A BMW.

would not be my first choice of motorcycle,

 to make into a cafe racer,

 but as Matiz Lemark of Belarusian shop Recast Moto says, “The simple and reliable design of the boxer engine makes it a good donor that will run for many years”,

  “The client wanted a motorcycle for the city, something that can do short trips with the ability to take a pillion,” Matiz commented,

 the doner motorcycle was a 1976 BMW R100, 

 with a mini front mudguard it looks all tyre from the font,

 they built their own clip-ons and controls, a gas tank cap and a new exhaust system,

but it’s the paint that really sets the R100RS apart, “It was decided at the very last moment, it’s a pleasant velvety dark blue acrylic under matte varnish, and we think it looks decent,”

to finish the motorcycle off, Matiz chopped the rear frame, adding a seat with a cowl that can be removed without turning a single screw, what a neat cafe racer, I just hope the client appreciates all of the work that went into it, you can follow the crew on Instagram.
