(from Vilner Press Release) Vilner Custom Bike Predator
Predator. It must be
strong to chase and kill, to dominate and survive. It must be
aggressive and wicked, to have athletic build, paralyzing gaze,
clear purpose and excellent achievements. In the cruel competition
of life, it must overpower firmly and pitilessly.
It was created by the BG studio that won worldwide recognition as a
titular in vehicle interior design. Vilner took up the challenge of
an eccentric Russian businessman, who lives and works in Bulgaria.
He is a motorbike fan and possesses one of the biggest and most
interesting collections of bikes in Bulgaria.
The VIP client didn’t like some details in the mass-produced bike.
He wanted a radical change in the headlights, which in his view
looked like a “WWII mask”; he wanted a distinguished, more
aggressive sound and a new, individual image for his F 800 R.
The base model, BMW F 800 R, is equipped with a 798-cubic four-cycle
engine, 87 hp and a six-level gear-box. The motorcycle can reach a
maximum speed of 200 km/h and its weight is 177 kg. The frame is
aluminum, the headlights are asymmetric, the breaks – Brembo with
320 mm disks.
The metamorphosis. Vilner Custom Bike Predator
It took 6 months for
three Vilner specialists to develop the design, create the model,
work out the details, finish and test their handmade work for the
creation of Predator. 17 new details were made – 9 of carbon and 8
chromium-plated.
The bike length is 25 cm shorter. It was made single-seated instead
of two-seated – with a wider and fully changed seat. The headlight
was remade – bi-xenon with red LED lights. The front blinkers were
taken from a BMW Z4 and built in the carbon. PREDATOR’s rear is with
joined blinkers, rear-lights and stop lamp. The rear tyre is wider.
The other grey elements of the mass-produced type are colored in
black.
Due to the lightness of carbon details, although upgraded, the bike
increased its weight with only 6.5 kg.
The exhaust pipe is handmade by BG partner company. The predator now has a furious roar – low and rotund, withering!
