This Custom BMW R NineT Scrambler Thinks Its A Fighter Jet

  • Auto Fabrica, a London based custom bike maker, is the company behind this ace-looking custom Beemer.
  • It features custom bodywork, a custom suspension setup and a redesigned exhaust system. 
  • Powering this beast is the R NineT Scrambler’s 1170cc powerplant, albeit with a remap.

What happens when you give two brothers who have a knack for making some striking custom motorcycles a spare BMW R NineT Scrambler? Whatever radical custom Beemers you have in mind can’t possibly top this - the Type 18. It’s the brainchild of Bujar and Gazmend Muharremi of Auto Fabrica. Based on the BMW R NineT Scrambler, this custom motorcycle has been commissioned by BMW itself. We don’t know about you, but this custom motorcycle has made our jaws drop to the floor.

Powering the Type 18 is the same 1170cc engine as the standard model, albeit with a remap. The standard bike pumps out 110PS and 116Nm of torque. The Type 18 looks like it was designed keeping fighter jets in mind. From the front, the custom headlamp cowl sweeps cleanly into the handmade fuel tank, giving it a sleek look. And those winglets... they are handbuilt too!

While the standard variant comes with a telescopic fork at the front, the Type 18 features a custom USD fork (with Maxton SD25 cartridges). The rear monoshock is a Maxton GP10 unit. Also, while the stock motorcycle gets a single-piece handlebar, the Type 18 features low-set clip-on handlebars for a more crouched-down riding position. Other major changes include a restyled digital instrument cluster, a bi-xenon HID projector headlamp and new alloy wheels. Additionally, the standard exhaust system has been replaced by a custom one. The seat doesn’t seem to be comfortable, but hey, it's wrapped in Alcantara!

Neither Auto Fabrica nor BMW Motorrad has revealed the cost of making this stunning one-off R NineT Scambler, but we are sure that it would’ve cost them a fortune to build.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

  It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

TVS Tyres Launches Two New Range Of Tyres For Scooters

The two new range of tyres are called - Jumbo-XT and the Pancer-II. Exclusively made for scooters. The company claims that both provide excellent grip in both dry and wet conditions. TVS Tyres has launched two new range of tyres for scooters - Jumbo-XT and the Pancer-II. Both will be available in 90/100 -10 sizes across the country.

BMW Motorrad Showcases Radical Electric Vision DC Roadster

The Vision DC Roadster takes the brands iconic 2-cylinder boxer engine design and gives it a rather interesting twist.  The design was inspired by the BMW R 32 developed by Max Friz in 1923. BMW has also designed a two-piece functional suit that looks like a casual jacket and black trousers. BMW Motorrad is no newcomer to electric vehicles. We’ve already seen the brands Vision Next 100 concept which gave a glimpse of the company’s future vision. Now though, BMW intends to change our outlook on electric two-wheelers which are more often than not perceived as boring. And they plan on doing so with the Vision DC Roadster, an all-electric bike that gives the word unconventional a whole new meaning. The design team started off by taking its iconic 2-cylinder boxer engine and giving it a rather interesting twist. The idea was to retain its protruding design but incorporate it in an electric motor. The challenge was its packaging. You see, in an IC engine, the size of the motor ...
