Custom paintwork is a feature across the range resulting in four very striking motorcycles that will undoubtedly turn heads on the street. To some the appearance may be too flash, but to others (including several in the office) it will look brilliant.

The unique paint schemes have been designed to evoke the model’s predecessors and the rich history of the BMW Group over the last 100 years.

The custom paint jobs of the GS models were inspired by the 1980s Dakar models while the others were influenced by the styling of ‘70s bikes such as the R90S and R100RT.

All models were showcased at the MCN London Motorcycle Show and are now available to order from BMW Motorrad Centres.
