In the heart of Los Angeles, amidst the bustling streets and creative energy, Saint Joshua’s BMW K 100 cafe racer, affectionately named “The Konig,” emerges as a beacon of innovation and craftsmanship. Inspired by his time immersed in Berlin’s motorcycle culture, Joshua’s passion for two-wheelers finds its ultimate expression in this remarkable build.
The Konig, born from a 1997 K 100, transcends conventional boundaries, blending timeless elegance with contemporary design. At its core lies Joshua’s unwavering dedication to redefining the cafe racer genre, with each modification meticulously crafted to raise both form and function.
The exterior of The Konig reflects meticulous attention to detail, with custom bodywork seamlessly integrated to evoke a sense of neo-retro charm. A reworked fuel tank, minimalist front and rear ends, and distinctive LED lighting contribute to its unmistakable identity, while a handcrafted exhaust system ensures a symphony of performance and style.
In the cockpit, modern functionality meets classic design, with a digital display and bespoke controls complementing the cafe racer aesthetic. Premium materials abound, from the leather upholstery to the laced aftermarket wheels, creating an ambiance of luxury and refinement.
Beneath the surface, The Konig boasts a potent inline-four powerplant, its internals meticulously inspected and rebuilt to ensure optimal performance. Upgrades to the intake and exhaust further enhance its capabilities, delivering a thrilling ride that pays homage to BMW’s rich heritage while embracing modern innovation.
