IF 9 WAS 6. Kingston Custom’s ‘SIXDAYS’ R nineT Enduro
We love a bike that can be ridden every day. A bike that can be toured on, used as a commuter or even do some light dirt work. A bike like this one...
We at Pipeburn love bombastic builds as much as the next bunch of motorcycle nuts. We love the rolling pieces of art, bikes built to look gorgeous but not really designed to be ridden everyday. Or sometimes, at all. We still get it. But the other option is truly appealing – a build that can be fired up and ridden every day. A bike that can be toured on, can be used as a commuter or even do some light dirt work. In our eye Germany’s Kingston Customs have struck the nail on head with this, their dirt-inspired BMW R nineT Urban they’ve dubbed ‘Six Days’.
Firstly – the name. The International Six Days Enduro is often referred to as the ‘Olympics of Motorcycling’. Held in different parts of the world each year, teams representing their countries take their bikes through a gruelling set of off-road trials over the course of six days. Sounds like any rally, right? Except that the competitors perform their own maintenance and replacement of mechanical parts is extremely limited. For motorcycle nuts it’s the perfect test of a rider and machine.
