The Design
Evolution

The build began with a crucial upgrade to the front end. Rather than modify the original forks, we sourced a 2018 CBR1000RR front end, complete with Nissin calipers and Galfer rotors. This modern foundation would provide superior handling and braking while offering a more muscular aesthetic

Seba continued with the experimentation using two 1970s KZ cowls to perfect the proportions. The goal was clear: create a sporty, aggressive solo-seater without leaning too much into common race bike aesthetics. A defining design element emerged – a bold line running from front to back.

The finished motorcycle represents more than just a custom build – it's a philosophical statement about breaking traditional boundaries in automotive design.

By merging Mercedes-Benz aesthetic elements with BMW mechanics, Seba created something entirely new while respecting both brands' heritage. The bike maintains its clear identity as a BMW airhead, but with an unexpected twist that only those with a keen eye for design might fully appreciate.
