This custom BMW R nineT is the work of Austrian designer
Blechmann, the bike is called Giggerl and well…it is hard to say
which genre of style it fits into exactly. Blechmann has obvious
modern cues and ideas for how a motorcycle should look, but
Giggerl also has lines from the past, due in part to its
air-cooled R nineT roots.
The front-heavy fairing and minimalist tail reminds us of other dustbin
fairing designs, and the wire-spoked wheels help complete that feeling.
The large intake and sporty lines tell a different story though, and then
there is the swooping fairing that rises over the handlebars and holds the
mirrors for the rider to see.
While the cylinder heads of the BMW boxer engine can often look out of place
(take the latest cruiser creation from the German brand), Blechmann has found a
way to make them look modern and unique – like they belong in the modern world,
and aren’t just some throwback to BMW Motorrad’s history.
