When you set eyes on an adventure bike, what do you see?*

A ruggedly handsome rake angle, fantastic suspension travel…perhaps your next weekend forage into the surrounding trail offerings?

For the folks at BYmyCar BMW Motorrad in Paris, it was a completely different genre – and the results wouldn’t be out of place next to the nearest lean, mean roadster.*

For this project, BymyCar took a BMW K 1600 G donor bike, complete with a 1649cc, inline-six heart, capable of 160hp @ 6750rpm and 132ft-lbs @ 5250rpm yoinking up to a 125+mph top speed.

Next came the silhouette.*

Surprisingly, the team kept the K 1600’s 7-gallon gas tank, complementing the tall set of handlebars and wraparound bodywork.*

Slatted air scoops lead up to two exposed high-flow air intakes, on the other end of which BymyCar has hung an unslung pipe.*

Care to take a further gander at the specs?
