For most folks, one custom motorcycle is about all
they need (or can afford). But, for one of Vagabund Moto’s more well-to-do
customers, it’s gotten to the point where they’re ordering bikes based on
changes in the weather. Or at least that’s the case with the shop’s newest
build: a 1988 BMW R80RT they’ve named ‘V08.’
Built to be a minimalist daily driver for warmer
days, this summer brat has been pared down to just the essentials, without
sacrificing on slick styling. It’s long list of swapped out parts and upgrades
include a slimmer R75/5 fuel tank, shortened handlebars, tucked away wiring, a
modified R100R exhaust unit, and 3D-printed controls.
All told, this gorgeous
bike is a perfect example of the concept of “less is more” and encompasses just
how much attention to the smallest of details can benefit the overall beauty of
a 2-wheeler.
