Heritage model BMW Motorrads are very special
machines, and there is perhaps none more special than the 1934 R7. Only one was
ever built, then rebuilt by BMW Vintage, and would today cost upwards of 1
million US dollars, reports website returnofthecaferacers.com.
NMoto Studio, based in Florida, US, allows
you have a reimagining of the original R7, via a kit based on the BMW Motorrad
R nineT. Hand-made by NMoto craftsmen mainly from aluminium, the kit is made up
of 74 pieces, including specialist parts from aftermarket suppliers like
MotoGadget.
Parts are formed on an English wheel as well as CNC
machined, and the whole kit actually reduces the weight of the R nineT from the
current 222 kg. Needless to say, the NMoto Nostalgia project inspired R7 has a
whole lot more go than the original 1934 model, with 110 hp and 116 Nm of
torque on tap.
At this moment, owners of R nineTs wanting to
convert their machines to the Nostalgia Project are out of luck. The Nostalgia
Project is only available as a complete build from NMoto with the order book
now open for a three to six month delivery window.
If you want an R7 look-a-like based on the modern
mechanicals of the BMW Motorrad R nineT, NMoto says pricing starts from 49,500
USD including the cost of a new R nineT with 13 colour schemes on
offer.
