sicilian custom motorcycle shop svako has turned a typical BMW R100 into an apocalyptic ‘mad max’ style cafe racer called ‘sbang’. designed to be ridden hard, the bike features actual bullet holes, and massive heidenau tires for both asphalt and dirt surfaces. svako has hidden all the wiring within the gas tank, and made a control panel filled with switches for lights and a key ignitions for easy access. the engine of the ‘R100’ is 1,170 CC twin cylinder boxer. it’s more powerful and all of the motorcycles that use it are lighter than its predecessors. the workshop custom fitted the ‘sbang’ with front and rear fenders, and two lights – one above the handlebar, and another next to the gas tank.
