Hornig, based in Cham, Germany,have been producing special
parts and accessories for BMW motorcycles since 2001.
They are responsible for this stunning conversion of the BMW R1200R
Scrambler.
After their successful Scrambler conversions of the last years, they were
searching for a new project in winter 2017/2018 - and they found a 2006 BMW
R1200R. Their goal was to make the final result of the conversion look
considerably much more stylish and fancier than the original motorcycle. First,
they trimmed the rear frame of the R1200R significantly and converted the seat
of the former double seater into a trendy single seat. The seat of their R1200R
is now covered by cognac-coloured leather and a quilt design with colour-matched
seams gives the seat its particular, unique appearance.
The mat black paintwork of the tank, the side fairings and the front
mudguard presents an attractive contrast to the seat and is made
perfect by their silver helmet logo and a silver Hornig writing.
Because of the complete reconstruction of the rear part of the
motorcycle, they manufactured particular indicator supports where
they then mounted new Mini indicators. Moreover, they installed a
clear Mini LED tail light on the shortened rear frame.
A black metal cover, which gives a clean look to their new rear, is
used to complete the new rear frame part of the bike and an
adjustable paralever strut raises the rear of our Scrambler. An ABS
mudguard for the rear wheel protects the rider and the motorcycle
against splash water and stone chips and an individually made number
plate support lowers the position of their adjustable licence plate
bracket and the number plate significantly compared to their
original position. The silver anodized rear wheel centre cover
embellishes the rear wheel and the new cardan crash protector avoids
cardan damages.
Hornig also made some modifications at the front of the R1200R. They
worked over the original front mudguard and narrowed it slightly so
to give it a Naked look. The original headlight was replaced
by an LED headlight for which they constructed a holder where they
also installed the new Mini indicators. The original speedometer was
equipped with a new holder as well. The Hornig's fork crash
protectors protect the fork of the motorcycle in the case of a crash
and their dash pad with a Carbon look saves the triple clamp from
scratches caused by keys.
They replaced the original handlebar by a Magura handlebar where
they mounted fancy wooden grips and new rear mirrors. To protect the
cylinders, they installed their own black engine covers and their
petrol cap pad in Carbon look also avoids or covers scratches at the
petrol cap. The side stand foot enlargement guarantees a secure
stand of the motorcycle and the black oil filler plug with Hornig's
emblem creates another small visual highlight. In addition, they
mounted their shift lever and brake lever extensions to give a
better surefootedness to the rider when shifting or braking.
Since they removed the passenger foot pegs and the original exhaust holder
when they trimmed the rear frame, they manufactured a special exhaust support
and mounted a black, short GPR exhaust instead of the original silencer. The
manifolds of the motorcycle were varnished in black and the heel guard of the
R1200R was equipped with a silver heel guard pad. To further improve the look of
the bike, they removed the black suspension cover and added various silver
anodized aluminium parts, like for example frame covers, telelever end caps and
swing arm pivot covers, which seal the open holes in the frame. The Scrambler
look is completed by tyres with lug tread (Continental; 120/70-17-M/C58QTL,
180/55-17M/C73QTL).
