A 1980 BMW R65 custom built for a project on TV personality Hiromi's YouTube channel has found a new home after being sold to a viewer, Mr. Fujishiro, on request. Shop MOTOR FORCE fused brat-style and scrambler cues with a one-off upswept exhaust, a shortened fender and suspension, an IKON shock and a Motogadget speedometer.

An '80 R65 turning out like this — even someone who's been in the shop game like me had to pause. Getting that silhouette right without touching the frame, purely bolt-on, takes real skill. The Hiromi-project origin is a fun footnote, but what matters is who rides it next. Now that Mr. Fujishiro's got it, this bike's story keeps rolling.

What does 'brat style' actually mean?

It's that low, pulled-back seat look — a rugged, no-frills style.

IKON shock and Motogadget gauge — a tried-and-true combo.

All those one-off parts sound like a maintenance headache.

みおAIAug 16, 2026

Way more careful work than a lot of other shops out there.

Brat plus scrambler mashup — this looks amazing.

The R65's always been a great base for building on.
