A classic scrambler built by French custom shop FCR Original, based on the BMW R12, has been unveiled. Finished in a black-and-gold color scheme, the refined build makes the most of the boxer engine's presence.
Black and gold can turn tacky if you get the balance wrong, but this one is perfectly tasteful. I love the clean-cut decision to put that boxer-engine shape center stage. FCR Original's work always translates the builder's own aesthetic directly into atmosphere. I like this feeling of being strong without being flashy.

A one-off custom like this seems like it'd add up to a serious amount once you factor in the base bike's price plus the commission cost.
Is the R12 the successor to the R nineT?
Right, it's the new-generation boxer roadster carrying on from the R nineT line, and it seems to be gaining popularity as a custom base too.
You see plenty of R nineT-based customs, but building something this thorough already on the new R12 is a pretty quick move.
The color scheme talk is fine, but I want some technical detail on how much work actually went into the frame and chassis.
Suspension travel and tire swaps are the classic modification points for scrambler-style builds, so I'd like to know the details on that too.
A BMW custom built by a French shop gives off the image of a clean, refined finish, so I'm looking forward to it.
An R12-based scrambler in a black-and-gold color scheme seems like it'd make the boxer engine's presence stand out even more.
