The Elegant Bastard BMW R NineT is a rough gentlemans ride; elegant and refined but  unpolished and loud one the other hand. The comfortable ride with a feel of heritage has been translated into a ride to experience freedom in a sportive and sensational way! The Elegant Bastard is designed for the BMW Soul Fuel Challenge 2014 organized by BMW Motorrad Netherlands. Our design made it to the top 3 of the competition and public voting resulted in a victory with more than 70% of the votes!

 

Handmade Craftmanship

The Elegant reflects the quality and craftmanship you´ll see in this motorcycle, like the handmade aluminium tank and the rough antelope leather seat. The quality of BMW has been translated into the overall look and feel of the Elegant Bastard with the CNC milled subframeand the carbon fiber engine covers. The BMW design language led to an a-symmetrical speedometer, positoned next to the CNC milled upper triple tree with the clean look flat handlebar on top!
