There is a SURF shop called, “6/5/4 Motors” in Stockholm having a motorcycle workshop right underneath. Despite of the not so good location, the shop has served some amazing Scandinavian designs in two-wheelers. Recently, they have built BMW R75/5 for a local Psychologist.
The bike reached the shop few years back and remained unused for some time. So, the first task for the shop workers was to make that bike running on the roads. After few months, a local psychologist came, specifically looking for BMW R75. He requested some minor changes and left everything else to the 6/5/4 Motors. Later, the sketch for the bike was made and the deal was sealed.
To turn the R75 into the desired shape, it was completely torn down into nuts and bolts. The engine was repaired, the valves were adjusted and the new electronic ignition along with timing set was installed. To keep it running sweet, a new battery was put into the custom made box under the swingarm. Exhaust was also upgraded with reverse cone mufflers set.
The designers then fabricated a new sub-frame, which was shorter and narrower than the original one. Rest of frame was de-tabbed and cleaned up and then sandblasted and repainted.
The cockpit of the bike was supremely de-cluttered and the big BMW switches have been chucked into small switches. The wiring was done inside the stylish MX bars and the ultra convenient keyless m-lock ignition system was added.
The Daytona Velona Speedo and Biltwell Inc grips keep the things minimal and stylish. Even the headlight and tail lights have been slimmed down along with mini turn signals.
For the fenders, it is bobbed with the pair of Triumph Bonneville items. For the comfort of the rider, it was added with Hagon shocks and Bridgestone Trailwings tyres with a trials-style pattern. It has a complete taste of modernity, but it is the colour scheme, which sets the BMW apart. 6/5/4 motors mixed the mint-turquoise combo for the frame and it is the only splash of colours.
The rest of the motorcycle is black, with off-white for the lights and a mix of polish finishes for the engine. The tank of the bike is in matte black colour having white pinstripe with the logo of 6/5/4 motors in place of BMW. You can actually find the crisp of elegance in this design, which develops the 6/5/4 signature.
