DUTCH TREAT: BMW R100RT from The Netherlands.

The Netherlands isn’t just home to the reigning Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen but is a country with a thriving custom culture and a rich motorsport history. The likes of Moto Adonis and designer and builder Arjan van den Boom have made a huge impact on our scene, and there is a long list of Dutch choppers that have wowed the crowds at the AMD World Championships. All of which has served as huge inspiration for Erwin Dijkstra of Motor Braap as he continues to push himself to be amongst the nation’s elite. And if there is one bike the Dutch adore, it’s the all-conquering BMW R100, and Erwin has given his a true scrambler vibe, very much in the style of the best builders in The Netherlands. We’ve featured a hell of a lot of custom bikes built by Dutch workshops over the years, and the trend that always shines through is that no matter how wild the aesthetic, it still has to be a rider. They’re also heavily into their BMWs, with their German neighbours dominating the number one spot in new bike sales for years now. All of which seems to have conspired to produce this look now known around the world, of single-saddled R series scramblers, with beautiful fit and finish and genuine all-purpose rubber.
