring, including this gorgeous Ruby Helmets inspired Cafe Racer.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/kevils-1003139.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/kevils-1003139.jpg)
Commissioned by Marek from Poland, the bike is based around a 1983 BMW r100 with the usual Kevils cafe treatment, and a genuinely striking custom paint job. Marek will have no trouble picking his bike out in the parking lot.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/kevils-1003160.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/kevils-1003160.jpg)

As well as the usual detailing on a Kevils custom, the bike features a Bonita style seat, Raask rearsets, Floating rotor, Digital speedo and wrinkle finish, blacked-out engine.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/kevils-1003126.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/kevils-1003126.jpg)
As usual Kev has been upfront about his pricing, and this custom is sensibly priced at a genuinely attainable and affordable £6000… Get saving, and then go see Kevils.

Kevils Beemers Re-Born (http://thebikeshed.cc/2012/01/19/reborn-beemers/)
Posted by Dutch (http://thebikeshed.cc/author/avs/) on Jan 19, 2012 in Kevils (http://thebikeshed.cc/category/kevils/), Pro Builds (http://thebikeshed.cc/category/pro-builds/) | No Comments (http://thebikeshed.cc/2012/01/19/reborn-beemers/#comments)

Way down in deepest darkest Devon you’ll find Kevils Speed Shop (http://www.facebook.com/home.php#%21/profile.php?id=100002764314256), run by Kevin Hill (see what he did there) who appears to have mastered the art of re-shaping old BMW Boxers into desireable – and affordable – cafe racers and flat trackers.
Not only do these bikes make brilliantly practical customs (as we’ve seen with our very own Untitled MC’s (http://thebikeshed.cc/2012/01/19/reborn-beemers/www.untitledmotorcycles.com)bikes) they are also reliable, solid and, with donor bikes aplenty, they’re an extremely keenly-priced way to own a peice of something unique.

This is Kev’s latest creation – the Snapper is based on an R100. Most of the custom parts are locally sourced and there seems to be a ready supply of unused old parts available too.
http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Snapper-3.jpg (http://thebikeshed.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Snapper-3.jpg)
The bikes are properly strippped and refinished, with new filters and seals, stainless bolts and rewiring, and build time is aroung 6 weeks per bike. I have to say that the Snapper is our clear favourite, but the Spider runs it a close second and would make a killer town bike.

1980 BMW R80 - Tarmac Custom Motorcycles (http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2013/3/6/1980-bmw-r80-tarmac-custom-motorcycles.html)

http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/BMW_Tarmac%2011.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1362463783912
I’m sure many of us know the situation. A complete bike in pieces, a vision of the end product in our head, and trying to work out how wrong you will be about the budget required for the build. Tarmac Custom Motorcycles (http://tarmaccustommotorcycles.com/) encountered the first two of these ideas, and the latter ended up being no issue, as whatever they spent on it was worth it. Javi Pacheco and Jano Valiente, a classic bike enthusiast and a seasoned mechanic respectively, joined forces in late 2011. Since then they have completed 12 bikes, with a handful more to finish. Their latest offering comes in the form of a 1980 BMW R80 flat tracker, which showcases the Tarmac workshop’s talents beautifully.
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/1.1Tarmac%2009.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1362463944758
As mentioned, the bike found it’s way to the Tarmac workshop in pieces. This only made the start of the build easier, the engine being stripped down and carefully rebuilt. A coat of matt black paint covers the engine, one part of the dark aesthetic of the frame section of the bike. In place of the the stock carburettors sit a pair of Keihins, which according to Javi will ‘make for really smooth driving and more punch at high revs’. To keep an eye on how much punch, a universal speedo has been wired up and mounted on the handlebars.
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/1.1Tarmac%2002.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1362464406282
The rear frame is all new, a shorter hoop being welded to the bike frame. Beneath the custom hoop sits a pair of smaller passenger footpegs than the ones the factory fitted. The factory front footpegs were ditched as well, a set of BMX pedals replacing them. According to Tarmac, this helps with better access to the rear brake and gear change levers. This bike rolls on Avon Classic tyres, the short rear guard a custom make by Tarmac, fashioned inhouse on an English wheel.
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/1.1Tarmac%2007.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1362464132604
The Beemer’s handling hasn’t been neglected, with Tarmac putting their touches on the bike, so it can be as fun as it is goodlooking. The coiled rear shocks, donated by a Triumph Thruxton, sit inclined forward on the rear frame. At the front end, the forks have been lowered and treated to a set of handlebars from a Bultaco Sherpa. To raise the performance of the front brakes, a Honda ST1100 master cylinder pumps stopping power through stainless steel braided hoses.
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/1.1Tarmac%2003.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1362464204342
It’s the neatness of the build, almost clinical in it’s manner that stands out the most. The lack of inhibition used when choosing the parts allows the bike’s lines to just flow, an example of this being the Montesa H6 headlight unit being used in the build. After less than two years in the bike building scene, Tarmac are producing bikes with the same level of skill as (or better than) builders who have been in the game for a lot longer. And with a handful of bikes waiting to be finished, we can be sure to see more bikes built by Tarmac Custom Motorcycles in the time to come.
So next time you are looking at a deconstructed bike, use Tarmac’s R80 as inspiration, and remember you will always be wrong about the build budget.

Rudy Banny’s '86 BMW R80RS - “Brafé Racer” (http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2012/12/19/rudy-bannys-86-bmw-r80rs-brafe-racer.html)

Rudy Banny's college career began with Petroleum Engineering. That's the art of getting crude oil out of the ground and in to pipes. But that was only for about ½ a semester, after which he found out that several calculus classes were involved, and promptly dropped out. Amen to that. Afterwards, you could say he did complete u-turn and got into a little Petroleum Deconstruction. “I've always been a huge fan of Brat Style. After landing a job in advertising, I fell in love with BMW's when a buddy of mine let me ride his 1965 r60/2 and 1972 r75/5 for a week when I was shooting in LA. That was it. I fell in love with airheads. I wanted one, but just couldn't get into the purist mentality that seems so prevalent with Bimmer owners. I’m more of a custom guy. So, I started looking for the cleanest, most pristine airhead I could find, so I could deconstruct it.”

“I was intrigued by Nicholas Damen's Bee Emm Brat (http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2012/7/23/92-r80-bmw-brat-tracker.html) posted on Pipeburn, so I used it as my inspiration for this build, except I went ‘Brafé’ Style...”

The bike started out as a fully dressed 1986 R80RS. After stripping it down to a motor and a frame, Rudy started by powder coating the wheels, forks and driveshaft flat black. He then installed an Acewell Speedo, a new headlight and fork ears and brake lines from Spiegler Performance Parts and left the RS cafe bars in place.
“Because I removed the fork brace so I could put a fatter tire on the front, I replaced the stock top fork plate with an aluminum triple clamp from Boxerworks (http://www.pipeburn.com/display/admin/Boxerworks.com) to keep the forks from twisting."

"When I decided to keep the cafe bars, I felt the need to get a nice rear set, which I picked up from Flatracer. I kept the stock pipes, wrapped them and capped them off with some sweet stainless steel reverse-cone shorties that I picked up from Dime City Cycles (http://www.dimecitycycles.com).”

“I had the tank painted flat black to match the wheels and slapped some new badges on it as well as a Monza gas cap from Flatracer.com (http://flatracer.com/). I cut down and narrowed the rear sub-frame to take the Nitroheads Bratstyle Thin Seat (http://pipeburn.com.au/collections/all) that I purchased from Pipeburn. And finally, I cut down and powder coated a steel rear fender and topped it off with an old school tail light from Dime City Cycles.”

1986 BMW R80RT - 'Bopper' (http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2012/12/5/1986-bmw-r80rt-bopper.html)
Wednesday, December 5, 2012
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/DSC_8655-Edit.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1354959613348
Australia has a tendency to claim things and people that are actually originally from our closest neighbours, New Zealand. For example, Russell Crowe and Keith Urban, who most people think are Australian are in fact both born in New Zealand. So when Michael Dobson sent us this radical R80RT build, part of the conditions were that we made sure our readers knew the bike was built in Australia New Zealand. Of course we reluctantly agreed.
Michael has one impressive resume, which includes being a motorcycle mechanic for 34 years, specialising in servicing and primarily building BMW police bikes for over 20 of those years. That in itself is impressive, but the list also includes a stint as a successful race mechanic in BEARS and production racing, a workshop foreman at Motorad (http://www.motorad.co.nz) and a "semi famous Ural pilot". So if there was one guy who we would choose to build us a custom Beemer, Michael is the perfect candidate.
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/DSC_8784-Edit.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1354605805219
Michael started the project with a 1986 NZ Police R80T which he helped assemble many years back. "It was one of 120 that a younger me helped assemble and deliver" he says. "After a disposal auction, passing through the hands of several friends and many miles, it became “my next project”. It is now an example of what happens “when good cops go bad”.
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/DSC_1077-Edit-2.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1354605883536
"Originally I intended to loosely follow the bobber style but having read far too many chopper magazines in the early 70's, I found it evolving into a mix of bobber and chopper which I have called “Bopper Style”." Michaels personal requirements for the bike were that it needed to have good brakes, lights, tires and mudguards with a comfortable riding position. "This I have achieved" he says.
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/DSC_8789-Edit.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1354605935834
"Throughout the two year part time build I have kept in mind the guiding words I read in Garage Magazine – “Respect the line, observe classic proportions and dammit, possess some taste”. Later I also discovered a quote from Collin Chapman – “Simplify then add lightness”. While my bike isn't especially light in weight, it is simple and I have added the illusion of lightness."
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/DSC_8734-Edit.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1354605980393
Mike has used many different BMW parts on this bike. The front wheel is a 21” BMW R80GS, and the rear wheel is actually a standard R80 mag with polished sheet aluminum discs glued on. The forks are from a R100CS with 2” over stanchions. Head light is from a R1200C and the handlebars (in garage shots) are from a K100RS which have been reversed and dropped forward. The frame is a standard R80 with sub frame and pillion peg hangers removed.
The bike also pays homage to the older BMW's, with HT leads coming out of the top of the engine, single (Ural) seat, old logo and classic black and white paint.
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/DSC_8695-Edit.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1354692814824
The engine has been fully rebuilt and fitted with Siebenrock 1000cc kit. Also adding Dellorto PHF 36mm Carbs. Speedo is a Motogadget chrono classic. The petrol tank is surprisingly from a Keeway Cruiser much modified by Kiwi Race Cars (http://www.kiwiracecars.com) who also ribbed the british rear mudguard. The exhaust is a one piece stainless by Cycleworks (http://www.cycleworks.co.nz) who also made the battery box and rear guard support. Airbox has been replaced by a custom cast alloy cover made by Ken Howe (http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=494860&page=2) conceals electrics. The tail light is a slash cut exhaust pipe with Hella trailer light attached. Lastly the metallic black paint job was by Todd Moffat and the beautiful hand pin striping and air brushed pre-war BMW logos were done by Kurt from Juniors Kustom Rides (http://www.juniorskustomrides.com).
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/DSC_1109-Edit-2.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1354745093650
Michael has done a sterling job turning this 1986 BMW into a timeless bobber cross chopper. It may have taken him two years to build this amazing bike part time, but usually it takes time to do it right. He tells us he has worked at a much faster pace building Beemers in the past. "In 1985 we once uncrated and assembled 90 BMW R80RT bikes in a week for the local NZ police" – now that is one productive week.

Scott Halbleib's BMW K100RT - “Number 3” (http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2012/10/27/scott-halbleibs-bmw-k100rt-number-3.html)

See that title up there? The one that starts with the name "Scott Halbleib"? There will two groups of people who read the line. The first, and probably by far the largest group, will be the readers who say, "who the hell is Scott Hal... Hal..." And then there will be those of you know who Scott is in the same way that you know that Dare Jennings is the guy behind Mambo and Deus Motorcycles, and that Ian Barry is the guy who owns Falcon Motorcycles. See, every bike that Scott has fashioned has been a jaw-to-the-floor, put me in a nice dress and call me Shirley world beater. In fact his first build, the Honda CB450 Bobber (http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2010/7/30/1971-honda-cb450-bobber.html) we featured in 2010 is one of my personal all-time favourites. Seriously. So when we heard from Doug Devine, owner and builder of the Yammie we posted last Wednesday that Scott had a new bike, we got our nice dresses on, picked our jaws up off the floor, and this is what we found...
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/27_10_2012_scott_halblieb_bmw_K100rt_01.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1351329503439
Here's Scott. “This one came out of left field. An acquaintance left a message that he was getting rid of his bikes and wondered if I'd be interested in his BMW that had been sitting in a garage for 6 years. Sure. Then I got it home. What the hell was I going to do with this mint green mammoth? I had to get it running first, which meant stripping it down a bit to swap out the battery, new cables, clean injectors, filter and swap fluids. A little trial and error and it was running perfectly.”
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/27_10_2012_scott_halblieb_bmw_K100rt_04.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1351329527227
“I thought about putting it back together and selling as a restore of sorts. But the challenge of trying to do something with it was keeping me awake at night. Plus the f@#cking thing was eating up all the space in my garage, so everything came off. Then I wondered if I had made a mistake. It didn't necessarily get any better looking. I spent a lot of weeks mocking things up with foam, hangers, cardboard, spare parts, etc. and this is the result - a tourer-enduro.”
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/27_10_2012_scott_halblieb_bmw_K100rt_05.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1351329544556
“The modifications include: low rise dirt bars, 7" headlight w/ aluminum brackets and rock guard, Kenda dual sport tires, Works performance shock, stripped tank, fork gaiters, painted wheels, fenders from the XS650, tailight from Low Brow and turn signals from British customs.”
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/27_10_2012_scott_halblieb_bmw_K100rt_06.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1351329568370
“The biggest challenge was creating a seat that fit the bulk of the bike. I spent some time carving foam until I had something I liked, then had my upholsterer, Mike Brewer stitch me up some 2 tone vinyl.”

and capable of riding cross-country”

“It's a beast. And looks the part. Best thing about it, is it's still vintage somewhat, but bulletproof and capable of riding cross-country with an aftermarket windscreen. I'm still looking at some exhaust options and waiting on some expanding aluminum to form some side panels. Hopefully get some seat time in it, post on Ebay, then move on to the next one.”

1984 BMW R65 Café Racer - “The Wasp” (http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2012/10/18/1984-bmw-r65-cafe-racer-the-wasp.html)

“Barn find,” they call them. And the ‘they’ in this case would be an American-dominated coalition of nations that do actually have barns. Which kind of leaves those in the world who don't actually have barns as part of their local bucolic repertoire kinda in the lurch, don't you think? Well, not being a nation of people who take these kind of things lying down, us Aussies refused to put up with second best and trumped the barn with a marvelous creation we call the “shed.” See, whereas a barn can contain many things that aren't even remotely cool (take the humble yet smelly cow) the average Aussie shed will always have something cool it it. It's the law in some states. Forget animals, ploughs, and nesting birds - sheds are much more likely to be inhabited with things like engine parts, bar fridges, welders and greasy tools. Oh, and BMW motorbikes, if Tony Botrall's find is anything to go by...
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/18_10_2012_bmw_r65_02.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1350564248975Never being one for rules, Tony decided to park his ride in the subway
Here's Tony. “It all started when someone said to me ‘Would you like my motorbike? It’s an old BMW, but it’s in pretty bad shape.’ What was I meant to say?
Immediately ‘café’ sprung to mind. Having seen some great bikes done like this, my mind started working overtime! Wanting a R series BMW was my goal, but the owner not being sure of exactly what the bike was, I was taking a bit of a gamble, sight unseen bike, not sure of model, but hey, doing up any bike will keep me out of trouble, even if only for a short amount of time!”
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/18_10_2012_bmw_r65_03.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1350548082026
“So after talking a mate with a trailer into coming and picking it up with me, I got myself a 1984 BMW R65, and yes, it was in pretty bad shape! Having been stored in a shed, on a coastal property for the last 8 years! If they made a paint colour ‘corrosion,’ then this bike looked like it had been painted with it... But still, it had plenty of potential. And wasps, thanks to the nests they had built on the bike. Once parked safely in the garage, it was time to start removing everything that didn’t need to be there.”
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/18_10_2012_bmw_r65_04.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1350564202151
“Rust and corrosion had certainly taken their toll on all of the alloy and metal parts. After a few treatments of sulphuric acid, the alloy started to look like alloy again, so it was out with the die grinder and wire wheel to make it all nice and shiny again. The wheels got the same treatment, then a coat of metallic silver.
The frame and associated parts were sand blasted, and rust treated, before being painted gloss black. The heads and a few covers on the motor got hit with gloss black engine enamel (after the wasp’s nests were cleaned out of the cooling fins!)
Not loving the shape of the R65 fuel tank, I tracked down a R100 tank, which I promptly purchased. A few mods needed to take place to fit it on, relocate electrics, another petcock, but all in all, it just simply looks better...”
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/18_10_2012_bmw_r65_05.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1350548153507The donor bike - we're guessing it's not the small, pink one
“A second hand set of ‘straight’ forks were found in America, but unfortunately, when they arrived, and after I had spent a few hours cleaning the legs up, discovered that they had been in an accident, bent, and some hairline cracks, so I had to refurbish the original ones. Some new fork tubes were sourced, and the rebuild began.
Final assembly happened pretty quickly, after replacing the Bing’s with Mikuni carbs, it also fired up straight away. After replacing a lot of wiring, nuts, bolts, bars, in fact, almost everything except the rolling chassis and drive train, it was rolled out of the garage.”

The guys from Spanish shop Café Racer Dreams (http://www.crdmotorcycles.com/) are truly making a name for themselves on a global scale. The garage was born out of a lack of vintage custom shops in Spain and founder Pedro Garcia hasn't looked back since opening its doors a few years ago. This is the first BMW to roll out of their small Madrid based garage and we love its stripped down simplicity. The bikes engine has been rebuilt with the expertise of Javier from Maxboxer (http://www.maxboxer.es/) who specialises in boxers. At this stage it's still a work in progress but we definitely like where they are going with this project. Pedro tells us it should be complete by the end of next month so we'll keep you posted. In the meantime there's a solid build thread worth checking out on the CRD blog (http://caferacerdreams.blogspot.com.es/search/label/CRD%2314%20%C2%A8The%20Challenge%C2%A8).

1980 BMW R80/7 Café Racer (http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2012/4/13/1980-bmw-r807-cafe-racer.html)

http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/14_04_2012_bmw_R80_06.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1334411129417Darkness. Sweet bike. Expensive camera. Empty lot. What could possibly go wrong?
Here's a encore bike from one Mark Byfield. He's an owner/builder that caused quite a stir with his first bike (http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2011/7/20/1985-bmw-r80-cafe-racer.html), an faired '85 R80 that would easily make our all-time top 10 list. This time he's shaken things up a bit and gone with, erm, another R80. But has he ended up in a similar place? Hells no - for here we see not a beautiful, bare-bones faired racer but instead a caffed-out daily rider with a padded seat, a toaster tank, and some very exxy-looking front brakes. Mark seems to have a knack for making a lot out of a little cash and a large, overflowing bucket of DIY skills. Don't you just hate him?
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/14_04_2012_bmw_R80_04.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1334365725202
Here's the man himself. "It's a 1980 R80/7 that i picked up from eBay. It was a good old touring rig with a big fairing and comfortable seat. Obviously things had to change."
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/14_04_2012_bmw_R80_10.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1334408951678
"It was stripped down and the wiring was sorted out with the inclusion of an Acewell instrument unit. Anything non essential was dropped off."

"Next was the bodywork which entails a toaster tank bought from the states, a CB500(?) seat and modified rear sub frame. The rear wheel was then changed out for a /5 spoked unit and the front wheel for a TZ 4LS brake with and flanged rim. Classic tyres finished off the wheels."

"The exhaust is stock apart from after market mufflers that give a nice loud burble. The controls consist of ace cafe bars and after market throttle and levers with alloy rear sets for the brakes and gears. Not particularly comfortable but makes for an engaging ride. It was a really fun build, except for the bit where I had to pay for the 4LS front wheel..."

When it comes to finding inspiration on building a custom motorcycle, most people search the internet, look in magazines or pray to a higher being to give them a brilliant idea. Not Rolf Reick from Germany. He was inspired by people telling him he couldn't do what he always wanted to do — build a BMW using an old frame and a new engine. "I guess the overall motivation was that people told me it just wasn't possible to build it like that" says Rolf. Rolf is a product designer and head of a private school for product design. Besides that he works as a freelance designer and also owns a clothing label called Krautmotors (http://www.krautmotors.de/). So between doing all those things we have no idea how he has time to build so many amazing bikes. Like this one-of-a-kind 'BMW Frankenstein' Street Tracker...
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/BMWV_pipeburn.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1328945746180
"I started modifying motorcycles about 30 years ago" says Rolf. "Without any focus on selling them, just for my own sake and fun. Somehow I tend to customize whatever I own. I built this one because I wanted to have a faster old BMW. Instead of tuning the old motor I simply put a newer model's motor into the frame. Anyhow, I disliked the new BMW models ever since because they keep getting higher and higher. To be honest I had BMW frames lying around and got hand on a cheap 4V GS. It was fun and didn't make any sense at all."
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/BMW4V_right.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1328945812575
So what actually makes up this BMW tracker I hear you ask? The frame is from a 1974 R75 - which Rolf just had lying around. The engine, swing arm and rear wheel are from a 1100R, and the gearbox is from a 1100GS. Front wheel and fork are off a 100GS. And the carburetors are from a R100 GS-PD. The only thing that isn't off some kind of Beemer is the fuel tank which comes from an old 1970 Honda Enduro.
One of the most eye-catching features of the bike is the unusual alternator placement. "I had to place it on the side because there was no room under the frame in the middle of the engine, so i cut the tank for the compressor look" Rolf tells us. "Also the gearbox housing had to be trimmed to fit into the frame. The fork had to be cut by 14 centimeters and the modern technical gimmicks like the anti-lock braking system and fuel injection got lost, somehow." And finally the paint job was done by Rolf with good old fashioned spray cans. The entire build took him around 4 months, working two days a week. Not bad when you consider the amount of work thats gone into it.
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/BMW_tracker_2shots.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1328953061686
Rolf's next project is designing the fairing for the Ducati bike for the racing team he is part of called Now Salt (http://www.nowsalt.de). The bike will run on the Bonneville salt race track in September attempting to break the record as the world's fastest Ducati. We wish him all the best and we'll keep you posted how he goes.
So we are only in February and I'm thinking this BMW tracker could be a contender for the Pipeburn Top 10 (http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2011/12/28/pipeburn-2011-top-11.html) bikes of the year. I guess we're about to find out by the comments below...

1983 BMW R65 "Veille École" (http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2011/8/8/1983-bmw-r65-veille-ecole.html)

Here's something you may or may not know, depending on your own, personal level of smart-ass-ed-ness. The current BMW logo has been developed over many generations of refinement to the point it's at today - the familiar circle divided into blue and white quadrants. But do you know where it started? Here's where; as a white spinning propellor against a blue sky. That's right, a propellor (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5P1WEEUninI/S99lKAZA-9I/AAAAAAAAAHU/KWq8n1uC2D8/s1600/bmw_logo_plane-1916.jpg). Motorcycles were essentially a sideline for the company after the treaty of Versailles banned Germany from making arms in 1918. Talk about making the best out of a poor lot. So almost 100 years later we find ourselves in Sydney with a Frenchman pondering just how to trick up his '83 R65. Then in a moment of divine inspiration, he realises exactly what he should do. Behold the world's first BMW motorbike decorated in the colours of the French Airforce. Vive la différence!
Can you introduce yourself ?
My name is Pierre Geromboux. I am currently living out my mid-life crisis in Sydney’s North West. I work in Medical sales.
What Kind of BMW is it?
The bike is a 1983 BMW R65. I have called her "Veille École" which means "Old School" in French. When I purchased the bike it had been sitting in a garage for 5 years. The owner had started with an engine rebuild but the project had stalled there. With the help of my good friend Andrew from Ramspeed we stripped the bike back, gave it a Radical Fenderectomy and resprayed everything. Powder coated the wheels black. Used two tone Gloss and Matt black on petrol tank. Fitted drop down bars, Pod airfilters, Twin headlights & LED indicators. Replaced original instrument display with digital Tacho & Speedometer. Custom cross stitched leather and suede seat. Carbon fiber covered battery (still weighs the same!). Wrapped pipes with new stainless steel slip-on trumpets. Graphics by Joey at Motographics. Next step bi-turbo!
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/07_08_2011_black_bmw_r65_07.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1312805305633
Did you do it all yourself?
I had a mechanic friend help me with fitting the drop down bars and I had to get electrical help when I took off the original instruments and was replacing the generator warning light. Even when we identified this as the problem for the battery not charging and completed the circuit with a resistor, it still would not work. The final solution was setting up a small LED generator warning light under the digital display. All the seals and bearings were replaced, as well as the carburetors rebuilt. The bike is now tuned to perfection and runs reliably.

What’s she like to ride?
I try to ride every weekend. I have done the Putty Road (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putty_Road) up to Singleton. All through the Blue Mountains (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Mountains_%28New_South_Wales%29). Down to the Royal National Park (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_National_Park) or sometimes just the coffee run up the Old Pacific Hwy. The beauty is in simplicity of the mechanics. There are no electronic management systems. You get feedback by using all your senses. Checking the oil by using a dipstick. Listen to the engine note and hear how she is running and when to change gears. Smell the oil when the engine gets to temperature and you know it is time to open the taps! The bike is very torquey and gets off the line well. It has quite short gearing and revs out quickly. Top speed is probably about 140khm? That’s what the speedo said anyway. I will try to get it on a Dyno at some stage.

What other bikes have you owned before?
My first bike was actually a scooter when I lived in Paris age 19. I will never forget coming around the Arc de Triomphe onto the Champs Ellysee with six lanes of chaos around me. I then had a Honda CB250 before lapsing into car ownership. I got back into bikes last year when I saw this old boxer engine needing to be brought back to life.

What is a Frenchman doing riding a German bike anyway?
Revenge for WWII.

Favourite BMW and other bikes?
My favourite BMW is easy - it's the 1934 BMW R7 (http://img.mechaguzzler.scm-cbn.sub.jp/20101022_712938.jpg). Otherwise I would be happy to park anything that appears in Pipeburn in my garage.

What’s your workshop like?
It's a pretty standard two-car garage, but with a bike instead of the second car. There's a quality socket set, a BMW tool set, some painting and polishing stuff - and I have a bike lift so I can get in and work under the bike.

1985 BMW R80 Café Racer (http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2011/7/20/1985-bmw-r80-cafe-racer.html)

As a hobby you've got admit that motorbikes are, all things considered, relatively cheap. It's heartening that in this day and age you can still rock on up to your local Ducati store and buy an Italian two-wheeled Ferrari for a lot less than US$20,000. In fact the advertised price for Ducati's top-of-the-line 1198 SP racer in North America is only a smidge under US$22,000. In the scheme of things, that's a silly small price. A 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia would cost you ten times that amount, and I doubt that any of us would be willing to choose a single car over 10 new bikes - let alone 40+ second hand or vintage bikes.
Which brings us rather neatly to this little gem, aka Mark Byfield's cafe'd 1985 BMW R80. With nothing but a bunch of hard work and a cash outlay of less than five Aussie grand, he's managed to create a bike that looks like a million bucks and which rocks our boat a lot more vigorously than any four-wheeled Italian poseur-mobile ever could.
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/20_07_2011_bmw_R80_cafe_racer_02.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1311167758323
Over to Mark. "I just had my 40th birthday. I work in the offshore oil industry, drilling exploration wells for various clients in various locations all over the world from our semi submersible drilling rig. It's usually pretty good fun and engaging. I've been riding bikes, both motorbikes and pushbikes, since I was about 4. I raced motocross and downhill mountain bikes up until about 3 years ago. Still ride a bit of enduro on my Husaberg 501; it's a great bike."
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/20_07_2011_bmw_R80_cafe_racer_05.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1311169157656Mark decided to customise the bike very soon after the exhausts fell off
"I got interested in building a bike a few months ago and always loved airhead beemers, and a cafe racer seemed like the perfect way to go. The bike started out as an ebay bargain 1985 R80. After I picked it up, I did the usual strip, clean and rattle can routine, giving the frame, wheels and swingarm the flat black treatment."
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/20_07_2011_bmw_R80_cafe_racer_03.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1311167903677
"As I wanted to fit the Ducati-style single seat, I had to cut down the subframe to fit the shorter seat unit. Not an easy task with my dodgy welding skills! I also sourced the cool ass /5 tank from ebay US and gave it a sand back, a new paint job and badges. The Ducati style fairing and rear sets came from Flatracer (http://flatracer.com/) in the UK. The fairing got a final clean-up and got the same paintjob as the seat and tank."
http://www.pipeburn.com/storage/20_07_2011_bmw_R80_cafe_racer_04.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1311169325181What is it that makes BMWs look so good in fairings?
"The only other real mods where the exhaust, which is a custom job welded up by me made up of assorted spare parts that were lying around, and removing everything that is not absolutely necessary. The final effort was a service and tune and I was off, It goes really well and is an absolute blast. Sounds like a tractor and goes like a train!"

Adam Kay from the U.K. was looking for a donor bike that he could customize and ride everyday – he calls it his 'midlife crisis' project. After a little bit of research he came across Victory Motorcycles in Camden London. Rex the owner specializes in BMWs and classic British iron. "Rex had a R80/7 for sale so that's what I got" said Adam. "The style of my custom came from looking at a racing Guzzi (http://www.bikeexif.com/moto-guzzi-ambassador-racer-2) I saw on Bike EXIF. I did all the work myself under the guidance of Rex and as I only had two days a week that I could dedicate to the job, it took me 8 months to customize the R80/7". Here's how Adam describes his 'midlife crisis project':
"I wanted a single seat, a long rear mudguard and a short chopped front mudguard like a bobber. I choose not to paint the tank after I had spent ages stripping off the old paint and filler after all that effort I didn't want to cover it up again with paint! I also wanted it to have no decals, because to me a boxer is clearly a BMW, so it doesn't need any info on the tank.
"I began with a total strip down to the frame. The frame had all parts that were not needed cut off. Battery box, plastic covers hooks, seat hinges and a few more bits. The frame, subframe, swinging arm, side stand, top yoke and wheels were powder coated in satin black. Most nuts, bolts and other chromed parts were re-plated in a dull chrome or were replaced with stainless steel parts. The brake system was replaced from an under the tank unit to a handlebar mounted reservoir system. A second brembo was added. 2 new stainless discs replaced the single steel disc and steel braided hoses are used. The engine and gearbox was painted with black heat resistant paint. New shorter and loud exhausts are used. Graphite impregnated exhaust wrap for the header pipes to give the bike a meaner look. New alloy rear mudguard cut to fit - original front mudguard cut to new size and shape painted matt black. Replaced the touring seat with a customized single scrambler seat. The tank was then stripped to the steel and hand sanded, then a clear coat of lacquer was used to seal it.
"I changed the R80/7 from what I thought could be seen as a rather dull machine to a thing of old school rebellion. I wanted a machine that could be ridden every day and one that looks as cool as any custom. I think this BMW does just that. I also wanted to challenge myself as I have never done anything like this before so this could be my "midlife crisis" project. I think I have done a great job on this motorcycle and have a commission to customize a R80/7 to look like mine. I’m also working on a new luxurious R80 custom which should be ready next year."
Adam is now working on his next project, a 'lux' R80 custom which we look forward to sharing with you when finished. You can see more build pics and info on his site Untitled Motorcycles (http://untitledmotorcycles.blogspot.com/).

1953 BMW R51/3 Cafe Racer (http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2010/11/2/1953-bmw-r513-cafe-racer.html)

Steven Whelan is an American living and working in Germany. Over the years he has amassed a motorcycle collection that Jay Leno would be envious of. Some of his bikes include a 1936 BMW R12, 1952 BMW R51/3, 1964 BMW R69S, 1950 Vincent Comet and a 1962 Triumph 6T Thunderbird that was restored as a copy of the Steve McQueen fence jumping German bike from the film "The Great Escape".
So when he decided it was time for a new project, Steven had his mind set on building a Rocker-styled cafe racer, inspired by the 1939 Supercharged Schorsch Meier BMW Type 255 (http://www.bmwmc.dk/images/Walls_3/BMW%20komp%20type%20255%201939%20text.jpg) which won the 1939 Isle of Man TT. "I found a complete 1953 R51/3 and started the project by finding an aluminium specialist in Germany that had already made pre-war racer style aluminium tanks and mudguards" says Steven. The frame was then modified by welding anti-flex reinforcement and adding a pre-war style 2-spring seat. A replica "Rennbrotchen" seat extention was added allowing the rider to flatten out while driving. After searching many biker flea markets and through contacts, Steven was able to find several unsual and rare racing parts from the 1950's and 60's. I will let Steve tell you about all the specs and mods: "The wheel hubs are original Hoske racing full-width hubs; a Rausch headlight sporting a peaked Hella chromed rim holds both the 3" speedometer, tach and 700cc Keyser cylinders with modified heads replaced the original BMW 500's. Added to the engine were two Mikuni VM 28mm carbs with replaceable K&N filters or polished inlet tubes, & replica Hoske racing exhausts. The gearbox had the original air cleaner mount machined off to resemble the pre-war machines and was re-built using 4-speed racing gears. The front fork is a 1960's Ceriani that was originally sold in the 60's as a replacement for the BMW /2 series Earl's Fork, but was shortened to retain the original R51s wheelbase. Handlebars and mirrors are from a R75/5, tail light is a Miller/Vincent replica and a modern fly screen was fitted. The silver mudguards with black tank & hand pinstriping was used to give a more Rocker look & feel to the bike. Lastly the classic Avon Speedmaster Tires were fitted to the aluminum rims."
As far as vintage racers go, they don't get much cleaner than this. The attention to detail is superb and apparently, so is the handling. Steve tells us he is still breaking this beautiful Beemer in, but did "reach 70 MPH in one burst, and on curving roads the bike handles superbly."

This awe-inspiring Rodney Aguiar custom BMW R80ST recently appeared at the Cycle World Motorcycle Show. Rodney is known for his work with Roland Sands and is also the builder of one of last years most spectacular bikes, the 1983 R80 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/49266707@N06/4594654757/) Bobber. Rodney has really shown his fabrication skills on his latest BMW R80ST, custom building both frame and the "futuristic" sheet metal tank which fits snug over the almost stock 798cc airhead engine. The forks were taken from a Suzuki GSX R750 and the rear single sided swingarm is from a BMW R1100 Paralever. The exhaust is filtered through a set of FMF Suzuki RM 250 Silencers. The absence of a rear fender isn't very practical but the illusion it creates of a floating wheel is magic. If you think this bike is creative you should check out Rodney's website Propulsion Lab.

Wrenchmonkees #9 - BMW R65/7 (http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2009/12/7/wrenchmonkees-9-bmw-r657.html)
Monday, December 7, 2009
The BMW R65 is personally one of my favourite BMW motorcycles. It was BMW's answer to the new generation of Japanese bikes hitting the market in the late 70's. Built shorter and smaller to compete with these Japanese light and middleweight street bikes flooding the markets. Now 30 years later it's great to see the Wrenchmonkees (WM) work their magic on this German icon. Firstly by placing a R80 engine in the R65 frame, adding Gazi Gas rear shocks and many custom WM features like their megatron muffler, and a no-nonsense monkee seat. The old-school Firestone Deluxe Champion tires are the final icing on the cake. Not sure whether the debadging of the BMW logo is an anti-establishment statement or just WM claiming complete ownership of their creation. Whatever the case, it just works. For more pics of this uber cool bike, visit the Monkee #09 gallery. (http://www.wrenchmonkees.com/monkee09.html)

Richard from Sweden's Richard Garage (http://www.richardsgarage.se/) is an amazing BMW motorcycle restorer. We all love before and after shots, and this is one of the best I've seen. The 1952 BMW R25/2 motorcycle, was found in a garden where it had stood for 42 years, only covered with a oil cloth. That's Richard standing with the bike when he found it. The stunning white BMW motorcycle is what he turned it into after lots of hard work. Respect.

Θέλω να ελπίζω ότι το μοντέλο CAFE RACER που ετοιμάζεται να βγάλει η BMW φέτος να μοιάζει με αυτές τις πανέμορφες μοτοσυκλέτες που είδαμε παραπάνω. Μακάρι. Από τα λίγα που έχω μάθει θα είναι πανέμορφη με αχτίνες, το προηγούμενο μοτέρ, 200άρι πίσω λάστιχο και θα υπάρχει και κιτ να την κάνεις μονόσελο με εξατμίσεις κάτω από την σέλα . Υπολογίζεται ότι θα εμφανιστεί στην έκθεση του Μιλάνου.
BMW R80ST by Fuel
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bmw-r80st.jpg
Fuel Bespoke Motorcycles is not the most prolific of Spain’s custom workshops, but their creations are always worth keeping an eye out for. This is the latest, based on a 1984 BMW R80ST.
Called the Fuel R80 STrial, it’s inspired by ISDT bikes—the Triumphs, BSAs and Pentons of the 1960s that competed in the International Six Days Trials. “Light bikes with small headlights, flat handlebars, a minimalist seat and off-road tires,” says Fuel (http://www.fuelmotorcycles.eu/) main man and BMW Motorrad enthusiast Karles Vives. “Motorcycles that were capable of riding trails and woods for days.”
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bmw-r80st-1.jpg
The R80ST was commissioned by a classic bike enthusiast who lives in the Austrian Alps and wanted an upgrade to both aesthetics and performance. So Fuel’s engineer Hilario and mechanics Isaac and Jose set to work. The forks are now from a BMW K75 Sport, mated to a custom axle and newly fabricated triple trees. The front brakes were upgraded too, with a 320mm disc, a four-piston Brembo caliper and a Nissin master cylinder.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bmw-r80st-4.jpg
The rear has been entrusted to a Wilbers shock with multiple adjustments. Fuel also switched the exhaust to a custom 2-into-2 system, raising the angle of the mufflers. The rear subframe has been redesigned to create a shorter and slimmer profile, and to strengthen the bike for off-road use.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bmw-r80st-3.jpg
The headlight is now from a classic Spanish trials bike, mounted on a custom bracket. It sits ahead of a Motogadget speedometer, Tomaselli bars fitted with the switchgear from an old Triumph, and classic enduro grips. A car-type starter motor has been installed to fire up the engine.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bmw-r80st-2.jpg
The tank is from a Kawasaki KZ750, with an ingenious addition to one side: A vintage Ural suicide shift (above) has been converted to a choke mechanism for warming up the engine when cold.
As with all Fuel bikes, the fit and finish is absolutely immaculate. Although this R80ST rolled out of the showroom nearly thirty ago, it looks like it left the factory yesterday.
Today, Karles and the Fuel crew are heading south for ‘Scram Africa’—a trip of more than 2,000 kilometers for classic trail bikes and resto-mod customs, to Morocco and beyond. So it’s no surprise that the R80ST has already been ridden in anger—and there are photos (https://plus.google.com/b/101554244823678290874/101554244823678290874/posts/R3zQSJAPHKc) to prove it.

Blitz BMW R100RT ‘La Parisienne’
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bmw-r100rt.jpg
If you visited the BMW Museum in Munich a few months ago, you might have noticed an interloper: a brawny custom with a Yamaha XT500 tank. Sharing space with a BMW concept car and an immaculate 1982 R100 RT, the custom looked like a pit bull amongst immaculately coiffed poodles.
The juxtaposition was not as incongruous as it seemed, though. The ‘Yamaha’ was actually a BMW R100 RT, just like its neighbor on the stand, albeit in disguise. It was built by the controversial French workshop Blitz Motorcycles (http://blitz-motorcycles.com) and is called ‘La Parisienne.’

Confused onlookers who failed to recognize the bike can be excused—this R100 has been customized almost beyond recognition. The rear frame is completely new, and fitted with a bespoke seat and a mono shock. The frame and forks have been powdercoated in dark gray, and the engine, bars (from an R100 RS) and wheels powdercoated in a sinister black.

The bike has also been rewired with simplified electrics; a compact li-ion battery now hides in a box under the transmission. Mini switches control the blinkers and the digital speedometer display, and the engine start button is screwed into the bracket of the front brake lever. The levers (shortened) and brake master cylinder are from a Yamaha R1.

Vintage-style lights add a retro touch, along with 18” Coker rubber. The carbs sport handcrafted intakes and the shorty muffler is painted a high-temperature black on the outside and red on the inside. And yes, the tank really is from vintage Yamaha XT500 enduro—mounted on the frame exactly as it was found.

The effect is brutal and even disorientating. But it still caught the eye of the BMW museum curators. Maybe the Teutonic purveyors of motorcycling efficiency do have a sense of humor after all.
Head over to the Blitz website (http://blitz-motorcycles.com) to see more of Fred Jourden and Hugo Jezegabel’s builds. And follow the news from the 17th arrondissement via the Blitz Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Blitz.Motorcycles).

BMW R100S by Deus
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bmw-r100s.jpg
You don’t see many 1970s BMW R-series customs in the USA. But this very sharp R100S cafe racer should prompt a few searches for old airheads on eBay. It’s set for launch at The One Motorcycle Show in Austin this weekend, and was built by Michael Woolaway, motorcycle design director at Deus USA (http://us.deuscustoms.com).
The R100S was one of BMW’s more sporting bikes, with a quarter-mile time of just under 13 seconds. The ‘S’ designation meant you also got a small fairing, twin discs at the front, lower bars and a racier seat. But it was still a long-haul bike built for the autobahn.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bmw-r100s-1.jpg
That’s something Woolie set out to change. “I wanted to build something that didn’t look much like a BMW,” says Woolie. “I tried to style it a bit older than an R100S.”
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bmw-r100s-2.jpg
It’s a ground-up rebuild, starting with the frame. Woolie removed the brackets and the sub-frame and its mounts, and then fabricated a new chromoly sub-frame. More fabrication quickly followed: the tank, seat, fenders, foot controls and rear sets are all made by hand.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bmw-r100s-3.jpg
Up front, Öhlins forks have been shortened and re-valved by Ed Sorbo at Lindemann Engineering. Pierre Vallaincourt at Works Performance engineered the rear suspension. The battery is now hidden under the seat, protected by a heat shield rated to 1200 degrees. And the mirrors, handlebars and bar mounts are all top-shelf components from Rizoma.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bmw-r100s-4.jpg
The riding position is more aggressive than the stock R100S, but still practical. “It’s got a big tank and you’re all stretched out, so you really feel like you’re tucked in behind it,” says Woolie. “It’s a fun bike and a bit faster than I actually expected.”
If you can’t make it to The One Motorcycle Show (http://the1moto.com), head over to the Deus USA website (http://us.deuscustoms.com/motorcycle/deus-bmw-r100s-2/) to examine the BMW in more detail.

BMW R75/6 by Kingston Customs
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bmw-r75.jpg
Custom motorcycle builders in the USA and UK have relatively few restrictions on what they can and cannot do. Then you have countries like Taiwan and Germany, which force builders to abide by draconian regulations.
German bikes require approval from the TÜV authority—which ensures a high quality of work, but also adds complications for the builder. (And is one reason that the new wave custom scene in Germany has lagged behind other countries.) But there are a handful of German builders who are able to work within the restrictions, and get their bikes road-legal. One of those builders is Dirk Oehlerking, the founder of Kingston Custom (http://www.kingston-custom.de) and creator of this surprisingly radical BMW R75/6.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bmw-r75-1.jpg
Oehlerking is an accomplished mechanic with a long history of wrenching on and racing bikes. (He was a German national enduro champion in 1985). He’s been operating Kingston Custom since 2010, creating a stream of mild-to-wild customs across several genres.
This R75/6 is a new approach for Oehlerking, though. “I wanted to build an old-school BMW with character,” he says, “using elements of the bobber and Brat styles.” Inspiration started with the tank, which comes from a 50 cc Yamaha ‘Mokick’ and adds an unusually svelte touch for a vintage BMW. The original front fender has been swapped to the rear.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bmw-r75-2.jpg
Oehlerking has stripped down and completely rebuilt the motor, finishing it off with glass bead blasting for a factory-fresh finish. It’s now hooked up to a Norton-inspired exhaust system with a reverse cone muffler. The wheels are also bead blasted, and have been fitted with new Metzeler rubber—19” at the front, and 18” at the back.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bmw-r75-4.jpg
In keeping with the low, bobber-style stance, the R75’s forks have been shortened by 88mm (3½ inches). The back end is suspended by a pair of authentic Sachs Hydro Cross shocks, a type popular with vintage dirtbike riders. The battery is now hidden next to the transmission in a custom made box, and the foot controls are aluminum.
http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bmw-r75-3.jpg
It’s one of the more unusual customs we’ve seen lately, with an original style and high-quality fabrication. For an insight into Oehlerking’s work and his background, check out this recent interview on Bubblevisor (http://bubblevisor.blogspot.com/2013/04/bubble-interview-with-dirk-oehlerking.html).
