The BMW R7 by NMoto is an art-deco custom motorcycle that reimagines BMW's legendary 1934 R7 prototype on a modern R nineT platform. The 85th Anniversary Commemoration Limited Edition pushes the build to jewelry-grade extremes, with platinum body panels, pink gold trim, a Louis Vuitton saddle and a Cartier clock, limited to just 10 examples at roughly a quarter of a million dollars each.
What is the NMoto Nostalgia BMW R7?
A year before this edition, NMoto blessed our eyes with the Nostalgia, based on a BMW R nineT and finished in an iconic art-deco style as a tribute to the original R7. This time, the South Florida studio decided to elevate that build with a premium finish called the BMW R7 85th Anniversary Commemoration Limited Edition. The base Nostalgia is already a tribute to the radical 1934 R7 prototype that never entered production, as documented on the NMoto Nostalgia official page.
What makes the 85th Anniversary edition so special?
The donor bike is the same R nineT model but with many differences to set it apart from its predecessor. While it shares the same silhouette, around 150 parts of the bike were custom made and fabricated. The colour scheme differs vastly, clad in platinum body panels with genuine pink gold trim. NMoto went all-in, fitting a Louis Vuitton leather saddle and a Cartier clock into the gas tank. About 4000 hours were spent over a full year to bring the bike to life. With 10 editions planned, each one will set you back a quarter of a million dollars, as covered by RideApart.
