Hook was born from the desire to lay bare all the strength and character of the BMW R1150R Rockster, a bike with muscular lines and imposing mechanics, dominated by its unmistakable boxer engine.
I wanted to turn it into an essential and aggressive streetfighter/scrambler, freeing it from everything I considered superfluous, without giving up its original soul.
Chapter 02 — The rear end
A floating
seat
The work began at the rear, completely redesigned and lightened to make room for a floating seat, handcrafted and covered in top quality leather.
A solution that finally leaves the large rear wheel and the distinctive BMW single-sided swingarm in full view, elements that deserved to be shown in all their beauty.
Chapter 03 — The boxer
The real
star
The star, however, is still the mighty twin-cylinder boxer.
I removed the plastic bodywork and the original air ducts to give it back all its stage presence, repainting and finishing it with care until it became an integral part of the bike's look.
Chapter 04 — The front
Direct
and aggressive
The front end has also completely changed its face, with a redesigned headlight, minimal instruments and a new handlebar that gives the Rockster a more direct and aggressive riding position.
For the finishes I chose to play with the contrasts between brushed metal, painted surfaces and dark details, looking for a balance that brings out the industrial, mechanical character of this warrior.
Chapter 05 — The success
Celebrated
worldwide
A transformation that met with great international success, to the point of being celebrated and shared even on BMW Motorrad's official worldwide channels.
Hook has thus become a no-frills bike, made of muscle, metal and clean lines, where every element has its place and nothing is left to chance.
