BMW R series bikes have always been a source of inspiration, but it is easy to slip into the obvious, because they have been done every which way.

The difference lies in getting the proportions and the details right.

This bobber stays essential and clean, keeping all the character of the BMWs of its time.

Chapter 02 — Full black

Black,
white belly

A classic full black colour scheme with the white belly of its original tank.

The front end is left bare, with just a large LED headlight, minimal digital instruments and a wide, high handlebar for a comfortable ride.

Chapter 03 — The subframe

Minimal
and comfortable

A minimal subframe holds the single seat, the small rear light and the tiny side indicators, which you notice only when they are on.

New gas shocks slightly raise the “rear end” and redefine comfort on the road.

Knobby tyres, because it is so light it can go anywhere, even where the road ends.
