There is something truly grand with Google translate's ability to not quite get it right, but you get the jist, so to speak!
"Designed and implemented on the basis of a bmw k100 / 1 in the summer of 2014
moonlighting is a taboo break in our development work: four cylinder? - These are (at least) two motorcycles - was firmly anchored in our mission statement. now - are taboo to be broken because obviously to. We have accepted the challenge - so to speak, in moonlighting ...
There are only a few international work that meet k100 from our point of view the specific lines of - we have the ball taken and put our concept, the result of our work, here before:
As with all our work it was about to leave untouched technology and appreciate their quality.
the factory line implementation of this motorcycle is now about 30 years old, with a little face lift in the development of the so-called k1, from this motorcycle has technically benefits (four-valve technology, para lever, abs, ...)
we have emphasized these lines, as we have further strengthened, we have taken any color from the image, down to the last detail, and thus made even more shape in the foreground.
parts that interfered with this form, we have omitted or simply replaced by coarse lochblech, the motorcycle was transposed into his clenched presence into the 21st century - just a little better (we think)
the (for this time very) complex electrical system is presented in restrained modern electronics: the noble handlebar end blinkers in solid metal housing are only visible in the running, but then very good. speedometer, tachometer, etc. are minimalist but very visible (with touchscreen and hidden setup micro switch). the sweeping and slightly downwardly inclined handlebar gives the motorcycle lightness and sporty elegance.
the very bright main headlights is discreetly hidden fork tubes between, so the attention is increasingly drawn to the concentrated power in the center of the motorcycle
the deep-tread tires make a deliberate counterpoint - we have no functioning bike, no rennmotorrad and no built long distance cruiser, but a motorcycle that needs to be seen and driven."
