BlueMax a 1982 BMW R80 Cafe Racer build.
The donor bike for this Cafe Racer is reputably the best and smoothest of the BMW airheads benefitting from a light weight flywheel, twin front disc brakes, improved telescopic forks and 5 speed gearbox. The originally bike had only 57k documented miles and was bought in good roadworthy condition specifically for the project.
From the outset it was the intention to retain the character and charm of the original bike applying a sympathetic conversion similar to that of a true Cafe Racer. Hours of research, labour and dedication to the build has been rewarded by a unique and notably head turning Cafe Racer, BLUEMAX.
