BMW R80 ROA

Our custom motorbike crush today comes from Spanish garage ROA Motorcycles. This custom BMW R80 is their latest masterpiece, a mix of classic, cafe racer and scrambler styles. The talented ROA team striped it down to its essentials, and fitted it with a minimalist dash with a T&T speedo, a custom faux-suede seat, LED brakes light that hover above the new plate holder, and some chunky tires. They finished it of with a beautiful blue and matte back paint scheme that ties everything together beautifully.
