this custom-made BMW R9T by zillers garage is a mad max dream

moscow-based zillers garage has unveiled a steampunk, mad max-like custom-made BMW R9T motorrad. the one-off motorcycle takes BMW’s new R18 cruiser and redesigns the outer body without touching the internal build. this redesign features a shell made entirely from fabricated aluminum parts.

for the BMW R9T, zillers garage has enclosed its elements inside the new aluminum body. from the headlight to the tail-light, everything flows through the metal-finished mass that results in a somewhat post-apocalyptic aesthetic. the intimidating HID lamp has been placed at the front while a taillight has been mounted on a sliding rear that also serves as the opening access to the bike’s electric controls. the dashboard has been integrated into the fuel tank in a seamless but visible way. overall, the new robust body gives the BMW R9T bike volume and a strong presence. for those interested, the bike is only made to order.
