Skeletal Vintage Engine Motorcycles

The BMW Motorrad Birdcage Boasts a Titanium Frame

— April 18, 2019 — Autos
The BMW Motorrad Birdcage is a transportation solution that boasts a skeletal aesthetic to put the engine on display and balance the modern design with technology of the past. The motorcycle features a BMW Motorrad boxer engine that is clearly visible through the titanium frame to let the components become the focal point instead of hiding them away. This means that every angle the bike is viewed from will provide a breathtaking experience that is truly unlike anything on the roads today.

The BMW Motorrad Birdcage from Revival Cycles has also been created with individually crafted components such as the footrests, handlebars seat and shift lever as well as the carbon suspension. The bike took five months to complete and was shown off at The Handbuilt Motorcycle Show 2019.
