“Last year,” Anton explains. “I went on a big road trip across the Pyrenees, through the Alps and back to Sweden. It was incredible, but I was on a flat-tracker and I couldn’t help thinking it would be much more enjoyable on something purpose built for such and adventure.”

“When I began talking to BMW, I couldn’t get this idea out of my head. Of course, BMW are pioneers and leaders in the adventure motorcycle scene, so it seemed natural to create my own vision of a custom adventure bike.”

Anton’s customs are always stunning modern classic-style bikes – so it was never going to look like your typical ADV machine. “The thing is, I’m not really in the big adventure bike world. So, this build was always going to be my take on an adventure bike that I’d love to ride – and the RnineT Urban G/S was the perfect starting point.”

It features a full carbon-fibre tank, painted by Image Design, a UK company with 12 years in the business, with an incredible transparent stealth camo finish. Speaking with Tom Fuller from Image, he fills us in on what it takes to get such a unique effect.

“It’s a challenge when you tackle carbon-fibre – it often has lots of pinholes which affects the paint. However, the carbon-fibre sourced from Ilmberger Carbon was really high quality which made things much easier. First, you have to use a transparent sealer, then layer the paint many times over to get the camo look. After building up the layers, you then sand it back to remove the edges. Finally, the top coat is a ‘denim’ lacquer, which is matte but buffs up in high wear areas – just like a pair of jeans.”
