No matter how cool the new BMW R1200GS is, the R1100GS still remains the king of the boxer adventure machines. And CRD's Desert 1100GS is a custom Beemer with ultra-hot looks and a bold attire we fell in love with.
The build required over a month of hard working to transform the casual R1100GS into the Desert beast.
Cafe Racer Dreams kept some of the essential parts, and worked on others, in order to add a different, yet fully-rideable stance to the bike. Suspensions and wheels remained the same, but the rear subframe was custom-built.
CRD loaded the engine with K&N filters and a GR exhaust, but that's about all that was changed. The bars and grips are original ones, but a Motogadget gauge replaced the bulky original dash.
For the sake of beauty, a round , generous Ducati S2R headlight was installed in the place where the old rectagular and fairly ugly original one was. Fenders, license plate holder and painting come all from CRD, just like the bespoke seat.
And with the oil radiator above the headlight and everything painted in matte black, adding TKC 80 knobbies completes the aggressive, off-road build.
