The Krugger K1600 ultra cafe racer

Built by Freddie ‘Krugger’ Bertrand, the Belgian custom builder who owns Krugger Motorcycles, this is his take on the trendy modern cafe racer. The bike is based around a BMW K1600.

Krugger built the bike as a modern tribute to the iconic pre-War BMW R7 using art deco style and lots of hand-formed steel and aluminium bodywork.

The wheels are huge, 21 inch at the front and 20 inch at the back and are machined from blanks, thebike gets a Beringer brake system that uses six-pot calipers at the front and four-pot at the rear. The bike’s original suspension remains although the duo-lever front has been radically overhauled.

Here’s some pretty interesting video of the bike in action. Figured you’d find this interesting on a dull December morning.  We did.
