Even the most subtle change can make a major difference. Most people have no idea as to how much time, money, and engineering it takes to strip something like this down to the bare minimum, and still maintain functinality. The placement of the "black box" is a good example. Making it so that it is not obvious, hiding all of the wiring, keeping it accessable as well. Beautiful machine! I have often thought the the BMW motorcycles were featured too often on this channel, but the particular example changes my perspective. Hats off to the builder!!!
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Yes, you are right. I always try to present different projects based on different brands. But for some reason, some of the most well made/designed projects, are based on BMW motorcycles. Cheers.

In my humble opinion, this is the most beautiful BMW Café conversion that I have seen. From some angles, the rear swingarm appears out of place, but, from another view, it’s perfectly set up for this machine. The paint scheme is the best I’ve seen, absolutely stunning! What an inspiration! I would like to meet this builder, he definitely has his act together! As always, thank you for Racer TV, the Café racers only choice! Have a great weekend and ride safe my dear friend! Cheers:)
Hello my dear Friend. Thank you for sharing your opinion. Some already said, this is going to be the best cafe racer of this year. To be honest, I doubt it. Because I already saw a much better project, which will be presented in February. :) You too. :) Cheers.
Thank you for the nice video! I had the chance to see this bike on a motorcycle show in the Netherlands and met Tim in person as well. Very friendly guy and willing to help and answer all my questions.. I have spent quite some time looking this beauty…
Lool. Yes. The funny thing is, I read comments like yours, on most first videos of the year. :) Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Yet again you start a new year with a stunning piece of cafe motorrad art! Looks like 2023 is going to be a great year for cafe racers and Racer TV fans! Thanks for all your had work bringing these beautiful machines to our collective attention.

There is so much going on with this machine it's very impressive that it achieves as much as it does. I'm impressed with the fact that Powerbrick was able to use the Red/Orange stripe color and match it with the water hose, brake hose, and front struts. The Pirelli tires bring a forceful entity to the bikes overall appearance. What an aggresive looking thread design. The fact that the headlight and tank align brings up an interesting perspective on the overall design. When you look at the side view at timeline 7:12 you must ask if that was the right decision. Because the intersection between the seat, tank, and frame look out of place with that gaping air space. That is the Achilles heel to an otherwise awesome build.
Great video Racer, as always. Tim has done an excellent job with the flying brick, it's one sweet looking bike with power. Nice to see the K series bikes customized. Ride safe and take care mate. Cheers
Thank you very much my friend for another excellent video of a very cool bike. I really love the tires on this bike and I have never seen them before. I also love the stance on this bike.
Swingarm is not really a secret. Its indeed a R1150 swingarm and some minor mods to the gearbox to fit it. Rearwheel is a custom wheel with more offset I believe.
Initially, I thought exactly the same. But after looking at all the small details on the swing arm, I conclude it can't be only a R1150 swingarm. If you pay attention where the monoshock is bolted on, you will see that the swing arm is slightly different. And the swing arm rear end, is also different. Let me know what you think. :)
Ive talked to them because i wanted the same mod (and did it). Its just a r1150 swingarm with a k1100 or 1200 reardrive and a r1100 drive shaft. Extra length is more then 15mm, more like 50mm
O que eu acredito ser um grande desafio, além de todo projeto, que ficou lindo, foi a alteração da roda traseira, criativo e incrivelmente bonita... parabens ao Racer TV e aos construtores envolvidos.
Oh WAAU ! What a wonderful result and point by point what refined finishes; also already with an interesting power...however with such an extended swingarm it will be very rigid to drive, inconvenient to link curves...
Yes, the agility on corners, may be affected. But the stability at high speeds, is going to be higher than ever. :) Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TV Hitman is right. Fantastic building that certainly provides incredible enjoyment at high speeds on straight lines. But that you can't drive on a roundabout. As an owner of a K1100 RS (humbly customized by myself which resulted with a 60 kg weight loss), I can confirm this bike on its original form is already very rigid on corners and so stable on straight lines that you can drive it with one single hand at 175 km/h without fairing. Thank you Victor for your great work. Your channel made me wishing and able to carry on my customization project. Best wishes to You, your channel and your followers.
@Ernest Lajoie Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) I also have a BMW K1, and I can also confirm it is extremely stable on straight road at high speeds. But when cornering at high speed, I always felt the rear end of the bike twisting/wobbling. Cheers.
It’s simply amazing. I really hope that these can be introduced into our country so that domestic players can also enjoy unique and unique artworks. I am from China. Can I establish a cooperation with us? I am also a motorcycle enthusiast and have my own refitting factory
Lol. É curioso ouvir isso. Porque no inicio do ano passado, aconteceu exactamente o mesmo. Obrigado amigo Alex por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.
Con una discreta dose di impegno anche le serie K possono apparire sportive ma se posso aggiungo anche che la porzione di codino posteriore è troppo piccola e sproporzionata rispetto alla parte centrale e anche rispetto allo sbalzo eccessivo della ruota posteriore. Ahimè questi sono gli stilemi un po'di moda che secondo me andrebbero abbattuti. Complimenti per la realizzazione, migliore rispetto al 90% delle special su questa base.
I agree with you; the rear wheel looks to far from the engine, is more like a drag race motorcycle, the rest is very impressive!! (agree with you again Victor 😂) Big budget and good taste can make miracles!

Very nice and amazing edit❤️🔥
Where can I buy one like it? I'm from Iraq and we don't have on💔☹️
Got me pumped. Im picking one up in two days to start a CR build.
Any advice on getting the wider wheel on there?
@FallCityKid Hi. What bike model are you going to transform?
@@RACER_TV a K1100LT. Just got done tearing it down today.
Que início de ano magnífico.. Uma super moto que será um páreo difícil para a escolha da melhor no final do ano, ou até o próximo vídeo! kkk

it almost feels like a crime to have an engine as beautiful as that hidden in the shell
Wait ITS legal on road ?
But ITS beauty 😍👍👍
