The R100X: A BMW boxer enduro bike from an F1 engineer

There's something special about taking a classic motorcycle, and transforming it to the point that it's fit for an entirely different purpose than it what was originally created for. It's the difference between customization and re-engineering; modern materials and processes augment vintage...

No thanks. Too tall for me, i will keep my R80st/gs thingy instead. ( and save a fortune)

 

[wilbjr21]

Same for me - I'll manage with my immaculate R100GSPD for the same reason.

Does look nice though.

 

[Mad Hatter]

Nice, but the seat slopes the wrong way

Exposed air filter and starter, presumably with hole through to ring gear doesn't look the greatest idea on a "dirt bike".

Looks great though.

 

[G&T]

Corrrr! Now that is a bit different

 

[Paradiso]

It has the stance of a shitting dog. He should have saved his money and bought a KTM.

My thoughts too
Lovely thing to go to Tesco on "But" I very much suspect that Dirt biking is not something the builder has rally partaken of ??

How much mud do you think you would be wearing by the end of a few miles in a mucky forest

I did think about sand and then thought what ever charging source was there would get a severe sand blasting from Wheel / speed

I thought I'd wade in with some more negative comments but actually I don't have any. I like it. Thanks, Fok, for posting it!

 

[Kenny]

Yep, love the look of it.......more for the younger R100 generation though !!

 

[PIGGLET]

Oooof, thats filth!

Agree re air filter but there's some serious engineering mods gone into it. It's just looks 'right' (to me anyway). That exhaust looks superb.

They’ve done a nice job with that. Someone has deep pockets.

The front brake alone gets me excited.

Nah that’s the same as mine! 690 caliper on a 320mm disc.

Now the swing arm, bevel drive and rear wheel setup looks interesting.

The thing is it’s taken a pretty unloved bike the R850R and done something different that’s not a rubbish cafe racer with it. I’m a fan.

Some nice work,
However,
It looks to have standard ktm yokes,so it will have no steering lock,and potentially be unstable at speed,
You’d need to be 7ft tall to ride it,and the position of the gear lever would suggest pretty big feet.
As a by the by ,you’d also need to drop the engine to change the oil filter,and water would gather in the starter motor void and run down into the bell housing and clutch.
An exercise in engineering and possibly form over function.

Pics of your R100 GSPD?

Funny enough Glancing through and I noticed your comment about no steering lock and then thought every pic the bars are straight ahead

A lot of time and money went into it

Whilst pretty and technical etc etc

Would not be my cup of tea for practicality

Both very pretty and very usable #ThumbsUp
