BMW MOTORRAD PRESENTA LA R 18 THE CROWN

  • Espectacular moto custom R 18 del customizador Dirk Oehlerking para conmemorar los 100 años de BMW Motorrad.

Cuando Dirk Oehlerking decide personalizar la BMW R 18 Kingston Custom, el resultado está garantizado. El conocido personalizador ha causado recientemente un gran revuelo con la R 18 Spirit of Passion, una impresionante creación de estilo aerodinámico.

La R 18 “The Crown” va un gran paso más allá. “Es la esencia de mis creaciones hasta la fecha”, afirma Oehlerking, cuya pasión y creatividad siempre han sido las motocicletas individuales e inusuales. Esto es exactamente lo que lleva haciendo con total dedicación en la región del Ruhr desde hace 30 años. Le encanta la cultura industrial y la proximidad a la industria y a la artesanía, tiene una gran red de contactos y unos impresionantes escenarios fotográficos para sus motos y para él mismo.

Carrocería de diseño propio fabricada en chapa de aluminio y suspensión de la rueda delantera con basculante de doble brazo con puntal central de suspensión.

Para conmemorar los 100 años de BMW Motorrad, ha creado la R 18 The Crown, una gran moto bóxer que lo tiene todo. “Empecé con una BMW R18 nueva que luego desmonté. Como siempre, trabajé con espuma dura y cartón para crear la forma, las líneas y el diseño. El objetivo era que tuviera un aspecto potente, elegante y rápido, combinado con una estética innovadora”, así describe Oehlerking su planteamiento de diseño.

El diseño obligó a adaptar considerablemente la tecnología. Hubo que construir una suspensión de rueda delantera completamente nueva en forma de brazo oscilante de doble cara con puntal de suspensión central.

El depósito de combustible de 8 litros y las piezas de la carrocería se fabricaron con chapa de aluminio de 2 mm de grosor, que se cortó, dobló y mecanizó a mano.

Numerosos componentes de serie, como el faro, la instrumentación, las unidades de cambio  y el sistema de reposapiés, se han integrado perfectamente en el espectacular concepto de la R 18 “The Crown”. Los accesorios del embrague y el freno de mano son de Magura, el guardabarros trasero y los soportes de Wunderkind y el sillín de chapa de aluminio de 2 mm de grosor y revestido de cuero auténtico son complementos que quedan verdaderamente armoniosos.

Como guinda del pastel, Oehlerking dio a la R 18 “The Crown” un acabado de pintura Champagne Platinum con nácar, complementado con el logo de BMW adornado con una pequeña corona.

FabMan Storm, the most luxury futuristic motorcycle.

FabMan Storm, the most luxury futuristic motorcycle.

STORM IS A FUTURISTIC AND ALMOST SPACE MOTORCYCLE PREPARED BY WAYNE BUYS.

FabMan Creations has unveiled a striking resto-mod dubbed the “Storm,” based on BMW’s R nineT motorcycle, a classic roadster first introduced in 2014. Due to the modular nature of the bike, the R9T has received countless makeovers over the years, so delivering a novel take on the two-wheeler presented a unique undertaking.

Storm is a scandal motorcycle presented by FabMan Creations, an absolutely avant-garde design created by the South African trainer Wayne Buys; this striking design is inspired by the art deco airplanes and cars of the roaring 20’s and 30’s of the last century. the result? You have it in the image gallery that illustrates this news.

Storm is an aluminum bodied motorcycle that sits on top of a BMW R nineT; the bodywork is held discreetly thanks to the fasteners being hidden, the front wheel is faired and the air intakes emphasize its aerodynamic style; Do you think it’s just a show bike? Not at all, it is a 100% functional motorcycle, so much so that FabMan Creations offers a kit for those who own a BMW R nineT or can get hold of one and turn it into their own Storm, an avant-garde motorcycle like few others, with an almost spatial design.

Taking inspiration from the aerodynamic forms of WW2-era fighter jets, Wayne Buys of FabMan Creations crafts a sleek curved aluminum body kit that involved hammering aluminum sheeting by hand to exact specifications over the build period of 8 months. The panels are secured by small Allen head fasteners that resembled the riveted body of ’40s aircraft and exteriors are finished in matte silver paint with minimal FMC branding above the bulbous tank cover. Additional design highlights include a custom tail section, headlight shroud, bespoke wheel covers, and a series of cylindrical air intakes that resemble plane turbines.

FabMan Creation’s BMW R nineT-based “Storm” motorcycle is now on sale for €25,000 EUR (approximately $30,740 USD). Those interested in purchasing or commissioning their own motorcycle can contact FabMan Creations

Bouvet – Supermarine MM01 Black Edition

UNCOMPROMISING DESIGN

Impressive with its technical prowess and its aerodynamic design, the Supermarine MM01 Black Edition stands out as the ultra-watercraft. Its engine, based on the latest cutting-edge technologies, makes it the most powerful electric watercraft in the world to date. Adventurous, seductive and aggressive, it is part of a radical approach, leaving no room for concession. Under its stealthy air, it is the ultimate expression of personal watercraft, symbolizing the perfect fusion between extreme power and agility.

ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT

With its carbon-Kevlar monocoque frame and its wide hood on jacks, the Supermarine offers privileged access to the technical parts. Integrating such electrical power on board a watercraft of less than 4 meters long is a real challenge. This technical feat has been achieved through the massive use of carbon fiber and the integration of a high-powered battery, developed according to the demanding standards of car racing. To ensure optimum performance, it requires oversized liquid cooling, worthy of a hypercar. The engine, for its part, develops 300hp / 220kW and nearly 450Nm of torque, thanks to a latest generation radial architecture. This technology allows to reach unprecedented performance in the history of the electric watercraft.

TARFORM LAUNCHES ITS RETRO-STYLED ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE

Brooklyn-based mobility brand  Tarform has launched its first street-legal electric motorcycle that embodies design, technology, and sustainability. The Tarform Luna is designed for modularity where the battery pack can be upgraded as technology improves. The bodywork can be changed for a new style and software can be updated for a smarter ride. 

Tarform designed a technological layer that enhances safety. A radar acts as blindspot detection. Vibration through the seat alerts you of any vehicles in your blindspot. A rear-facing camera enables you to see what is behind you. 

At the end of the ride, the rider can view their statistics on the Tarform mobile app and get insights that can help to become a better and safer rider. 

The Tarform motorcycle is inspired by nature’s own intelligence. The bodywork is made from a flax seed weave that acts as a reinforcing mechanism to the composite panel construction. Aluminum is used for most components as it is 100 percent recyclable. The seat upholstery is made out of biodegradable vegan leather. 

Tarform is developing a new way of eliminating the need of paints and primers with a mono-material infused with algae- and iron-based metallic pigments. 

A perfect blend between the tall stance of a scrambler, the acceleration of a sportbike, and the comfortable all-round balance of a British classic. Tarform Luna is a machine built to travel over cobble streets to canyons without leaving a trace. 

In 2021 Tarform will begin deliveries of the Tarform Luna. The production series will be positioned in the premium market at a starting price of $24,000. 

The Tarform Founder Edition is a custom motorcycle that is made to order. A limited-edition of 54 machines hand-made in Brooklyn. Tarform uses top of the line suspension from Ohlins and performance brake systems from ISR. Each frame is TIG welded by hand. The body is hand-shaped out of recycled aluminum.
