If you're a fan of the BMW K Series, then you need to see this video.
I am sure you will be amazed by the BMW Café Racer featured today.
Especially because it was built by the same builder, that created the best motorcycle of the year 2023.
This beautifu customl Bmw K1100 RS, was built by Timothy Somers, founder of Powerbrick, a BMW parts specialist, located in Holland.
I am sure you will like it.
My special thanks to Pedro Torres, for his great help with my english.
Here are some interesting links about this motorcycle/Builder:

Clean design, masculine colours, top spec components. Excellent.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
Racer tv is a kid! He thinks 30 years is REALLY Old 😂😂😂
Maybe you didn't understand my perspective. What I wanted to say, is that at first glance, this project appears to be a current modern motorcycle. And from that perspective, I think we can say that if this bike is actually 30 years old, then we can consider it a very old bike. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TVDon't waste your time in such an idiot ".
“Kid” is a bit disrespectful. But I guess everything is relative. He’s a man in my eyes from the builds he’s created.
@@mattyfresh101 he did not build any of these. And his voice is AI. And how is kid disrespectful? We were all kids once, and being a kid does not make you lower than adults, does it?
It’s not old for a person but compared to most bikes on the road today, it is. Even more so, if you’re just talking BMWs.
thank you racer tv, your hard work and passion motivates me to follow my passion, i am a mechanic too, i fix broken motorcycles, and i ride too...God bless you,
cheers
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers
Thank you so much for the absolutely flattering video🙏🏻🙏🏻
@Powerbrickperformance You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. And thank you for helping me make this video possible. I'm very glad you liked. :) Cheers
hello victor !..new level refinements!…there is no doubt that motorcycle and car companies are watching and source design cues from small independent builders…some may dispute the aesthetics of the extended swing arm, but regardless of that aspect, it does not compliment the purpose of a true cafe racer…for longer wheelbase comfort cruising bikes, and drag bikes they can make sense…i guess im just an old codger with this ideals stuck in my brain…but there is no question that this machine is nearing perfection!..thanks for sharing brother!
Yes, the swingarm is indeed very long.
But unfortunately, this is the only way to install the wide rear tire, since the swingarm came from diferent BMW model.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers
i get it brother…i’m not attempting to be an armchair critic of such highly competent work. however, in a quest for perfection, i’m pretty sure you understand from where i’m coming…when your goal is to build the best cafe racer, you might not spec out a drag bike swing arm…damn, i hate myself
sometimes…
One of your Photoshop versions (last one) is very close what I would draw. Let's be clear first, a project is just amazing with a tale and all, harmonious and very beautiful, but everyone has his/her personal taste. We're entering with this kind of designs beyond what brands factory teams are capable to achieve, limited with "market rules" and that sh#t. I just love it. Thank you Victor and of course Timothy.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers
Thank you!
Nice piece
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers
Un video estupendo, muchas gracias!
You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Saludos
omg that is absolutely beautiful!
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
Good Project! 👍
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers
100% with the fairing, the third choice is perfect!
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Um abraço
perfect
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers
objectively and obviously, your statement about the front part of the motorcycle is right, as your choice is more "classical" and more familiar to many of us; but his type of headlight appears to be Timothy's signature, and he won't let it fall soon in my opinion
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers
For me-keep it clean!
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
Красота 😘😘😘 😍😍😍 ❤
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers
@@RACER_TV Слава Украине !!!
5:15 - agree with you, this would be great choice (in my opinion, the better one)
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
Agree with your fairing
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
Realmente foi um grande desafio
O construtor é um artista nato.
Só achei a "suspensão traseira" um pouco alta.
No mais,trabalho bem feito
Video perfeito.
O dia ja está destruído 🍺kkkkk
Tequila por favor
BMW é digna de uma excelente tequila mexicana.
Olá Amigo Marcelo. Penso que a altura da suspensão, foi pensada na estatura alta da maioria dos Holandeses. Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. Chim chim Kkkkkk :) Um abraço
@@RACER_TV Ah sim
É verdade,tenho parentes na Holanda e na Bélgica
Realmente a altura é difetenciada⚔️🍺
Boa tarde,a moto ficou com personalidade e quanto a carenagem relacionado ao evitar o vento a segunda tenho uma carenada e sei como faz diferença.Agora quanto a estética a terceira.Obrigado.
Boa tarde. Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço
❤❤❤
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers
Your choice of fairing is immediately attractive - Timothy's is more creative and might grow on you...
@christianmaravelias231 Hi. Yes, I tried to say exactly that during the video. Let's say that my suggestions for the fairing, are the most consensual options, but the least creative. :)
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers
i have BMW K75 and is "Der Schutthaufen" i dont have time to custom.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers
sure this engine/powertrain does not fooling ! enough for boy racers but by far not that what we expect
220km/h after five🤔 sec. for 100km/h was ... M3 "clean & empty" deliver better ➡️ now , motorbikes have the better physic at bmw
Indeed. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers
I preferred your old Ai voice better. 😮
I am very sorry to hear that. I hope you understand that it is difficult to please everyone. Fortunately, since I started using the AI upgrade on the old voice, I have almost stopped receiving complaints about the voice in the videos being artificial. :) Cheers.
Third choice of fairing gets my vote. Good luck bro
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
Great video Victor, as always.Timothy as done an excellent job with the BMW K, it's a very cool looking bike and as for the fairing it's the third choice for me. Ride safe and take care mate. Cheers
Thank you my Dear Friend for sharing your opinion. You too. Thank you. :) Cheers
Wow! C’est master builder for sure! I love both of your fairings iterations for sure this one will help many builder with this weird tank shape! I’m also in love with the exhaust! What a piece! The globale line is kind of too futurist « street fighter » for me. But we can’t refute how the work is well done!
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers
Victor - I slightly prefer your final alternate fairing, then the builder’s fairing, then your first alternate fairing. The exhaust is just stunning, BTW
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
This bike is absolutely gorgeous.... I think I probably would have swapped out the red parts for yellow parts and had it be gray and yellow.. but still it's absolutely gorgeous
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers
The whole bike is a work of art, but the exhaust header does it for me. It reminds me of the crazy 2 stroke exhausts when they used to do the expansion chambers in individual welds sometimes exceeding over 100 welds per pipe.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers
@@RACER_TV keep up the great work, and ride safe my friend 👍
My friend, some day I'll have the pleasure of possess one of these, no matter if I wait up to my retirement 😫....😊🖖
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers
Dear Racer TV. Another brilliant Video.
Maybe i got a new BMW for you in the Future 😊
Thank you my friend for your support. We never know. :) :) Cheers
I prefer the fairing that’s on the bike but the last one looked good as well.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
Diese BMW K 110 war eine Stunde Kunst. Mir hat dieses Projekt wirklich gut gefallen, was für ein wundervolles Motorrad, als es fertig war. Herzlichen Glückwunsch an den Bauherrn.😁🙌👏👏👏👏😊
A very nice build! I like your choice of fairing. To me, the wheelbase seems a bit long, but that may just be the open area behind the engine. And, as always, thank you for Racer TV, the Café Racers only choice! Ride safe my friend! Cheers:)
Thank you dear friend for sharing your perspective.
Yes, the swingarm is indeed very long.
But unfortunately, this is the only way to install the wide rear tire, since the swingarm came from diferent BMW model. You too. Thank you. :) Cheers
I absolutely love 99% of this build. The 1% that I simply can't get my head around is the proportions of the back end of the bike. To me, and this is my personal opinion. The wheelbase looks too long. It reminds me of one of those American drift bikes. I'm not sure if it's the shaft drive that is too long. If the rear wheel was slightly shorter then the bike would be perfect.

Great vídeo and great motorcycle ☕
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers
I would like to do the same overhaul on my daily driver K75C engine, not changing its overall appearance and practicality. The K-series is the all time best machine of the House of BMW Motorrad, taken out of production prematurely only for commercial reasons. It simply was to good!
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers
A lovely bike, and although I would like to see a higher screen on the bikini fairing, I do like how he has blended it into the tank. Yes the lines of the top of the tank to the top of the fairing are spot on, but I feel it looks empty when looking from the seat ... you have the top of the forks and the bars and ... somethings missing ... A taller fairing/screen would sort this out.
I like the fact that the seat tail now has some (cosmetic?) aero on there.
Will it be the Best Of The Year ... ??? ... I don't know! But I do know you will see me on the next video.
L&R From Down Under
:) I agree with you. Thank you my dear friend for sharing your perspective, and for your support. :) Cheers
While this bike looks good with its bikini fairing it would look so much better with your slightly larger and more curvaceous idea.
Also, 30 year old bikes are not old, I remember this design when it was brand new. Surely I cannot be old as well? Can I!?!
Lool. I think I didn't explain myself well in the video.

Fantastic bike. The details on this are just spectacular and it seems that next to the engine and a small part of the frame everything is custom and made with an eye for the smallest details. Thank you for your expertise on this bike, the last fairing you showed is indeed beautiful too. I’m very curious about what Powerbrick performance has up its sleeve for the coming years!
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers
Why anyone would want to be a billboard for a tobacco company is beyond me, but the bikes are beautiful.
@CrapKerouac Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. I think this is due to the inspiration of some racing bikes and formula 1 cars from the 80s.. :) Cheers
wow and zamzam water
Looks excellent for my taste, I only miss a mudguard at the backwheel.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers

I LOVE TIMOTHY'S!!!!

Always Watching Sir ❤😊

We are in watchmaking, these are no longer a video, it is a masterpiece. Thank you Victor
Loool. Muito obrigado amigo pelo simpático comentário. :) Um grande abraço, e Boas Férias :)
@@RACER_TV Obrigado amigos, o sol não brilha em lugar nenhum tão bem quanto aqui :)
@user-ib3lt2xv2g Nada como estar no nosso País. :) Um grande abraço
Perfect with the R9T fairing
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
I love everything about the bike except the rear wheel which sits 7 meters behind the bike. Proportionally it just looks so disjointed to me
Yes, it is indeed excessively long.
But unfortunately, this is the only way to install the wide rear tire, since the swingarm came from diferent BMW model.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers
@@RACER_TV ah okay, interesting to know. Thanks
Which other bmw model did that swing arm come from to give it that extended look?
IMHO the rear part of the bike looks too long... something in the dimensions is off...
I am sure you are referring to the mono swing arm.
Yes, it is indeed excessively long.

Ostras la pole !!!😂
All these videos are one of most wonderful and dream of anything that shows up on TH-cam, thank you very much.
But sometimes you have o figure about motor oil and all the dirt.
Sarting out simple, let's believe, the K1100 engine is still great after more than 30 years. What about carbutators, those are not outdated comparing to fuel injection? What did they do about those? Which parts were worn out and what do they do when there's nothing instead? This looks street legal, where exactly the licence plate is supposed to atrach and doesn't your photoshop tell how it's going to look with it? Noticed on a side of the wheel but quite often it helps at the end part of rear fender an still looks interesting.
I really agree for the fairings, those look absolutely beautiful.
@andrejspornieks Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. In this case, the K1100 already had factory fuel injection. But even so, this Builder chose to upgrade the injection system. For obvious reasons, the licence plate was removed for the photo/video session. But to run on the road, the Builder applied the license plate to the right side of the bike, close to the rear wheel axle. Thank you for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
Thank you, I understand. But let me still believe, the plate would look interesting on the back of wheel, quite like Ducati scramblers have those. Also, in some countries on the side of wheel they have been restricted due to licence visibility and ride safety. To my opinion, on a powerful multi-cylinder cafe racer like K1100 with a fat rear tire it would make it really fantastic whereas typical scrambler can most naturally have it at the end of the fender, at its best angles looking raw and off-road. More to it, that would serve you compensating your completely missing mudguard.
I hate videos with robot foreign Narration. Nice bike but I can’t listen to this.
@jtreminger Sorry to hear that. About 8 months ago, I started using an AI artificial voice upgrade. Interestingly, since that date, I have received almost no complaints about this voice. You are probably the third person to dislike this voice.
Unfortunately, things are more complicated than most people may think. I use this "robotic" voice created by software, because I'm Portuguese, and my bad English accent (and voice), can ruin the documentary character that I like for my videos. I already tried a real British voice in one of my videos, and, surprisingly, almost everyone hated it. Cheers
Where did you move the huge fuel injection controller? I never knew where to mount that on my build.
Considering the huge air box over the engine has been removed, I believe it is situated somewhere in this location. :) Cheers.
👏🏼
Could you please try a BMW RT1200
I think you will enjoy watching the 2 videos at the following links:
th-cam.com/video/72gIFhFKbU8/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/9ZR7t0dcmPs/w-d-xo.html
They are not based on the BMW RT1200, but they could be. :) Cheers.
Don’t like that style, each to their own
No problem. It is quite understandable. Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
Thanks for your channel! 👍🏼 -In my opinion, Powerbricks fairing are absolutely best in design with its minimal approach.
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers
