Italians do it better, Two Wheels

NineT Paris Dakar Custom Build by Luismoto

The Italian builders of Luismoto recently completed the NineT Paris Dakar, a custom motorcycle based on the BMW R NineT and inspired by the BMW R80G/S. Luismoto fabricated many of the parts, which will be sold online individually and in building kits. In this particular build, the aluminum siding stands out in white paint with R80G/S-esque detailing and a red-orange leather saddle to match. Other accessories are finished for a black satin effect that mirrors the contrasting components of the R80G/S. Uniquely curved to accommodate the rear frame, the stainless steel exhaust system is another notable addition. Altogether, the café racer is nostalgic, sporty, and balanced: some of the best qualities that a motorbike can embody.
