In the world of custom bikes, there is hardly anyone more qualified to work magic on an old-school BMW than Incerum Customs. The Croatian workshop is run by Antonio Ferhatovic and it won't be the first time we've featured their projects here on autoevolution. Incerum is one of those companies whose work you simply can't ignore, because they manage to make every single creation come straight out of the ballpark.
The awesome BMW shown above wasn’t commissioned by a customer, but instead was assembled for the shop’s head mechanic. He was looking for a fun, reliable machine that would be suitable for both the road and the track, choosing a BMW K 100 as a starting point. Once the donor was dismantled, the team’s focus turned to the build first.
Antonio and his teammates cleaned up the main frame section, replacing the rear subframe with a much shorter alternative developed in-house. The entire skeleton was then covered in a layer of matte black powdercoating, just like the swingarm, fork sliders and engine covers. Moving on to the bodywork, Incerum retained none of the original elements apart from the fuel tank.
Minimalism is the name of the game for the updated outfit, with a small tail section now positioned at the rear. It incorporates the repurposed taillight from a BMW K 1200 RS, but the license plate will now live low down on a swingarm-mounted bracket. The front of the bike is also dressed to impress, with an aftermarket twin headlight arrangement originally made for the R 1250 GS.
Further down, there’s a hand-built fender, just big enough to do its job properly. The space between the fuel tank and the tail is filled with a slim seat covered in black Alcantara, and a series of perforated metal add-ons are found throughout the bike. In the cockpit area, there’s an aftermarket handlebar equipped with Motogadget grips and bar-end indicators.
It also gets a single rearview mirror on the left side and the cockpit hardware is neatly finished with a single round dial. The K 100's suspension has also received a complete overhaul, with the front forks rebuilt and the rear shock absorber replaced with a modern unit. The Incerum facelift has also made its presence felt in the unsprung sector with completely revamped brakes.
As for the powertrain, the inline-four engine has been overhauled and then fitted with a custom exhaust system. New coolant hoses and a custom overflow canister have also been added, while the ergonomics have been completed with CNC-machined rearsets. Finally, a stunning white and blue color scheme adorns the creature’s bodywork, with the latter hue also appearing on the wheels and left engine cover.
