The Bike Shed motorcycle show is a sacred place for custom bikemakers to flaunt their skills via epic builds. So, for this year’s show, Amsterdam-based Ironwood Motorcycles wanted to create something stunning, and boy, did they live up to it!

Once a BMW R NineT, this custom motorcycle looks from a different world altogether and backs this up with some exceptional customizations, which we’ll be diving into.

Instead of taking the usual scrambler or tracker inspiration seen on R NineT builds, Ironwood Motorcycles took the not-so-common futuristic design approach. With the idea clear, the folks at Ironwood stripped off the stock bodywork, shaped the bodywork in clay, and proceeded to 3D-print the parts.

The final result, as you can see, is nothing short of stunning with a monocoque-style body that looks like a single piece, but actually has two thermoplastic pieces. The front half of the bodywork packs the new sleek fascia, a custom fuel tank made from aluminum, and most importantly, a unique airbox arrangement with a hollow opening.

Meanwhile, the razor-sharp tail section houses the custom honeycomb-patterned seat and LED tail lights. In the words of the shop owner, this design is neo-futuristic and shows the future of motorcycle customization from 2084.

Coming to the mechanicals, the custom bike shop has up-specced the front suspension with carbon fiber fork tubes and cartridge internals, while the monoshock is an all-new unit from TFX. Likewise, the stock wheels have made way for 17-inch carbon wheels wrapped in ultra-sticky Pirelli Diablo slicks.

The 1170cc, Boxer engine, meanwhile, remains relatively stock, with the only upgrades being the custom covers and the handmade under-seat stainless steel exhaust system. The latter should result in a slight bump in performance, so the bikemaker also threw in upgraded Beringer brakes at both ends.

Finally, topping everything is a ghostly silver paint job with sprinkles of a glittery purple shade on the chassis, levers, brake calipers, and monoshock, which gives the bike a proper JDM-kinda vibe.

Good news: Yes, you can!

Bad news: You’ll have to wait to get your hands on the bike as it’s currently heading to Berlin for BMW’s Pure & Crafted festival. Till then, we suggest you get in touch with Ironwood Customs and discuss money matters.
