The first designs are spectacular, although finally the kit does not include the set of suitcases that BMW offers for this model, which can be purchased separately as an extra.

It looks like it, but it isn't. Driver Kristian Sohlberg has nothing to do with the Solberg brothers, but that didn't stop his superb performance at the 2006 Sardinia Rally, where he finished sixth, even ahead of the factory Subarus. A beautiful decoration with the colors of the Red Devil energy drinks, which undoubtedly gave it a strong boost.

The perfect complement to the modern and advanced Kawasaki Ninja H2R Carbon. If the manufacturer has already put all the meat on the grill with many of its carbon fiber parts, why can't we do it too with the model? Complete all the fiber parts with this decal sheet from Studio27, which reproduces the different patterns of each of the pieces, and even the different directions of the fiber pattern in the same piece. Totally recommended!

Although the Yamaha YZF-R1M is a street bike, it is becoming more and more common for brands to incorporate some carbon parts, both to reduce weight and to resemble their competition counterparts.
