Bavarian Café BMW R100 LSB ~ Return of the Cafe Racers

Some people profess to being obsessed by a brand because they own 2 or 3 things said brand has made. Then there's those people who say they like the brand but in actual fact know more about the brand than most of its employees do. Brandon Mungai "likes" BMW motorcycles. He owns a few and regularly builds pristine Cafe Racers out of them, he contributes to a magazine all about them, is an authorised dealer of big name European and Japanese parts made for them and will happily restore and recondition your BMW if you wanted him to.

1951 Vincent Rapide

The Vincent Rapide is widely remembered as one of the first truly modern motorcycles, it used foot controls for gear changes, it had cantilever rear suspension, it used the engine as a stressed frame member and was fitted with a 4-speed transmission.
As many of the Vincents saw time on the race track, special wheels were developed that were quick to remove and replace, the rear wheel was also reversible – allowing a rider to quickly change rear-sprocket ratios by flipping the wheel and loading the chain onto the sprocket mounted on the other side of the wheel.
