Here's a nifty piece of one-off custom BMW bobberism, in the shape of the Kevil's Rooster. This Paignton Devon, UK-based custom workshop has been producing 2-wheeled excellence for some time now, and we're ever so glad to have stumbled upon their awesome bikes.
The Rooster, is an old R1000RT BMW restored to an even greater glory that it had back in the day, all clad in a black satin coat of paint with delicate pinstripes and smooth golden accents to enhance its wonderful simplicity.
Commissioned by a graphic designer in London, the Rooster screams vintage attitude: the sprung leather solo seat matches the rubber fork protectors and the two-tone cylinder paint scheme, while the whole aspect of the bike brings together the aggressive stance of a flat-tracker and the proud riding position of a retro fighter.
The satin shine is complemented by the mellow glow of the polished exhaust line, with a striking, sparkling accent of the 2-in-1 mirror-finish silencer. Add in the fat tires shoeing the snowflake rims, the simple instrumentation, and the conductor bag hiding a gel battery and here you have, the Kevil's Rooster - a street machine like no other.
Pinstripes have been executed by hand by tattoo guru Simon Dent from Exmouth, Devon, UK.
