BMW MOTORRAD IGNITE PROJECT Kens Factory

KEN’S FACTORY Kenji Nagai opted for drastic surgery on his K1600 GTL, creating a low-slung dragbike stripped to the essentials. The entire rear end of the frame is gone, and the front has been stretched and raked. There’s a custom-made billet girder fork up front, plus a one-off 23-inch aluminum alloy wheel hooked up to a custom 11.5-inch rotor.

It’s shod with 220-section Avon Cobra rubber.

Even the seat is aluminum—but this is not a bike for long distance touring.
