BMW R100 DARK RACER
The BMW R100 DARK RACER is one of those motorcycles that, from the first glance, makes it clear it was born to stand out. Lord Drake Kustoms has transformed this classic BMW into an aggressive, elegant machine with a unique presence. Its cafe racer style combines the essence of pure motorcycling with a contemporary design that exudes character in every detail.
The base: a BMW R100 with history
This project starts with a BMW R100, an iconic model in the motorcycle world thanks to its boxer engine, reliability, and undeniable personality. Its classic architecture and chassis offer endless possibilities for customization, making it a perfect base for café racer, scrambler, or brat creations. In the case of the DARK RACER, the aim has been to strike a balance between sportiness and minimalism, preserving the soul of the original motorcycle while taking it to a whole new level.
MODIFICATIONS
The DARK RACER has been completely disassembled and rebuilt piece by piece. Among the most notable modifications are:
- Reconfiguration of the subframe, now shorter and more stylized, adapted to a racer-type seat.
- Updated suspension, with a firmer rear system and tuned front forks to improve aesthetics and handling.
- Fully restored spoked wheels fitted with wider tires for a more robust appearance.
Headlight and handlebars
Custom seat
- Custom exhaust with a minimalist style and dark finish, designed to reinforce the aggressive character of the motorcycle.
- Low cafe racer-style handlebars, with simplified controls and elements for a clean and sporty look.
- Headlight, turn signals and LED taillight, discreetly integrated to maintain the purist aesthetic.
- Engine overhauled and detailed with renewed paint and components, maximizing reliability and visual finish.
- Concealed wiring and relocated battery for a completely clean side profile.
ANTHRACITE GREY
The BMW R100 DARK RACER boasts a completely satin and matte black finish, with meticulously polished details that provide contrast without disrupting the overall dark aesthetic. The fuel tank is painted in a subtle yet elegant metallic anthracite gray that creates spectacular reflections in the light. The result is a motorcycle with a sober, modern, and utterly intimidating appearance… the perfect definition of a “Dark Racer.”
