Driven by the passion for motorcycles, a
team of an artist, engineer and a designer ensure that their builds strike the
right chord between reality and the technical advancements, so that the rider

Behind the diguise of this BMW
Landspeeder from Revival Cycles is a BMW R100/7 with a lengthened wheelbase and
a rebuilt engine. The engine was dropped on the flat-cut steel frame to lower
the center of gravity and gain high speed stability.
And because this is a
display bike, it was not going to need any lights, indicators or alternators,
hence, a magneto ignition system with advance control was used. While the
steering angle is at 24 degrees with a balanced out with full six inches of
trail, at the rear the a five-way adjustable mono shock comes with preload,
high speed, low speed compression and rebound.
