Being young doesn't mean one shouldn't love older bikes. And taking a look at Dutch builder Roel Scheffers, we understand how true the first sentence is. A CAD/CAE engineer with a passion for building his own rides, Roel (28) bought an old BMW K100RS for €500 ($670) and had a dream.
He thought of creating something way different out of the old K100RS, especially as this specific model was not such a popular choice as a base bike for customizers and builders. So on he went, as the bike was actually in pretty good condition, despite being untouched for 5 years. A good push and the 70,000 km (43,500 miles) bike started.
Specifications:
Reworking the subframe and seat and fitting in Koni shocks need to whole frame to go lower. So Roel simply moved the fork ends a bit higher through the clamp (4 cm). New bars and digital instrumentation were also fitted, and the Kustombart did the painting.
With around €3,000 ($4,000 )spent on updating the old BMW and some fine engine dyno tuning, Roel Scheffers and his all-new street beast will be ready for some serious asphalt aggression when spring comes to Europe.
