Describing its unique and dramatic approach to bespoke motorcycle creation, the Graz, Austria-based design and manufacturing studio Vagabund declares: “We‘re not reinventing the wheel, but we‘re rethinking it.”
Well, the new Vagabund V09 BMW R80RT absolutely epitomizes that sentiment. Beginning with a factory-produced 1992 BMW R80RT, the geniuses at Vagabund have created a state-of-the-art café racer that seems ripped from the future. The bike’s futuristic look is reinforced by its advanced production processes with 3D-printed switch housing and a 3D-printed rear component.
The Vagabund V09 BMW R80RT proves that highly technical bike-building doesn’t have to be cold and impersonal. With its custom-made leather seat, GFK rear wheel cover, Motogadget license plate holder, and SHIN YO LED rear brake light, this bike declares originality with every inch that it travels. Fully street-legal in Austria, the Vagabund V09 BMW R80RT features a modified SuperTrapp silencer exhaust system, a Grimeca brake master cylinder, and continental Road Attack 2 tires.
