\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I made this BMW Cafe racer sketch just for sake to understant what is the idea and philosophy behind cafe racer culture and design. I read articles about how to design cafe racer and what are the ”rules” for it. A lot of youger I used to drive moped and dirt bikes, but haven’t driven proper motorcycle ever. So I liked much about history and culture behind cafe racing. I decided to base my design for 80’s BMW R100. (read more about BMW R100 here.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

So I made this sketch for fun and dropped it on to my online portfolio. Almost a year went by before something unexpected happened. I got contacted by gentleman from southern U.S. and he was asking would I be interested to make some sketches for him to build his own cafe racer. So he gave me brief about his thoughts and I sketched several options. Here you can see the final design below.<\/p>\n

He built the bike by himself and had to make some changes for the design during the building process.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Building took some time, but finally He sent some pictures about the bike fully assembled and ready to hit the road.<\/p>\n

It was fun to help and see the design finally in real. Thank you Gaston for this opportunity and thank you letting me help you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
