™
American Dynotune nitrous system – not quite how the good citizens of Irbit (or BMW for that
matter) had originally envisioned it being powered!
The ultralight 23 inch rake frame, swingarm and wheels (FCM 21 inchers front and rear with 80
and 120 Avons respectively) are handmade in titanium and aluminum and bolted together –
there is no welding, but there are over 220 handmade titanium nuts and bolts on this bike!
The fairing is handmade in aluminum; the gas tank is CNC-machined aluminum; there
is no paint on ‘Bonny, just metal finish and anodizing.
The brakes are British, from the bicycle industry, ‘Hope’ 6Ti rear and 6Ti
dual on the front, with FCM made stainless steel rotors; the rear
suspension is also from the bicycle industry – Cane Creek double
barrel shocks with modified titanium springs.
The front end is from a 2005 Kawasaki ZX-636 (of course
it is!), and the BMW ‘Angle’ gearbox is off a K1220R that
wasn’t using it at the time, with an Ultima 6-speed
right side belt drive.
Sponsored by ‘ECCO’, the UK based footwear and
accessories brand, ‘Bonny’ won the 2015 Moscow
Custom and Tuning Show (an AMD World
Championship Affiliate event) and has raced at
Bonneville.
