VDBMoto B-1

16-VDBMOTO-B-1

  The interwebs can be quite a fickle place, with a constant striving for “what’s new?”, sometimes overshadowing what’s really important.  The quest for newness often goes astray, leading to weirdness like El Solitario’s latest, umm, creations?  We’re not really concerned with newness here at the garage, we’re more consumed with quality ,beauty, speed, and functionality.  VDBMoto’s latest, the B-1, is a nice, though not new, take on a 1986 BMW R80RT. 

  No, there are no new directions taken, just solid decisions about what’s right and beautiful and functional at the same time.  The blue on the tank is so evocative of the past, a hue that takes you back to the 50’s and 60’s.  There’s a nice balance to the look, with rust, grime and age contrasted with modern and pristine.  This bike has a “lived in” appearance, and doesn’t beg you to keep it locked up in some living room as a display piece. 

  If there was only one motorcycle you could ever own (perish the thought), this would be a pretty good choice, don’t you think?
