Design study based on the BMW R nine T

BMW has chosen Auto Fabrica for the Wheels & Waves had a custom bike built in Biarritz in 2019. The Type 18 design study is based on an R nine T..

The custom bike manufacturer Auto Fabrica owned by the brothers Bujar and Gazmend Muharremi is one of the best on the British scene. For the Wheels & Waves Festival 2019 in Biarritz, France, the BMW brothers were commissioned to build a design study based on a BMW R nine T. The result is the Auto Fabrica Type 18. The metamorphosis of the R. nineT Scrambler for Type 18 takes more than a year. A lot of manual work and even elements from the 3D printer went into the project.

Cladding made of aluminum sheets

This is how the cladding parts that extend over the cylinders, the small wing elements on the fork and around the headlight, as well as the new tank-seat combination made of hand-operated aluminum sheets were created. Alcantara covers the seat roll. A 3D printer spat out the holder for the headlight. The frame remained original except for a few parts. The series front end was replaced by a shortened fork from an S 1000 RR. At the rear, a Maxton strut, the R nine T swing arm and a rim from the R nine T Racer were combined. The exhaust system, which actually only consists of two elegantly curved pipes, was made by hand from stainless steel. There were new, hand-made lids for the cylinders. The intake area was converted to a single air filter. The indicators and taillights were formed from indirectly illuminated acrylic elements. Furthermore, various elements of the Option 719 milled parts package were installed on the engine.

Small series possible

As unique as the Type 18 looks, it shouldn’t remain a one-off. If there is corresponding demand, Auto Fabrica will produce the model in a small series. Of course, as usual, prices were not mentioned.
