Nmoto Nostalgia

Nmoto starts with a stock BMW R nineT

BMW created a great motorcycle for the world of custom builds—all parts are bolt-on, and we used original points to fasten the body to the frame. For the rear fender, we created a special rod, as the stock rear fender on BMW R nineT is connected to seat. Only the rear subframe was modified to make final design of Nostalgia as it was on BMW R7.” according to Niznik.

It’s not just a one-off custom motorcycle

Nostalgia is a production motorcycle for lovers of R7 to own history and where traditional old-fashion metal shaping is presented.

Fabrication requires knowledge and skills

Aluminum is not a simple material to work with. There is almost no chance for mistakes or you will start again from the beginning. We want to represent old-fashion metal shaping, as well as CNC machinery. Each Nostalgia motorcycle has its own hand-built body—no stamps at all. Everything is handmade through wood frame, as it should be, using English Wheel and Power Hammer.

Performance that far exceeds the R7

Underneath the Nmoto Nostalgia is everything that is appealing about a BMW R nineT. The exhaust system was not compromised, and none of the motor parts are modified, so the Nostalgia is street legal. However, as you would expect, the Nmoto Nostalgia does not retain the R nineT’s factory warranty. Nmoto is hoping to remedy that in the future.

Niznik describes Nostalgia’s riding position as “more of a café racer” than the standard R nineT’s upright ergonomics. Top speed is a claimed 140 mph, and thoroughly modern features such as traction control, ABS, and keyless ignition are carried over from the R nineT. As a bonus of the reimagining of the R nineT, Nmoto claims that Nostalgia is 37 pounds lighter than the R nineT.

The Nmoto Nostalgia is a beguiling combination of Art Deco sensibilities and contemporary technology. Perhaps the most challenging aspect of purchasing this motorcycle is the wait time of up to six months after ordering.

In creating the Nostalgia motorcycle, we wanted to do things right. Our goal was to develop a bike that combined vintage aesthetics with modern technology. We gathered the necessary tools and team to take it from concept to reality.

The Nmoto can be customized to your taste

The Nmoto can be customized to the customer’s taste, including different paint schemes, as well as choices in seating and footrests. More esoteric personalization can run to the automotive style shifting that the R7 used, as well as passenger accommodations.

Rather than building a single motorcycle inspired by the R7, Nmoto has created a limited production motorcycle that is available for sale to order. That motorcycle is the Nmoto Nostalgia.
