But since imagination knows no bounds, someone came up with something very special BMW motorcycle R100 R with a noticeable coppery touch. Vincent Degano fell in love with BMW motorcycles at a young age, as his father was a police officer and used them on a daily basis in his profession. Nowadays, Vincent rebuilds engines in the so-called “stylescrambler” because of the comfortable sitting position while driving. He decided that this time it was time for something new. He envisioned a motorcycle in the style of “cafe racer” and chose the BMW R100 R motorcycle as the basis for the conversion. The engine and rims were thoroughly cleaned and painted black. The frame, fork and other parts of the motorcycle were sandblasted and coated with a special copper coating. The fuel tank is painted copper and polished to a shiny copper sheen. Finally, Vincent tackled the springs and tires to complete his copper masterpiece. The BMW R100 R motorcycle already has a rich history, and in all its existence it is definitely a copper BMW one of the more attractive ones.
