    Elders Bmw are among the most popular motorcycles to make a Café Racer BMW.
    The particularity that is made the success of these models is the box of the named boxer type "Airhead". A style, behavior and a unique sound.

    Another special feature appreciated on BMW R series, is the fact that the sub-châssis is bolted. This makes the modification of the loop simpler and reversible.

    In addition to these particularities, the Bavarian brand is based on a good reputation, her reliability and his quality.

    Building on their success, the Bmw R60, R75, R80, R90 And R100 are increasingly rare and therefore, therefore, more expensive to buy.

      On n’arrête d’évoluer dans ces transformations et la création est sans limite .

      Les modèles sur base BMW offrent un très BON support pour ces évolutions et la qualité BMW ainsi que sa personnalité sont indéniables.

      En ce qui me concerne je finalise un projet BRATSTYLE ,´plus classique ´ sur base YAMAHA 500 SR de 1981 premier modèle.
      Concernant BMW je possède un modèle R 50 de 1956 en état d’origine et en parfait état de fonctionnement et présentation.

      Meilleurs sentiments motocyclistes,

      Alain
