100% finished project. Very nice job 😀
Exceptional. no more words.
Another wonderful video..THANKS!!
La migliore in assoluto, ne ho viste migliaia, ma questa è un capolavoro di alta ingegneria e gusto!
Well done...
All bikes are speaking their own beautiful language, in design and engineering!
That makes motorcycles so interesting for me! I love how shapes, different materials and philosophies together to form more than just "two wheeled" vehicle!
Love cafe racer
Nice job on the video, as always!
This flat black K series is the best looking i've ever seen- and your videos are always first class. Thank you!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it so much my friend. :) Cheers.
This K Series is a very beautiful project. The builder has solved the dilemma! This K100 is beautiful! Very nice. And, as always, thank you for Racer TV, the Café racers only choice! Hope you are well and riding Frankenstein! Ride safe my friend, cheers!
Thank you my dear friend for sharing your perspective. I also hope evrything is ok with you. Yes, my Frankenstein in excelent shape. :) Cheers.
Love the looks and sound of that bike , Awesome design 👌
I have never been a fan of the "flying brick" engined K75/100 Beemers but this bike changes my mind. Nice build for sure.
You've said it all. Same here. 👍
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TV How much is it?

That is one sexy BMW. Always liked the K series builds.
The way it transformed really amazed me. Really such a beautiful work. Both k100 and K75 are unique in their own way. Nice informative video as always. 👍
Production of your videos is excellent! The transitional elements are fantastic! Thank you for making Racer TV. And as always, I WILL see you next week.
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Thanks for sharing another great video and I have to say picking up on the seat detail in terms of the tank design takes a keen eye and makes this bike look very good.
Thanks 👌
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Excelente trabajo ! La estética de el canal y las motos que se presentan es magnífica. Tengo una K 100 1985 , soy fanático del modelo.
I'm in love with this bike
Magnífico trabalho.
Um dos motores de motocicletas mais lindos que existem!
Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.
That was the very best presentation of a motorbike I ever saw. Thank you very much, I learned a lot of design. Now I see the bike with different eyes.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Good job 🛠️
Racer you're Info is a class above the rest Thanks.
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
Seus videos são uma aula de construção de uma Cafe Racer, esta ""aula que deu para a BMW K100""foi fantástica. Your videos are a lesson in building a Cafe Racer, this "" lesson you gave to the BMW K100 "" was fantastic. Obrigado Race TV
Obrigado amigo pelo simpático comentário. :) Um abraço.
Juste magnifique machine..
Saudades dos Encontros de Motos no Brasil......2020 não está sendo fácil, mas tudo ficará bem 👍.
Projeto muito agradável k100.......

These gentlemen are gods amongst men in the café bike World for bringing the k bike into the fold! It will probably only be later in history that we look back and see the significance of what these men are doing...
It's looks beautiful in many ways
And I really attracted that helmet
Yes,me too..) Does anyone have Information about that helmet?
Proper job! As we say..
As always a excelente video, ser keep up the good work
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Lovely😁
Amazing bike and amazing video too!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Nice bike
I'm on my second. This one is a mint K75 S in Paris/Dakar yellow. My son rides a 1982 R65. Love them both
great Custom Job 👍 👍 👍 and great Video as well... 👍 👍 👍
First, love your featured bikes. What is nice about this build is that anyone that has a K75 or K100 can get the parts to duplicate this TH-cam build. Just wish other builders were that market savvy!
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Elegant design & smart approach 👍
We missed you Mr racer
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Amazing motorbike
Good Job Amigos!!! Спасибо большое за видео, очень познавательно, просто Топ-чик!!! ✌🧐🤜🤛😉👍
Nice video Racer, as always. Two Wheels Empire have done a great job with the flying brick . I was never a fan of them, but as a cafe racer I have changed my mind. Ride safe mate, take care. Cheers
Thank you. I'm glad you liked this one my friend. You too. Thank you :) Cheers.
Beautiful Bike
Excellent bike, excellent vid. I love the way you show fittings with photoshop so it is so easy to understand and accept changes. Thank you 😁 👍
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
*Uau! como sempre um lindo e bem feito projeto e para minha alegria BMW sem as orelhas no motor.* E como sempre: - Até o próximo video.
Lool. Como é bom haver um motor BMW "Surdo". He he he. Obrigado amigo Fernando por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.
@@RACER_TV LOL....
Really nice bike, but not a café racer according to me. Great channel! Im happy you continued 🏍
Great vid
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Damnnn 😍😍😍
Love from kerala 🇮🇳❣️
"WELCOME.... TO RACE A TV"
Loving U bro.
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Nice👍
Now I've got to build one
Thanks Jarvis
Youuuu Arrrrrr Welcoooooome. Lol.
When in production I did not like the K-series. It changed completely in the last three years or so, now I really like the unique engine layout.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Old V twin guy here....but this bike sure makes a lovely beast out of an ugly duckling.....
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
THIS is the INFO!
Awesome, can you do a video about the Honda GL500 silverwing by Wrench Kings
Ya that's a difficult one to customizes, but there is one going around Galway City Ireland that's pretty sweet. It's across between a mean looking Rat and a Cafe. It's a beast of a machine. Only saw it standing never heard it run.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Another fine example of what talented people like Matas can accomplish when the not so obvious is demonstrated. Your Photo Shop demo's of this project is outstanding. Your presentation and marketing skills could land you Head of Marketing in any one of the big motorcycling manufacturing positions if you keep out doing yourself every new Racer TV episode for much longer Dr. Frankenstein. Will you be riding your XS650 on Sept 27 for the 2020 DGR? Hope so.
A side note. Just looked at Two Wheels Empire website and they have some nice bikes for sale at reasonable prices.
Thank you my friend for all your kind words. I appreciate your support. Unfortunately, the Yamaha XS650 project is still far from being finished. But i also have some doubts that the 2020 DGR is going to happen this year due to the Covid restrictions. Yes, "Two Wheels Empire" bikes have reasonable prices. :) Cheers.
Thank you for the kind words! humbled
I'm a sportbike guy, but these right here are some cool ass bikes. Would love to build one in the future.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. Although your perspective may "not be real". Lol. Just by curiosity, why did you choose "I am not real" for your youtube name? Quantum physics perhaps? :)
@@RACER_TV
It's just a philosophy thing.
:) Yes, I understand. But if you investigate what an Atom really is, you will be amazed by discovering that what you said, is very close to the truth. :) Cheers.
Gostei muito da solução! Mesmo que seja para a K100 - Sei quem teve uma! kkkk Já é um ponto de partida para outras motos com o mesmo problema!! Até a semana que vem!
Lol. Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.
Um ã simples mas muito eficaz
Lol. Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.
Gostei q seus videos estão mais técnicos, assim até nós podemos achar inspirações para nossas construções. Nao uma k100 lógico (rarissima no Brasil) mas motos em geral. Parabéns pelos videos!!!!!!!
Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. Na realidade, em quase todos os meus videos tento deixar uma dica ou um ou outro conselho para quem quer construir o seu próprio projecto. E quando não é assim, pelo menos tento mostrar os projectos mais originais que podem ser uma fonte de inspiração para todos os Entusiastas das Cafe Racers :) Um abraço.
Racer Tv te perdiste mucho tiempo!!!
Not bad at all but still in love with the cx
Lol. Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
Can we get a 10minute ride on that , the sound of that straight 4 ? Was beautiful. .
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Ótimo vídeo como sempre. Sobre o banco, gostei muito da solução em fibra e na parte traseira. Penso que poderia ter sido feito um esforço maior para alinhar a frente do banco com o tanque. Todas as linhas naquele ponto, bem importante por sinal, são desalinhadas. Mas o projeto em si é bem agressivo, por ser um série K. É difícil transformar um tranquilo elefante numa tigre. Abraços.
Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. Tem toda a razão. Eu mesmo quase cheguei a colocar uma frase sobre esse desalinhamento com o depósito. Mas para ser sincero, a traseira(rabeta) fica tão bem nesta moto, que até consigo esquecer esse pormenor junto do depósito de gasolina. :) Um abraço.
I was also very surprised to see this misalignment or missed opportunity. If Matas had lifted the front of the tank 3 to 4cm, it might have made all the difference in the world to this eye sore.
As always Victor,
you have selected an aestheticly beautiful piece of rolling artwork !
Yep !
This K100's designers have hit yet another home run !
However,
I am not quite sure what I am hearing on the rpm run-up as it approaches it's power band.
It sounds to be breaking up a bit, I'm not quite sure is it is an ignition issue, or carburetion issue,
is this bike not fuel injected Victor ?
I guess this comes down to the arguments about today's
Café Racers, style or performance !
My personal belief is the answer is definitely BOTH !
So I am hoping that I am not sounding overly critical of the project Victor,
I know, at this point, the topic is about the critical styling of the balance of the rear faring, fuel tank, and front fork assembly.
On that topic alone,
like I said earlier,
they have a home run !
Hello my friend. Thank you for sharing your perspective. I think this K100 engine is a fuel injection version. About the engine sound of the engine, I am not sure, but it could be a bad calibrated air mixture in one of the cylinders. :) Cheers.
Hi can be use in a BMW k1100 ?? Saludos desde Chile amigos !!
That seat is actually made by twisted brothers
Yes, just like it is written on the Two Wheels Empire website. But Two Wheels Empire is selling it with the foam seat. :) Cheers.
I had an ex-police one of these, it had 170,000 miles on it and I customised it as a mad max style survival bike...ironically it got stolen!!
Good bike, but engine lacked character for me. Nice job on this one, Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Good afternoon, I'm a follower of your channel, I think it's great how you live the world of Cafe Racer, but I would like to ask you, if possible, to add subtitles in Spanish, since I use the ones you have in Portuguese, but I would love to be able to understand everything you explain about these wonderful motorcycles that appear in your videos, thank you very much
Thank you my friend for your sugestion. Unfortunately, I can't do it. First of all, I understand reasonably well Spanish language, but i don't know how to write in Spanish. And second, I need almost 2 hours of labour, just to add the Portuguese subtitles on each video. It is really a hard work which take a lot of my time. I hope you understand. :) Saludos
is that a square exhaust?
which brand is it?
The BMW K100 is a motorcycle that, when I see it, gives me boredom, a feeling of heaviness. It just doesn't excite, even being an advanced machine in its time. Even the appearance of the engine looks like a box of something my grandmother kept in the attic. Very sad for a brand that has created exciting machines. The solution to those dilemmas on the part of Two Wheels Empire is something that on the contrary excites and presents ways to achieve something that seemed impossible. I can only say that I like it.
Lol. I confess I was a bit worried when i started to read your comment. But i also understand your perspective about the K series . They are very hard bikes for a Cafe Racer project. But i am glad you agree with me on this one. Thank you my friend for sharing your honest perspective. :) Saludos
The BMW K series has always been a difficult motorcycle to customize. No matter how they are done, there is always something that is lacking, or appears to be over stated to compensate for the initial design, such as the rear cowl/seat design, the overly large shape of the engine, etc. However, the seat/rear cowl design on this bike and the two previous examples, for me is the number one advance for making the K series a much better looking machine! There is no need to discuss the performance of the engine, because Let's be honest, it is an example of German engineering. This design is a giant leap forward, and seemingly simple and subtle component. Two Wheels have just turned the world's eye for customizing the K series on it's head...
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. I'm glad you liked this one :) Cheers.
👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey man..
I found a project in Facebook.
Can you please make a video about that.
Want to know details about this bike..
Hello guys,
I purchased the same seat from the twisted brothers and I would like to make it look like your rear end. I love it.
Is there by any chance any Cad drawings for the rear chassis tube that you could send to me so I can get it exactly right?
Also how did you guys mount the rear stop light inside? Do you have any recommendations for which to use?
Thank you for your time and this masterpiece:)
Hell. I suggest you to contact Two Wheels Empire or Twisted Brothers. There are several links on this video description box. Thanks. Cheers.
Olá amigo!
Espero que esteja tudo bem por ai!
Um projeto requintado, belíssimo, faz bem aos olhos.
Uma pena que no Brasil não se encontre uma K100 para customizar. São raríssimas por estas bandas.
Olá Amigo Hélio. Está tudo bem por aqui, obrigado. Espero que o mesmo aconteça com Você. Pois é. Já vi que motas Europeias são raras nesse lado do Atlântico. O curioso é que estas velhas motos actualmente são relativamente baratas por aqui. Os preços rondam os 3500 a 4000 euros, ou seja, são das BMW mais baratas do mercado de motos usadas. :) Um abraço.
@@RACER_TV Caro amigo, dá para dizer que, quase tudo que é bom, falta. Os longos anos de proibição das importações abriram uma lacuna insuperável no mercado de autos e motos. E digo mais, mesmo hoje, a manutenção de um veículo um importado que ultrapasse os 5 anos de idade torna-se impraticável, dado o elevado custo de peças de reposição.
Amigo, Você falou sobre algo que nunca tinha pensado. Achava que a Internet tinha acabado com esse tipo de problema da falta de peças. :(
Aqui no Brasil tem uma K100 "modificada" no estilo Dragbike , me assustei quando vi !! Obs: (Sou apaixonado pelo estilo Café Racer !!)
Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.
Is there any video on your channel about an old suzuki katana? I recently fell in love with that bike
Unfortunately no. But here is a good video with a similar fuel tank shape: th-cam.com/video/aJfVb1X187E/w-d-xo.html
@@RACER_TV cool I'll check it out if i didn't see it already
J’espère pouvoir finir mes prises de vues pour pouvoir avoir le privilège d’avoir une vidéo de mon k-fé racer . Je vois qu’une de mes photos a servi sur cette vidéo 😉à bientôt j’espère
Olá Amigo David. Confesso que já me tinha esquecido do seu projecto. Ficarei à espera das fotos da sua K100. Mas tem razão, aquela transição da foto do quadro original e o quadro cortado, veio do seu projecto. :) Um abraço de Portugal.
404 error link not found when trying to purchase this seat off the link you left in the description
I am realy sorry. It seems Two Wheels empire is no longer in business. But try this link: www.twisted-brothers.com/products/k100-seat Cheers.
Watch in 1.25 speed. Way better flow
Anyone watch #forthebold latest video before watch this?
showw
Still waiting for yamaha XS 650 ep2
Good day RACER TV please check out LEGACY by IRON MACCHINA CUSTOMS.. maybe you can feature them if you don't mind.. it is XSR155 build from the philippines..
hope you like it 🙏
Seria interessante se no meio dos seus textos, começasse a embutir sutilmente especificações técnicas das motos, quando saiam da fábrica (torque, cilindrada, potencia).
Mais um excelente vídeo, acompanho o canal desde 2015, fico ansioso para chegar nas sextas em que faz o upload, e sinto falta de quando os vídeos eram semanais.
Abraço do Brasil.
Sinceramente acho que a solução é mais simples que essa: o corte no chassi sendo dado na base do banco e trazendo a trave do chassi saindo do tanque por cima do ponto onde o amortecedor encaixa. Muito semelhante ao que se faz com uma Gn 125. Naturalmente se a intenção é a linha reta entre chassi/banco/tanque
Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.
Please find a way to revenue without slathering banner ads across the screen for the entirety of the presentation. It was completely unenjoyable.
The tube is mandatory for the robustness of the structure of the seat because fiberglass is always a fragile compound...
To me the rear end does not look so good. But when the driver sits on it, he covers the mis shape with his upper legs. But of course You are nice to those guys who's bikes You introduce as it should be.
I ordered this seat from twisted brothers. E-mailed a bit up and down to make sure it was exactly what i was looking for.
Unfortunately after paying for it the communication stopped. It's been almost 6 weeks now and nothing was sent out or replied to my mails.
Made a complaint through Paypal but they still don't answer. I'll upgrade it to a dispute and have Paypal sort it. just a warning to future buyers.
Sad cuz I really liked the way it looked.
Hi. I am very surprised by your negative feedback about Twisted Brothers. The only explanation I can conceive, is that something very serious happened with them, and now they can't go on the business. Thank you for your testimony. Cheers.
@@RACER_TV today they came through and delivered the seat. It looks stunning. Still not a word of communication though. Anyway, I'm happy i got my seat! Took a bit over 6 weeks since i ordered.
Today i buy a K100 RS from 87 at 200€. 9 years stopped. I want end my custom in Spring.. no chance! 😂
Good luck for your project. :) Cheers.
i nned a seat for a 1993 k1100rs
