CAS Racing BMW 1150RS Custom
BMW customs seem to be far more common in
Europe than the US and this one by CAS Racing, located in Spain, is one more
example. Starting out as a BMW 1150RS, the Paralever rear, standard issue on the
BMW, is all they needed out back. A subframe mounted to the engine holds the
bodywork which was shaped by first carving a foam mold. Up front is a more
substantial subframe used to mount their single sided front suspension.
CAS Racing modified the engine with 14:1
compression and a modified blackbox with custom ignition curves. The added their
own airboxes and exhaust.
Handlebars are from a mountain bike
which gives it a compact and clean look.
An interesting addition is
the biometric ignition. A small scanner on the tank reads the owner’s thumbprint
to turn things on.
Why don’t we see more BMW customs over
here? They seem to offer a lot of room for innovative ideas and they certainly
haven’t been overdone like some bikes. Hmm …
