The Conversion Of The BMW S1000R From Hornig

Cham, Germany, September 5, 2014 (Newswire.com) - The BMW S1000R is a sporty naked bike which offers enormous scope for individualisation options. Just the thing for the motorcycle accessories specialist Hornig from Cham who has already convinced with several conversions. So the family business took the initiative and has created its own version of the BMW S1000R.

As part of this modification two things were important for the company: On the one hand the sport bike should become more comfortable and suitable for touring, on the other hand the specialists wanted to create a bike that stands out from the crowd. A unique motorcycle has been created that combines sportiness and comfort. To achieve the stated requirements regarding touring capabilities, they have mounted another windshield at first that ensures more wind protection and improved ergonomics by leading the air not over the driver but ensuring that the helmet is constantly in the wind.

Furthermore the Gilles Tooling Footrest System was installed that grants you a better seating position. For maximum convenience the altered seat takes account. In addition a tank bag with easy and fast ring-mounting provides sufficient storage space on a trip.

The converted BMW S1000R has also a GPS holder which was mounted on the handlebars and fits for all common motorcycle GPS devices. The mirror extensions improve the visibility. For protection from rock fall on the cooler there is a radiator grille. Protectors on engine, swing arm and fork prevent damage during a fall.

Not only the conspicuous paint is a real eye-catcher but also the polished oil filler plug, the blue Synto brake and clutch lever, as well as the small LED front turning signals and the grey LED rear light create further visual highlights. For the throaty sound and enough power the stainless steel exhaust HyperCone from Remus is responsible.

This conversion can be seen live at the Intermot in Cologne from 1. to 5. October 2014 or at the business location of Hornig in Cham.
