BMW K100 xaver custom scrambler by titan motorcycles

based on a 1986 BMW ‘K100’ scrambler, titan motorcycle’s adds a darker shade of finesse with handmade aluminum parts to the ‘xaver’ custom bike. the austria-based garage chose something that was completely different in almost every single way to their client’s tastes in this build. in the end, the customer rode out what is considered one of the most unique BMW bikes we’ve seen.

titan motorcycles found a great base model for the build: a BMW ‘K100 luxury tourer’ with just 21,000 km on the clock, having had one owner. stripping the motorcycle bare in no time,  it decided to create a very dark bike. it removed the frame and prepared the whole drivetrain for matte black paint, along with the engine, and gearbox covers. the garage then had the task of completely rebuilding the frame behind the engine mount, plus the mounting points for the rear shock.

for weight reduction it has removed the wiring loom and figured out how to reduce it to the absolute minimum. it also seems that the owner was a bit of a tech-head, so the garage installed a motogadget ‘motoscope pro’ digital dash display, a USB charger, and a keyless igntion system. the bespoke aluminum parts comprise the front faring housing the LED spotlights peeking through, and the passenger seat cover. but perhaps the real highlight is the re-shaped gas tank with those small vent covers. in the end almost 40kg of weight was shed from ‘xaver’, so its handling is tremendously improved.
