The Bandit9 EVE Odyssey is a sci-fi-inspired custom motorcycle that looks more like a polished sculpture than a bike. Built by Bandit9, the Saigon-based shop with a global following, it wraps a humble 125cc Honda single inside a hand-formed, bullet-shaped body, blurring the line between custom motorcycle and fine art while remaining strictly limited to just a handful of units worldwide.
What makes the EVE Odyssey so unique?
The EVE Odyssey is built around a one-of-a-kind aluminum alloy frame that hides the fuel tank, electronics, headlight, and triple clamp inside a futuristic, streamlined fairing. To keep the silhouette clean, the 125cc Honda engine, single-sided swingarm, and monoshock rear suspension are all integrated into an L-shaped subframe. According to Robb Report, the bodywork uses high-strength 7075 aluminum prized for its toughness and fatigue resistance, the same family of alloy used in aerospace.
How much is the Bandit9 EVE Odyssey and how is it made?
Each EVE Odyssey is made to order and hand-built by Bandit9's artisans over several months, with worldwide production strictly capped. As the official Bandit9 page details, the bike was offered around 19,500 dollars with an early-bird discount for the first pre-orders, putting it firmly in collectible-art territory rather than mass-market commuting.
Is there an electric EVE on the way?
Yes. Bandit9 has confirmed that the EVE Odyssey will spawn an all-electric model in the future, extending the silver-bullet design language into the EV era. For now, the EVE Odyssey stands as one of the most striking custom motorcycles ever to roll out of an independent workshop.
