A few bikes are so “right” from the start that it’s nearly not possible to personalize them. And one such device is BMW’s R100RS. This beautiful resto-mod comes from urban Motor of Berlin; it’s referred to as “Werkstattrenner” and it’s a 1977 model motorbike, which changed into the first 12 months for BMW’s flagship.
The boxer twin motor, just beneath a liter in length, puts out 70hp—plenty enough for actual global riding on a conventional gadget. So city Motor has centered extra on healing than customizing. The biggest change is the elimination of the fairing, which has not elderly nicely with the passing years. Greater subtle upgrades include a k&N air consumption and a complete custom exhaust. The rims are new and the tires have been upgraded to
Metzeler best ME 77s, a traditional tread pattern designed for medium potential bikes. An earlier tank with knee pads and a solo seat have also been unfashionable-outfitted.
