Low, long and aerodynamic - three necessary features for a drag bike, a motorcycle for acceleration competitions. All three can be found on the Sprintbeemer assembled at Lucky Cat Garage. The French team built it around a modified BMW R50/2 engine chassis and is powered by BMW's R100RS reciprocating engine. They drank it all the way at Edelweiss Motorsport, and added a nitro (NOS) drive for a little more flight.
That they are "drag bikes" Sprintbeemer at Lucky Cat Garage prepared for racing, the front forks were removed from the original construction and replaced with those from a BMW motorcycle R75/5. Even otherwise, the whole motorcycle is done from different parts, which makes it look like they put it together from things they found lying around. Front design aerodynamic linings is the work of Benny Robinson, creative director of Edwin Europe, and behind it the accent is given by the antique "J. Lojevska" 18 inch M&H tire, which Morado's bike wore.
They add their own to the garage look moped fuel tank and handmade aluminum seat. In addition to interesting parts collected from all over the world, it is also decorated with a witty inscription "Who needs 9 lives" ("Who Needs 9 Life").
