Bike Of The Day: 1991 BMW K75 – Custom Cafe Racer

[admin]

This customized motorcycle was created by The Old Boys Motorcycle Workshop using a standard K75 that had been left unused for a period of time. The workshop utilized a GSXR 1000 K6 front end in the build, which required a complete dismantling of the bike down to the frame. The frame itself was redesigned and rebuilt, along with the installation of a new front fork and rear suspension setup.



The GSXR front end was affixed with a custom stem, billet clip-on bars, and CNC levers, while the rear suspension was replaced with a billet linkage from Cafe4racer. The original Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection system was removed in favor of triple Mikuni Slingshot carburetors and bespoke manifolds.



The motorcycle also boasts a completely unique hand-built 3 to 1 to 3 stainless steel exhaust system, giving it a modern racing aesthetic and a distinct sound. The bike is equipped with a 75 horsepower 750cc straight-three engine and a five-speed transmission.

Has anyone ever built a real deal custom 700/750? I'm not talking about painted plastic panels, but has anyone stripped one down to its skivvies for the naked look, dressed it up in vintage Honda tank and body pieces, or tried to mod the look of the bike drastically? Just curious...

I have removed all the Tupperware, but never added anything back.
