BMW - R 100 R - Mermaid Special - 1000 cc - 1994
Deus Derrick
The owner's dreams began when he found an old BMW R80/7 used by the German Police. Before even defining the project, he had already chosen “Derrick” to be its name, inspired by the popular German crime Tv Series.
The goal was to create a bike cleared of all the unnecessary and give space to the "milk and mint" colour.
Everything has been refurbished and many parts are tailor-made, from the mount and buttons for the technologic motogadget speedometer (which is operated from a button located in the steering neck), the start button to the miniaturized light switches and "Old Style" levers that complete the look of the chromed front end.
The bike is characterized by many details like the coloured spark wires, the billet gas tank cap, the chamois leather seat, the bar-end turn signals and all the aluminium braces hugging the frame. The final touches were all about this tuned engine: to supply with fresh air the big Bing carburettors we’ve preferred to completely remove the airbox and use single cone filters, for the pleasure of a full and gloomy noise, almost police-esque
The vehicle is partly modified from his original setting:
Engine up to 1000cc, Open filters, Non homologated exhaust.
