Custom Bikes Of The Week: 7 July, 2019
We’ve got two very different track bikes on offer this week: a modern BMW endurance racer, and a Ducati 999 from XTR Pepo. Plus a XSR700 rally edition by Deus, sexy bolt-on upgrades for the R nineT from Hookie Co., and a simple but stylish short film from Age of Glory.
BMW S1000RR by Crazy Garage Modern superbikes are technological marvels that would run rings around the racers of yesteryear. But visually, most leave us cold. Here’s one solution: a 199 hp BMW S1000RR redressed as an 80s endurance racer.
It’s the work of Crazy Garage in Korea, and was built for a customer that wanted yesterday’s looks with today’s performance. And it’s no show pony either?it’s actually the client’s track day bike. So it already had forged wheels, Brembo brakes, Bitubo suspension and a Rapid Bike EVO installed.
That left Crazy Garage to focus on cosmetics. On went a custom fairing, bellypan and tail section, all made from fiber reinforced plastic. The S1000RR’s tank remained, but it shed some of its plastic cover panels.
The front end is just perfect, with an offset headlight and perforation, and there’s a single tail light embedded out back. This RR also features some carbon protective bits, a few hop up parts and a Racefit exhaust mounted on a custom hanger. The livery’s a play on BMW’s motorsport colors, swapping red for orange. [More]
