BMW F800R Motorcycle

This is a wicked looking BMW F800R that was built for some rich dude in Russia. As we can see this BMW received a total makeover, who wants a motorcycle that looks like everyone else’s right? Below is the stock BMW F800R motorcycle and I have to say it is pretty sweet and if this was in my garage I would love it.

Vilner has taken the time to give the BMW F800R a once over to create the beast you see below known as the Predator. The motorcycle received a complete aesthetic redesign with plenty of components now made from carbon fiber.

There is an amazing blend of composite and chrome below. The company’s engineers set about shortening the motorcycle by almost 10 inches. Vilner also changed the dual saddle for a single solo seat and remade the headlight setup. Some really sweet LED’s have replaced the standard stock headlight bulbs, and a set of repurposed BMW Z4 turning indicators are now part of the action.

The Predator motorcycle remains largely unchanged mechanically, though Vilner threw in a really cool hand-built exhaust setup. This motorcycle yields around 87 horsepower from it’s beefy 800cc power-plant. Check out the video and images below.

Old School Kick Start Bobber Motorcycle

I would hate to have to do a quick stop for anything on this bobber motorcycle. I am afraid I would rack my nuts on the tank. I really like this bobber though as it does have a cool setup but I am not a fan of ridged frame motorcycles. I really like a soft-tail motorcycle and that is what this bike is not. The tank is unique and has a great look to it. The dropped handlebars and the left side mirror. I am not sure what engine is in this bobber and if anyone knows please let me know would you. Overall I like this bobber, I really dig the exhaust as I have never seen anything like that before.

If anyone can spot that engine and tell me more about it please do.

Yamaha XVS650 Custom 2007 Bobber Motorcycle

This sweet bobber motorcycle was sent in by Tim Purton. He has had this bike since 2008 and has changed a ton of things on it to give it that bobber look. He gave it the Anarchy paint job with the flat blak paint on the tank and everywhere else. The handlebars have changed to RSD handlebars that have a nice rise to them. Not the huge ape hanger bars on this motorcycle.

When Tim sent me this bobber I was surprised that he used Blue Collar Bobbers, I am glad cause they are only a few miles down the road from me. He used Blue Collar Bobbers for the rear fender and the solo seat. The carb was re-jetted, and the stock exhaust has the baffle taken out so it exceeds some states sound tolerances so be carful if you are traveling outside of your locality. Some police get very testy about noise laws in their areas. The tail light is a Sparto tail light.

Overall if you look below and compare it to the stock motorcycle you will see that this bike has had a good amount of work done to it. The only main thing I wanted to see on this bike was safety and that rear view mirror is there on the left hand side. Safety is a huge issue for me as the spring turns into summer and there are so many accidents on the road. May is Motorcycle Awareness Month so lets all watch out for each other, cars, and anything else that can move on the road.

So after looking at this bobber I would rate it a 5 out of 5. Anyone who keeps the mirror on and the rear breaking lights while turning a motorcycle into a bobber deserves to have their bobber become a top 10 bobber of 2012.
