[webbikeworld.com] - Custom Eye Candy: A BMW K 1600 G Goes ‘RR’
Click here for full story...
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.* The revised K 1600 roadster from the minds of Motorrad BymyCar. Media sourced from RideApart.A new subframe and single-saddle tail were added, with the frame getting a new lickable red for the ‘wow factor. 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.* The revised K 1600 roadster from the minds of Motorrad BymyCar. Media sourced from RideApart.With all these mods and a few more, the K 1600 G weighs in at a very lovely 530lbs – all the better to dress the below-the-belt €65,000 (~$64,992 USD) pricetag. Care to take a further gander at the specs? Check out Motorrad BymyCar’s website, drop a comment below letting us know what you think, and as ever – stay safe on the twisties.* *Media sourced from RideApart* The post Custom Eye Candy: A BMW K 1600 G Goes ‘RR’ appeared first on webBikeWorld.
