A Belgian client approached Sloviakia’s Earth Motorcycles to build a truly special Beemer. This 1983 R100 “Budzogan” keeps the wonderfully shaped tank and gives it a new paint job, pinstriping, and Earth Motorcycles badge. The rest of the bike is true to the era but more rugged with short tank-matching fenders, black wire wheels, and knobby tires. The 980cc boxer twin engine was overhauled, and a titanium Akrapovič HP muffler on the rustically insulated exhaust system. Many parts of the bike have been given a tough, matte Cerakote finish, and matching leather grips and saddle round out this truly bespoke urban speedster. Whoever the anonymous owner of the commissioned Budzogan is, he certainly has a head-turner on his hands.
