BMW Motorrad, the division of BMW specializing in motorcycles, has just celebrated its 100th anniversary. To mark this anniversary, the firm asked the German Dirk Oehlerking of Kingston Custom to create a customized version of its famous R 18. The man had already made an impression with a previous customization called “SpiritSpirit of Passion”.
This new version of the R 18 is called “The Crown”. It is very different from the standard model, with its completely redesigned silhouette. ” As always, I worked with hard foam and cardboard to create the shape, lines and design. The objective was to give it a powerful, elegant and fast look, combined with an innovative look said Dirk Oehlerking.
Many parts replaced
He retained the engine and rear suspension, but had to design a new front suspension, and the tank as well as the bodywork were made from 2 millimeter thick steel sheets. The headlight, instruments and footrest are original, but the exhaust is handmade, as is the saddle in aluminum sheet aluminum and leather. Clutch and brake fittings are from Magura, and the rear fender from Wunderkind. To complete a very vintage look, the R 18 The Crown has a “champagne platinumplatinum” color pearlescent finish.
