Thanks to cylinders that were angled up 5 degrees for additional ground clearance, as well as a 10 speed gearbox, the claim was almost possible.

1980 BMW R80 Cafe Racer

In Cafe Racer, Germany by AbhiLeave a Comment

This bike started as a BMW R80, but recently received a full frame off restoration during which it got a 1,000cc engine (thanks to a Siebenrock Power Kit), various upgrades, and a lovely front fairing – it kills me that there’s no picture of this bike from the front. With parts from Boxer Metal, Motogadget, and Tomaselli, this bike looks …

Custom Dual-Sporter – 2010 BMW F800GS

In Dual-Sport, Germany by AbhiLeave a Comment

Many people consider the “middle”weight F800GS to be an even better off-roader than the classic R12 – and this bike has been heavily modified by the original owner to really have some fun getting dirty. Extras include (but are definitely not limited to) the rally fairing, Garmin GPS, Sargent seat, protection everywhere…and pretty much everything else. It doesn’t hurt that …

101 Miles – 1956 Zundapp 200S Challenger

In Germany, Standard by Abhi1 Comment

Zundapp was a German firm that eventually sold out to a Chinese firm in 1985. But before that, they built plenty of motorcycles that were often “first bikes” for teenagers. Unfortunately, they had plenty of electrical issues and struggled to compete with the Japanese. Nevertheless, one of their 200cc models was the Challenger, a 12 horsepower 2-stroke that was good …

2004 BMW R1100S Boxer Cup Replika

In Germany, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

Post Sale Update: After 12 bids on eBay, this BMW sold for $6,500. Before BMW took the motorcycling world by storm with the S1000RR, their idea of a sportbike was to put aggressive bodywork around the trusted boxer engine to create the BMW R1100S. I don’t mean to sound demeaning with that, as I owned a R11S for a while …
