We really love the clean bikes trend and we're always happy to see customizers and owners who strip their rides to the bare essentials, instead of adding unnecessary bling.
Well, we're definitely leaving the steampunk builds out of this discussion, as it's sporty bikes time: Tarmac Custom Motorcycles ha s nifty treat for all the BMW fans out there, the perfect proof that less can in fact sometimes mean so much more.
While pretty much everyone agrees that the K75 is rather far from BMW's most beautiful bike, the Spaniards had something different in mind. Since the fairing's lower part of the old Ks is one of the first elements which hurt the eye and makes the bike look unnaturally long, it definitely had to go.
However, these guys managed to cut it down to the perfect shape and left more of the engine on display. Even more, they've re-worked the whole rear of the bike, with a slim basepan for the minimalist seat and a cafe-racer mini cowl in the rear.
With a simplified dash and minimal wiring in plain sight, the Tarmac Custom now looks extremely compact and way more aggressive than it ever did. It's always nice to see ho much can a bike gain by losing some of its bulk.
