Texas based Revival Cycles believes that the bikes are much more than simple machines, just as their amazing aesthetic expression demonstrates. Beautiful Henne BMW Landspeeder how this bike is called, was a way of proving the creative team of this store, that the overall aesthetics more important than technologically advanced equipment on the engine. Looking at this amazing project, we have to agree with their vision.

The story is just as unusual as the bike itself. “A year ago, a client asked if we would create a custom to display in a gallery he was building for 20 motorcycles,” says Revival’s Alan Stulberg.
Alan was given full creative freedom, subject to budget. “Not the first time that’s happened, but it was the first time we knew a motorcycle would never be ridden by its owner—and did not need to be street legal.”
After dwelling on the many possibilities, Stulberg chose to build a bike inspired by the extraordinary Ernst Henne Landspeeder. That machine was a 1928 BMW R37 racer that enabled it to break 76 world records in speed, in the period from 1929 to 1937. Revival Cycles worked for about a month to design aluminum body of the bike, and by all accounts, their effort was truly amazing.

In accordance with an existing theme, the valve covers and hardware made of stainless materials are fully adapted to this model. Its front suspension is set at an angle of 24 degrees and contains the classic chain suspension with progressive kinetic relationships. What do you think about this beauty?
