South Africa-based motorcycle shop FabMan Creations has designed a resto-mod based on the BMW R nineT motorcycle, affectionately named “Storm.” The bike boasts a wide variety of customization options, receiving multiple makeovers and updates over the years due to its "modular nature."
Featuring a handcrafted curved aluminum body kit, a custom ‘monoposto’ tail section, headlight shroud, and more unique design choices, the ‘Storm’ is a matte silver motorcycle inspired by WW2-era fighter jets. FabMan Creations branding sits above the tank cover, while Allen head fasteners reinforce the '40s aircraft aesthetic.
The FabMan Creations ‘Storm’ motorcycle sells for approximately USD 30,740. Consumers looking for a custom motorcycle design can also contact FabMan Creations via its website for purchases or commissions.
