The striking bright orange patina paintwork, is brightest around the headlight and roughest where your knees meet the tank. Dark scuffs gather along the lower edges and around the knee recesses, giving the BMW the look of an old enduro bike that’s spent years being ridden hard.
Set against the South Devon coast, the colour is loud enough to hold its own against a sapphire blue sea.
Kevils Speed Shop has been building custom BMW boxers in Paignton since 2010. On this one, the familiar flat twin has plenty of room to show itself. The ribbed cylinder-head covers sit out in the open and the exhaust curls around the left cylinder before sweeping up to a high-mounted BOS silencer. From the side, that rising pipe follows the line of the rear tyre and fills the space beneath the short tail.
Up front, the paint runs from the round, grilled headlight down to the slotted fork guards. Those guards reach almost to the front axle, pulling the orange down into a chassis dominated by black and bare metal. Rubber fork gaiters, handguards and block-tread tyres on wire-spoked wheels give it the stance of a proper scrambler.
The tail is barely longer than the ribbed solo saddle, with a flick of orange above the back wheel. That short rear end leaves the tyre and exhaust in full view and makes the tank look even bigger. It’s the tank you notice first, but the little pieces of orange scattered around the bike are what hold the whole thing together. The finish has the battered look of a bike you’d happily park outside the workshop in a squall, then take the long way home once it passed.
