Ron Wood BMW F 800
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. 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.” Via Cycle World.

BMW R75/5
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 bought this 1972 ‘toaster’ (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 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 condenser and Hepco & Becker 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 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
This 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 is always worth checking, along with the portfolio of tastefully tweaked Euro custom bikes.

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!! Ya tenemos toda la parte ciclo completa. A falta del eléctrico, se puede decir que la moto de Pepe está terminada!! Aquí unas fotos para abrir boca de la futura sesión profesional. Last edited by xurxes; 19-04-2013 at 11:41. |

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. 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 por estas magnífica sesión de fotos.

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 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. 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. 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 Kevils B-MondaSeems 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. 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. …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. |

Kevils Kevils BlackJack R80Down 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”. 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! See more from Kevils here on The Bike Shed, or head over to their Wesbite for the lowdown on how you can get your own one of these lovely Beemers. |

Kevils Kevils R80 HuskyObviously 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 decided to nickname this latest R80 build “Husky” 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. 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.
