Some pretend that God is personally watching over the original condition of Bavarian motorcycles. But boxing fans know better: He loves all cows.

Those who drive with open funnels need neither an air filter housing nor a full-face helmet. That’s how it is.

More sport is hardly possible with an approved boxer from the 247 series: Krauser four-valve engine, cantilever swing arm.

The BMW line remains, but Krauser heads and many details ennoble this boxer.

Almost everything is represented at the Boxerkunst-Treffen 2013 at the Tonenburg: from deliberately neglected rat bikes to elegantly reduced bobbers and from slim supermotos to Dakar-like enduros to expensive sports suspensions with Krauser four-valve engines.

Even without heavenly assistance, a white and blue emblem on the tank usually protects against unskilled handicrafts. In any case, better than the company logos of other brands, and that makes perfect sense: A BMW R 50, R 80/7 or R 100 R also works great in today’s traffic, develops sufficient dynamics and proves itself better when traveling than many modern motorcycles.

Sure, one could argue about the shape and size of the standard indicators, the mudguards tend to get out of hand – but what else? Exactly, said the originality guards until a few years ago and only handed the hacksaw to those who absolutely wanted to be fast with a rubber cow. Open funnels and Dellorto carburettors, Munch brakes in the front wheel, Koni struts, lightened flywheel, sharper control times and Hoske bags made the boxer gain enormous strength. At Zabrocky, Fallert, Michel and many others there were even more fine things.

BMW R 50 and R 67 also came under the Flex

When today’s BMW conversion scene met at Tonenburg on the first weekend in July, the spectrum ranged from dirt track-influenced minimal bikes to sprawling cruisers, from deliberately neglected rat bikes to elegantly reduced bobbers and from slim supermotos to enduros close to the Dakar to too expensive equipped sports chassis with Krauser four-valve engine.

Even Bavarian urgent items had to serve as a basis, because it not only hit R 100 R or 75/6, no, R 50 and R 67 also came under the Flex. The one from Rolf Srech, for example, a gifted Berlin professional mechanic who fitted the old full swing arm with the engine of the BMW small car LS 700. Although it emerged from the R 67 boxer, it has intake ducts extending upwards due to the changed space available in the car.

Rolf installed the carburetors from the boxer engine of the Konig racing boats with appropriately positioned float chambers and KN air filters. Fallstrom in Bavarian, so to speak, and the sporty overall appearance fits in with it.

How cool is R 50/2?

Well mixed: 750 mm plain bearing motor in the chassis of an R 50/2.

While technical amusement dictated the way, the bobber by Ekkehard Heiss focused on the aesthetic idea: How cool is the R 50/2? Flat, painted in classy matt black, fat 750 mm plain bearing motor that has been robbed of its upper hood, KN air filter, single seat and casual handlebar, first-class craftsmanship. It’s damn cool, and it is by no means an isolated case: On the beautiful banks of the Weser, many a flat twin lolls on the side stand and doesn’t have to be afraid of the Big Twins from Lake Michigan. If you look at all the conclusive conversions that have been made, you wonder why the various design departments produce so much half-baked goods. So much so.

With their athletes, too, boxers seem to enjoy omitting them the most. Here and there a small windbreak may remain, otherwise the function – robbers on country roads – determines the wiry appearance. Only a second look reveals how much some devices have been upgraded. Jorg Lohmann’s Alpenbrenner, for example, which was built around two Mahle slipper pistons from Werner Fallert’s BoT stock. An R 100 RS housing found its new home in the R 100 R chassis, equipped with shortened cylinders, machined heads with really thick valves, sharp camshafts and, and, and. A feast for the eyes, of course, but thanks to the Akrapovic damper – raised of course – also a real ear flatterer. In any case, a sovereign winner at the meeting last year.

Bulging parking lot, dominated by 300 renovations

The best thing about the renovation is when everything works as planned afterwards. The second nicest, if others like it too. That’s why they came to Tonenburg, and that’s why everyone who likes can choose their conversion. Just the art of boxing. On the basis of the two-valve valve, that is sufficient as a connecting element. Most of the people here still feel connected to the forum of the same name (www.2-ventiler.de), but were happy to follow those who organized the first boxing art meeting nine years ago in order to offer the renovators their very own stage. Today Dirk Staubach and his friends are organizing this custom meeting, for the second time and probably forever at the ideally suited Tonenburg. And like last year, they marvel at a packed parking lot, dominated by 300 conversions, assisted by originals and friends of the brand who have so far still had to drive Ducati, Harley or whatever (Info: www.boxerkunst.de).

Wonderful mood. Very casual too, and that’s the program: According to Dirk, you want to consciously defend yourself against the unjust, staid image of the two-valve engine. And yet pay homage to some of the well-known BMW qualities. He calls the solid and screwdriver-friendly base, the comparatively golden spare parts situation and – yes, that too – the longevity. In addition, there are plenty of suitable base vehicles in Germany in particular, and because their visual condition does not play a major role for those who convert them, even at affordable prices. From 1500 euros for a complete copy, also from the authorities’ inventory, because they have always been well maintained. In the early days of boxing, the journey then mostly went in the direction of Cafe Racer, but like everywhere else in the world, the view has widened in the white and blue cosmos. Old Style probably best describes the hip design language, and two of these species put anyone who wanted to choose on the pedestal. A technically complex and incredibly clean mix of 50s and 70s components came in third, while a very nicely stripped R 75/5 came in second.

First place for a sport cow

The challenge cup for first place went to a sport cow. Dirk Segl presented the posh winner with a lightened valve train and double ignition, doped 980 cm³ engine, emaciated to 169 kilograms dry and guided by a WP extreme fork. But nothing there with Racer, Dirk has realized his Dakar-capable off-road dream based on an 82 G / S with reinforced HPN frame and extended swing arm. And many thought it was really great. Boxing hates stipulations. Boxing is free.
