"Strasse"

1979 BMW R100 RS

"Based on a BMW R100 RS from 1979, the Fuel R100 Strasse (“Street” in German) was commissioned by Pablo, an enthusiast of classic motorcycles, restless traveler and fan of Apple products. He dreamed [of] a motorcycle where aesthetics have more relevance than performance. A bike to get around the streets of Barcelona and even for some of the dirt tracks that you can find around. A bike to look at and be seen.

The basic idea in terms of design was to get a motorcycle with simple and clean lines, where each part of the bike was very defined by color or materials. So for example, the tank and fenders are a block. The engine was totally painted for getting another visual block. The chassis and subframe in sand color is another one."

"The tank was a very important part for the look of the bike. We made a lot of tests using different techniques to get an aged metal aspect, which was finally achieved using Bitumen of Judea plus a clear coat for protection. A powerful and small lithium battery was hidden in the air filter box to get a cleaner design. On the right side of the box a little battery disconnector was adapted and installed. The headlight is from a classic trials motorcycle. A powerful Motogadget speedometer was installed and the ignition was relocated on the side. The rear taillight was installed inside the seat for a cleaner look. On one side of the bike is a small metal case built in Poland. It gives a military look to the bike.
