Victim of rocket shelling of Kharkiv won BMW tuning championship (photo) en

Tuned in Ukraine, the BMW R18 motorcycle became the absolute winner of the BMW Motorrad Days customizing championship in Germany. The bike was damaged as a result of a Russian rocket attack on the BMW showroom in Kharkiv, but it received a second life. The shattered BMW R18 was pulled out from under the rubble of the BMW dealership in Kharkiv, which was hit by a Russian missile. It was decided not to scrap it, but to make it the basis for an interesting custom project. It was helped to be created in the Iron Custom Motors workshop in Kharkiv. The BMW R18 motorcycle was named Unbreakable. During its creation, both original BMW Motorrad accessories and specially created custom details were used. In particular, the masters of Iron Custom Motors developed new aluminum fairings, as well as a handlebar and footpegs. In addition, special forged wheels with a diameter of 23 inches in front and 21 inches at the rear were created. Also, the BMW R18 Unbreakable bike was adorned with a pixel ornament, and a plate with the autograph of Volodymyr Zelensky was installed on its fuel tank. The 1.8-liter 92-horsepower BMW R18 engine remained standard, but new radiators and exhaust systems were created for it. Moreover, Iron Custom Motors developed a rear air suspension for the motorcycle. Before the BMW Motorrad Days championship (which was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of BMW motorcycles), the Ukrainian bike toured Europe – it was showcased in Karlovy Vary, Warsaw, and Berlin.
