Classical Style Cool Motorcycle: BMW R 18 Transcontinental Custom Motor Made By Paul Yaffe

JAKARTA - The world of motorcycle custom is again treated to the latest work by the maestro, Paul Yaffe. This time, Yaffe transformed the BMW R 18 Transcontinental into a ride breathing a classic hot rod that stunningly hit the eye. This motorbike was recently exhibited at the MBE Show Verona, Italy.

Yaffe, a familiar name in the custom world, is known for its cold hands creating a machined "masterpiece". Yaffe is a visionary designer armed with experience from 1991 and a myriad of awards from caughty Roadster Show to the Sturgis Hall of Fame.

Reporting from the BMW Group release, efforts to create this work were also not kidding where before starting Yaffe spent time getting to know the BMW R18 Transcontinental character, he also drove more than 10 thousand kilometers across the United States.

His latest work this time is not just a custom. The BMW R 18 Transcontinental is redefined. The result? The perfect combination between the old hot rod aesthetics and BMW's signature DNA.

The front wheel is 26 inches in diameter with massive aluminum carvings combined to match the 180mm handmade tires. The number of motorbikes is extended and tilted, ensuring that the handling remains optimal. Not to forget, custom components such as the front steel feder, the front fairing of the concoction results themselves, and the "Yaffe Monkey Bars" handle further emphasize the character of this motor.

Classical hot rod touch doesn't stop there. The air suspension and side exhaust are important elements that perfect the appearance of the gahar. The custom exhaust system mixes nicely with BMW's typical head pipe Boxer, resulting in a loud sound that will definitely make anyone turn around.

Not only that, Yaffe also pays attention to the details of beauty. Smooth and smooth body finishing is like a glass wrapped in an elegant black glossy color. A touch of contrast comes from the classic red-blood interior on the seat and dashboard console.

To note, Paul Yaffe is the founder of the American Legend Motorcycle Company and Paul Yaffe's Bagger Nation. He also won 3 awards "World's Most Beautiful Motorcycle" on the Kibel Roadster Show. And his custom motorbike appeared in more than 300 magazines, Discovery Channel, and History Channel.
