The BMW R100R: Stripped Down and Gussied Up

bmw_r100r_1

Hubba hubba – I can’t stop looking at that hand shaped tank! But that’s just the first noticeable thing about this ambitious custom BMW R100R cafe racer build by Paul Brauchart and Philipp Rabl of Austria-based Vagabund Moto.

The stripped-down, streamlined design also sports near seamless seat integration to the tank with a built-in taillight, a matching front mudguard and headlight shell, minimalist Motogadget turn signals, and sleek black powder-coated rims. Even more interesting is a leather-clad secret compartment under the hinged seat for keeping accoutrements.
