We love Jens vom Brauck’s work. The man behind Cologne-based JvB-Moto has a pair of the sharpest eyes in the business, and a knack for stylish yet functional design. But things on the JvB-Moto front have been eerily quiet of late.
It turns out that Jens has been working on something very special indeed: a slimline BMW R nineT Scrambler with killer styling and paint.

It’s the first time BMW Motorrad and JvB-Moto have worked together, and it’s also the first officially sanctioned R nineT Scrambler build. And what a debut it is?the Scrambler now cuts a radically different line, but still looks like it would be immense fun to ride.
?Jens remodeled the Scrambler completely according to his own design conceptions, so the result is a totally new look,? says Ola Stenegärd, Head of Vehicle Design at BMW Motorrad.
