BMW SROUL
This ’74 BMW R75/5 was found by us on behalf of the client who commissioned us for the project. When found, half of its engine was missing.
Still we saw a real “potential” in this dead bike.
That’s why we named it “Sroul“, which means “Black Magic” in Arabic.
It took us longer than usual to reach the final result we were seeking but the wait was worth it.
It shall now have a new life in the UK.
