It's time to introduce the JagdBobber, a strikingly beautiful custom Kawasaki W650 by Lars Justinger from Germay-based Brauchis Bikes. While it seems like German road regulations are a bit on the strict side and made a raked out fork impractical for legal reasons, the cafe-racer design was next in line. And we're glad it went out like that.
The electric starter went away, leaving the W650 with kickstart only for a more vintage character, while all the clutter and wiring has been also kept to a minimum. The custom yoke also accommodates the all-digital instruments and makes room for a fat front tire.
Lars needed two fuel tanks, one form a Yamaha XS750 and one form am XS650. The first one kept its purpose while the second one underwent plastic surgery and became the rear cowl, also receiving minimalist blinkers.
Since JagdBobber is a derivative form the German Jagdbomber meaning fighter-bombardment aircraft, the red WWI themed color option only seems natural. Finally, if you inspect the bike, you'll see no chrome... and we simply love that!
