Proudly presenting our special build BMW K100 collaborative project featuring very unique "art attack" livery.
The paintwork has been done by the British artist Ian Cook, internationally renowned for his unique form of creating artwork – painting with radio controlled cars, vehicle tyres and toy car wheels instead of paintbrushes (POPBANGCOLOUR).
A complete and comprehensive Resto-mod with outstanding specification, we built an exciting rear framework & seat unit to make this bike stand apart from any other custom K100 build out there. We have brought the bike bang up to date by integrating the motogadget mo.unit blue and Rebelmoto handlebar switches with high quality tech and Bluetooth connectivity. In addition to the list of bespoke parts specifically made for this bike and the customisation process, this bike has had a comprehensive nut and bolt restoration.
THE STORY
1975 saw the introduction of what would become an iconic part of BMWs history. The BMW Art Car collection began when Hervé Poulain asked artist, and friend to swap his canvas for a BMW car. Poulain, a French racing driver, would later race this car. In fact, nine of these Art Cars competed in motorsport. There was only ever meant to be a single Art Car but now a total of nineteen official BMW Art Cars have been painted.......... So we thought, why not apply the same principle to one of our custom BMW bike builds?
The bike itself went though the kind of transformation and attention to detail that ASE Custom Motorcycles is known for before paying a visit to Ian to work his magic on the bodywork. We then gave him the simple brief of doing what he does best, whilst paying homage to the iconic BMW motorsport livery.
