It’s not often we get news about the custom scene in South America, although, through friends, we do know that there is a thriving motorcycle culture there. From Argentina comes a very dystopian and minimalist custom motorcycle, called the Pan Meka.
Product of an outfit called Pan Speed Shop, the Pan Meka is its very first big custom, based on a BMW K1200S. Taking the rolling gear and inline four-cylinder 1,157 cc from the discontinued bike – replaced in 2008 by the K1300 – Pan Speed Shop added unfinished steel plates for that brutally cut look.
A massive forged girder fork graces the front end of the Pan Meka, with what looks suspiciously like mechanical anti-dive from the ’80s attached to the brake caliper, but isn’t. A re-designed exhaust sits under the bike’s belly, all straight lines and sharp vents.
The light unit now features automatic xenon lights, enclosed in a hatchet-shaped enclosure that also houses the Pan Meka’s circuit block. Turn signals are blended into the light enclosure, using a pair of thin LED strips.
Insturments are now housed in a digital dashboard, with backlit push-buttons for controlling the custom bike’s systems. All in all, the Pan Meka looks very much like a refugee from the movie Mad Max: Fury Road and we can’t wait to see what else will emerge from the Pan Speed Shop works next.
Don’t worry, come to Malaysia sure be RM200k. We need to support Jib’s luxurious lifestyle and also his wife RM500k each handbags
The fork is the standard K-series fork (‘Duolever’)? Anti-dive is not necessary, as it won’t dive by principle btw.
Anyway, I like the strange & futuristic look of the bike.. ;)
