Cafe Racer (BMW K1100 LT by Mitch Witkamp)

[@mitchwitkamp]

Vitor you are a legend. Thank you for taking the time to feature my build. Your video edits are always premium! Well done!

[@dondarko7885]

Well done mate. Wow what work of art!!! Admiring your master piece from where the roos roam.

[@RACER_TV]

@Mitch Witkamp Dear Mitch, thank you so much for your very kind words. It is always a pleasure for me, to have the opportunity to present amazing projects like your BMW. Thank you Mitch for all your help, with your excellent photos and videos sequences.:) I wish you the best.

Amazing work. 👏

[@ASLackey22]

I’m at work on break looking at this and I’m in love!! Amazingly beautiful bike! Hoping to get my own BMW K bike very soon.

[@mariusc6423]

A spectacular project, the most complex presented so far in this cafe racer universe - Racer TV, congrats to the designer, thank you Racer TV

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers. But I think this one is even more complex. :)kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5vNaoebgb6Bmq8

[@lylemacdonald6672]

I think one could argue this bike is actually the antithesis of a cafe racer: it was made more complicated and busy looking; definitely not stripped down simplicity. Nonetheless, a lot of thought and skill went into this machine. That exhaust manifold is somewhat overwhelming and if this bike was mine I would have to call it "Medusa".

[@RACER_TV]

Well thought. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.

[@danielkeel9265]

I guess the question there would be: does it still weigh less than the complete standard k1100lt?

[@colinlawrence2186]

That is truly amazing custom bike the builder is a true visionary with amazing skill set and passion for detail Take care stay safe and God bless 🙋🏻‍♂️🇬🇧🇺🇸

Clean, crisp, purposeful design, I like it very much.

[@georgemcmillan9172]

Upon seeing this bike lit up in the dark, visions if Tron swirl about in the air. With his lack of experience and proper machinery, this beautiful handcrafted machine is far beyond a street bike, it is pure art. All of the acryilic panels, backlit with leds, the minute details that you have to look for, just go to show his genious. As for the exhaust pipes, the segmented style invoke the images of powerful talons of a great predatory bird, and the sound of them futher gives the beastial nature of his design. I fir one would like to see more if his work in the future featured in this channel. In the pantheon of custom builders in the world, he is definately chomping at the heels of greatness..

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you. I'm glad you liked so much my friend. :) Cheers.

This is certainly a very well thought out design and build. Obviously, he put an enormous amount of hours into this project. It’s really impressive to have been recognized at such a high level in the Roland Sands competition. Thank you for sharing this impressive build. And, as always, thank you for Racer TV, the Café racers only choice! Hope you and the family are all doing well. Take care my dear friend…. Cheers:)

Another very impressive build. The craftsmanship is outstanding. Artistically bold and in your face design. Mitch certainly deserves much fanfare from this build. With that said, do you suppose he`ll get invited to Christmas parades were he can insert color LED`s that illuminate Christmas colors fascinating all the girls and boys?

Thank you my friend for all your kind words. I appreciate your support. You are very insightful. It is not easy to keep the Chanel presenting with one single style of motorcycles. Because along the years, it get harder to find fresh and original cafe racer projects. But it is still the only style of motorcycles, about with I really love. :) Salute.

[@alejmonzon]

It is indeed a motorcycle that has to be seen to be believed. It's not that I'm a big fan of LED lighting, but this work uses it in a way that forces us to look for solutions with this technology that is here to stay. As for the construction process itself, it makes the old shoebox something light and dynamic. I love the sound that exhaust makes. the word would be: surprising

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you my friend Alejandro for sharing your perspective. :) I agree with you. Especially about the exhaust sound. One of the best K series exhaust sound I ever heard. :) Saludos.

My goal is to one day build a bike good enough to make your channel. Sorry my video footage wasn’t much to work with but you made an amazing video out of it! Obrigado from Utah, USA Ainda bem que a bicicleta dos meus amigos fez o corte. Foi uma experiência incrível trocar mensagens com ele durante o processo de construção e vê-lo se encaixar. Meu objetivo é um dia construir uma moto boa o suficiente para fazer seu canal. Desculpe, meu vídeo não foi muito para trabalhar, mas você fez um vídeo incrível! Obrigado de Utah, EUA

[@RACER_TV]

Hi. Very nice of you to write this message in Portuguese. Thank you my friend for your support. I presume you are the same person who said "give it Mitch" in one of the videos. Lol. If yes, your video footage is fine, especially the engine sound. It sounds very strong and deep, which is very rare to capture on most cameras microphone. About your goal of having your bike presented on this Channel, as you may understand, During the years, I became extremely demanding with the projects selected for the Channel. But send me a couple of photos by private message, on Racer TV Facebook page, and I will look at it. :) Congratulations for helping Mitch with this great BMW. :) Cheers.

Obrigado amigo Alex por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.

[@motomaniacobr]

Com o passar do tempo, as customizações vão fluindo para diferentes caminhos, mas este customizador, conseguiu unir muita criatividade com um toque de modernidade que os led´s passam ao observador, além de chamar muito a atenção, cria uma atmorfera de cruriosidade... uma peça unica, muito bonita.

[@RACER_TV]

Sem duvida. Embora eu admita que a quantidade de painéis de LED possa estar um pouco exagerada neste projecto, o importante é que o conceito geral funciona mesmo muito bem. Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.

[@robinsonpeixoto8521]

Logo no minuto 01:00, acho que muitos pensaram que era mais uma K100 da Retrorides.. 😄 A primeira coisa que vi nesse construtor, se posso chama-lo, foi bom gosto: independente do estilo abordado na customização, o resultado é bom.. e por mais chamativa que seja as soluções, elas casam tão bem com a proposta que não consegui achar exagerado.. e olha que sou minimalista e do time do "quanto mais sóbrio melhor". Se há algo que fiquei em dúvida, foram esses coletores de escape: sempre fui fã dessas curvas seccionadas mas aqui, nessa proposta futurista, possivelmente eu optaria por algo mais reto e direto.. e talvez o titânio ainda me proporcionasse o efeito chamativo desejado 😄 Bom, fim do ano, posso dizer que essa é o meu primeiro lugar do top 10 desse ano: nem tanto pelo design em absoluto, já que não é meu estilo favorito, mas a inventividade e o esmero desse construtor aos meus olhos é plenamente merecedor de tal posição. No mais, bom fim de ano para você e familia, amigo Vitor.. abraço e até a próxima.

[@RACER_TV]

Meu caríssimo amigo Robinson, Confesso que estou um pouco admirado por ter gostado tanto deste projecto. Digo isto porque eu sei que prefere ver projectos mais minimalistas. Mas compreendo também que o esforço e originalidade do Construtor "não profissional", tornam todo o projecto bastante especial. Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. Um grande abraço, com os desejos de Boas Festas, e Feliz Ano Novo para Você e Família. Muito obrigado. :)

They are almost perfect, but still need some adjustments. I also changed the seat color, from black to a very dark Brown leather, with a tiny touch of red. After experimenting this on some renders, I found that having a bit of color on the project , improves the overall look. :) Thank you for asking. :) Cheers.
