Since riding motorcycles is almost as much about aesthetics as it is about riding itself, this new [motorbike by 'Death Machines of London'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maeving-rm1s-blackout) is likely to please motorcycle enthusiasts.

Despite the aggressive name of the company, it offers motorcycles that are high-quality and are often [uniquely shaped or designed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-821). The 'DMOL' is its newest bike and mixes speed with [vintage aesthetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suzuki-gsx8tt-motorcycle), including silver and copper accents and low handlebars. The back of the bike is engraved with a Hunter S. Thompson quote that reads: "Faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death."

This bike by Death Machines of London proves that vintage can meet modern in a way that improves aesthetics and functionality rather than impairing them.
