It might not be everyone’s cuppa tea, but for those who dig a more unorthodox, apocalyptic-looking cafe racer, the BMW R100 ‘Sbang’ ($NA) is definitely appealing.
Spawned out of Sicilian custom shop Svako, the bike features a “tiny” 1,170 CC twin cylinder boxer, a bullet-riddled tank (made with real bullets), and a pair of grippy Heidenau K67 tires, to tackle both paved and off-road terrains. The ‘Sbang’ has all the wiring hidden within its bulls eye-marked gas tank, which also sports a retro-ish control panel for the key ignition and lights switches (activating the lamp above the handlebar, and another one next to the tank.) The result is a mean motorcycle that’s suited for Mad Max himself, or just a regular Joe with a lot of steam to blow off.
