Take a look: NMOTO recreates the iconic BMW R7

Take a look: NMOTO recreates the iconic BMW R7

If you haven’t set sights on this beauty, now is the time to feast your eyes on it! NMOTO has recreated the iconic BMW R7 and it looks as stunning as ever! The handwork and craftsmanship is absolutely impressive and if this does not make your jaws drop, we don’t know what will. BMW created the R7 in 1934 but the masterpiece has never entered production. Caught alongside its blueprints, the R7 is revived nearly a century later. BMW Classic completed its restoration and was held at top honours in Class X for German motorcycles in the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours. “I was lucky enough to be at Pebble Beach for the unveiling of the restored 1934 R7 in 2012,” says NMOTO founder Alex Niznik. “Being so close to a piece of history that never reached its full potential gave me direction. I fell in love with the motorcycle, and made a promise to myself that when I retired at the age of 55, I would look into building a motorcycle like that. I founded NMOTO a few years later and began developing the Nostalgia Project to capture that same innovation and breathe new life into a vintage design.” “Our goal was a bike that combined vintage aesthetics with modern technology. Stanislav Pavlov, who worked with famous builders Jimmy Shine and John Beck, leads our team of metal shapers, engineers, and designers. We wanted something that was more than just a pretty collection piece, but a motorcycle that you can actually ride comfortably on a daily basis, says Niznik.” The NMOTO Nostalgia is actually based on a current BMW R Nine T, which resembles the R7. The R Nine T features a 1170cc two-cylinder engine which is capable of producing 86 lb-ft of torque, enough to push Nostalgia to 140 mph. “We didn’t modify the factory R Nine T powertrain. BMW creates a great motorcycle for the world of custom builds—all the parts are bolts-on. We used original points to fasten the body to the frame. coque iphone 2019 For the rear fender, we created a special rod because the stock rear fender on BMW R Nine T is connected to the seat. Only the rear sub-frame was modified for our final design to emulate the BMW R7.” “Rather than just recreating the 1934 BMW R7 model,” says Niznik, “we brought it into the new world with power and performance it could not achieve when it was first introduced. soldes coque iphone pas cher By using the heritage BMW R Nine T as a base, we were able to maintain the integrity of our inspiration while still making it our own.” “Nostalgia is not just a one-off custom motorcycle. It’s a production motorcycle that incorporates traditional old-fashion metal-shaping. We are using different CNC machinery for milling, laser works, engraving, etc. You need a big fleet of different machinery. coque iphone 2019 pas cher Nostalgia consists 96 handcrafted pieces, including about 74 parts built by NMOTO. acheter coque iphone An all-new gas tank, throttle system, fenders mounts, brackets, wires, etc.” “It took about four months to design Nostalgia, another four months for the three in-house engineers to define the build in SolidWorks. Fabrication of the first bike took seven months due to interplay of craftsmen and engineer.” NMOTO fully leverages the power of these readily available software systems, allowing a tiny company to punch far above its weight. “Aluminum is not a simple material to work with. There is almost no chance for mistakes or you will start from the beginning,” says Niznik. “We employ old-fashion metal shaping as well as CNC machinery. coqueiphone Each Nostalgia motorcycle has its own hand-built body, no stamps at all.
