Cafe Racer BMW R65 Becomes Handsome, Front Fork from Yamaha R1

The BMW R65 is a handsome cafe racer. The front fork is cute, belonging to the Yamaha R1.

Many BMW motorcycles today are often used as custom materials by many builders.

One example is the cafe racer-style BMW R65 produced by Gerard GutiƩrrez from Bandarra Motor Classic (BMC).

For the changes, Gerard started by stripping every part of the motor leaving only the frame.

The appearance is made completely minimalist but still sturdy and scary

Then the subframe was immediately completely overhauled to be more minimalist and continued to make new high-profile mountings.

Then the rear suspension was replaced with a YSS pretentious to ensure maximum driving comfort and a sporty appearance.

Then to compensate for the maximum rear legs, the front legs are also upgraded.

The front fork is replaced with an upside-down Yamaha R1 complete with a triangle and braking system.

Both wheels still use the default R65 but are modified slightly to suit the fork and R1 braking.

Don’t forget to make mudguards and number plate brackets, and tiny front and rear fenders to perfect the legs.
