In the past year, four known Japanese customizers have put the BMW R nineT spectacularly in show with their outstanding creations. And now another very interesting program has been kick-started with the help of Japanese customizers and it’s called the ‘Ignite Straight Six‘. The project included two awesome looking concept motorcycles based on the BMW K 1600 GTL with six-cylinder engine of a displacement of 1649 cc. Leading Japanese customizers, Kenji Nagai of Ken’s Factory and Keiji Kawakita of Hot-Dock Custom-Cycles, where in charge of interpreting the K 1600 GTL’s six-cylinder engine a completely different way. Kenji Nagai’s creation named ‘Ken’s Factory Special’ relies on hand-made aluminum girder-type front forks raked out in chopper style using a modified headstock. Keiji Kawakita’s ‘Juggernaut’ is a complete contrast by way of its dark, masculine stature. In a spectacular way, project Ignite Straight Six continues the engagement and the ideas of the customizing scene in the land of the rising sun. BMW Motorrad can’t wait to see the impetuses both the new creations are giving and what kind of new projects the future is going to bring.
