MOBILITY/MOTORBIKES: Conversion 1: Customizing Contest 2022: BMW Motorrad Deutschland shows thirteen conversions from thirteen BMW Motorrad partners in Germany.
It is the second edition of the Customizing Contest: Germany is looking for the best custom bike. Thirteen BMW Motorrad partners will be showing their conversions. In 2021, there was already a very successful contest with beautifully polished designs. Based on the cruiser icon R 18.
This year’s contest also features the legendary R nineT. After all, this bike is also perfectly suited for a conversion. In total, there are eight BMW R 18s and five BMW R nineTs.
Each company had 3 months to put their ideas into practice. A short period of time, but in the process 13 very different Soulfuel bikes were created. From the oldschool heritage bike with Springer fork based on the BMW R 18 to the sporty BMW RnineT as a basic model.
The winner of this contest has not yet been decided. The community can vote until 11 December. Visitors can not only vote for their favourite to win, but will also be entered into the lottery for the BMW R 18 annual prize draw.
The conversions in detail:

Really rideable, but still exciting – that was the motto for Ronny Jelitte, Bastian Franke and Max Koller when building their R 18 Edition #01. Including planning, parts procurement and conversion, the team invested a total of around 90 hours and the result was an R 18 in bobber style that has it all. The short, compact rear end lives from a Walzwerk Bobber Kit in conjunction with a side licence plate holder from Wunderlich and the Corio upholstery shop in Metzingen made a matching seat in Scotch-coloured buffalo leather. The good sound is provided by a Jekill & Hyde Beat Short Slashcut flap exhaust in conjunction with ceramic-coated exhaust manifolds. Black engine covers and add-on parts, the BMW Beachbar handlebar as well as headlight cover, hand lever and fuel filler cap in 2tone Black from the Original BMW Motorrad Accessories range round off the conversion. As the icing on the cake, the Petrolo company in Kusterdingen gave the R 18 Edition #01 a special paint job in 312 British Racing Green, which in combination with the Metzeler ME 888 Marathon Ultra White Wall tyres makes for a real feast for the eyes.
