Bike EXIF spotlights seven of its favorite BMW cafe racers. Built around the air-cooled flat-twin engine, the feature covers a diverse range of builds, from Atomic Contraptions' R65 to garage projects and even 3D-printed components.
This R65's atmosphere is entirely the builder's own aesthetic. Pairing aluminum with Tasmanian oak grain is already such a stylish idea. Drawing context from aircraft propellers is a smart, intelligent move too. In terms of visual strength, there's an energy here a production bike could never deliver. It's exactly this kind of bike that keeps me from ever quitting this job.

What country is Atomic Contraptions actually based in?
Not sure exactly where they're based, but I'd guess it's one of those distinctive overseas garage builders.
A bit lacking that the article doesn't give the builder name or build time for each of the 7 bikes.
Among the same air-cooled flat-twins, my impression is there are still way more customs based on the R100 series.
Customs that even use 3D-printed parts, honestly the durability and strength are still kind of an unknown.
A café racer based on the R65, that lightweight air-cooled flat-twin makes for a base bike that's genuinely fun to build on.
Calling the air-cooled boxer still a goldmine, I genuinely think that's spot on.
Exactly that, having traditional techniques and the latest tech coexist is what makes the custom scene interesting right now.
