BMW R 80 RT from Dirk Ohlerking

Dirk Ohlerking is considered a creative screwdriver with plenty of talent. His latest work: a BMW R 80 RT. With turbo and full fairing, the Biedermann becomes a retro cracker.

D.he Gelsenkirchener Dirk Ohlerking has been a fixture in the scene for years with his conversions under the “Kingston Custom” label. All BMWs that leave his workshop have a very special line in common. Somehow historical, definitely stylish, without question timelessly elegant.

But because standing still means going backwards, Dirk wanted to push the boundaries further. Because in the current conversion hype, in which old BMWs are often in the spotlight, it has become difficult to set highlights without hackneyed quotes or ideas from the continuous loop. So it was a task to make something really new out of a fully clad R 80 RT.

2nd place at the Custom Bike World Cup

His weakness for turbos did not let go of him with the "White Phantom" either. The 800 engine is therefore supplied with gasoline and compressed air via the turbine, an aluminum air box and long, double-walled intake pipes. When exhaling, a bend just 20 centimeters long in front of the driver’s knee helps.

Not only is the technology special, but Dirk’s design philosophy as well: He uses design elements that are more in line with the time 100 years ago – keyword Art Deco. A slim, white shell surrounds the frame, making it almost disappear. The wheels hang in a reduced chassis that denies its function just like the rest of the bike. Everything seems veiled, hidden by curved sheet metal.

Dirk wanted to make a statement: "Look, you can still invent something completely new in 2016." His wonderfully pointless machine with slick on the rear and front wheel of a Honda XL 500 came second in the AMD World Champion of Custom Bike Building at INTERMOT 2016. Congratulations!
