Do the hand-customized and modified BMW R18 headlights remind you of the center grille of the new 4 Series?

In the current global motorcycle market, the hottest cruise model is BMW’s latest R?18, which made its global debut in April this year and was launched in the Chinese market in July. The overall design style pays tribute to the 1936 BMW R5. Every detail has been carefully carved and polished, full of retro charm. Coupled with BMW's newly developed 1800cc horizontally opposed air-cooled engine, the R?18 undoubtedly has great retro modification potential. Although the first batch of vehicles in the Chinese market have not yet been delivered, foreign modification masters have already created iconic and excellent works, so you might as well take a look first.

Blechmann is a handmade custom motorcycle modification brand from Austria. The brand name comes from the abbreviation of founder Bernhard Naumann. The main style of their works is post-modern art styling, and they have previously launched customized modified motorcycles based on R?Nine?T.

The BMW R?18 modified by Blechmann this time still retains a very similar style, combining post-modern artistic sense with retro styling. With a cleverly designed air deflector and the use of an extremely narrow split handlebar, the R?18 is a retro cruise motorcycle. After such transformation, it has produced a sporty temperament without any sense of violation.

The blue sky and white clouds logo on the side of the fuel tank has been moved to the newly designed spoiler. The fuel tank, seat cushion and rear hump are connected smoothly in a large arc. The towering hump once again increases the sportiness of the vehicle. . The short-tail design style with a large area of ??exposed rear tires is also the customary method of this modification studio, which has the charm of classic motorcycle racing from the last century.

The most attention-grabbing feature of this car is its headlights. The headlight uses six LED lamp beads arranged vertically. The first thing that reminds me of it is the Austrian motorcycle brand KTM. However, since BMW took the lead in using the exaggerated kidney-shaped grille on the 4 Series not long ago, I am even more convinced that the designer drew design inspiration from BMW.

With the blessing of the fairing, this R?18 has a continuous line that extends from the front to the rear, which further highlights the slender body shape of the cruise motorcycle.

The hand-stitched leather seat cushions are connected to the body through brass buckles, giving them a retro charm and fine texture.

Editor’s comment: This artistic hand-customized R?18 built by Blechmann has caused quite a sensation in the global motorcycle modification circle. The marketing method of only one unit per work, This R?18 is also destined to be sold at a high price. Excellent domestic studios for customizing and modifying motorcycles have also emerged in recent years. We look forward to designing and creating excellent works after the first batch of R?18 arrives in China.
