The 2016 BMW R nineT, reimagined by Vagabund Moto and dubbed "Tin Man," is a stunning fusion of classic design and futuristic innovation. Drawing inspiration from their previous build, "The Whale," Vagabund set out to create a custom masterpiece with a unique monocoque body that features an intricately engineered fuel tank and seat unit. The bike boasts mind-blowing craftsmanship, with a custom remote-controlled latch system that reveals the bike's high-tech features, including a Motogadget dash, custom 3D-printed components, and a striking aluminum body. Notable additions include a custom ceramic-coated exhaust, carbon fiber wheels, and sleek, perforated leather upholstery. The minimalist livery, featuring Mercedes 'Selenite Grey Magno' with clear-coated inner layers, highlights the meticulous work of Vagabund and renowned craftsman Bernard Naumann, who shaped the bodywork and headlight nacelle. Every element, from the integrated LED lights to the CNC-machined top triple clamp, speaks to the bike’s extraordinary attention to detail. "Tin Man" is a true work of art, blending futuristic design with a respect for classic BMW heritage.
