Revival Birdcage BMW R18: Build Bio

[@planpitz4190]

This bike is worthy of being displayed at the museum of modern art in New York city.Hope it will end there some day.

[@blkcoupequattro]

You right, it does move you in a way that doesn't break your heart, but warms the creative soul absolutely .... Hat's off to completing something like this in 6 weeks...

[@TheRausing1]

Whoever edited and produced this video is a true professional, the flow, visuals, sound are all perfect

[@untonyto]

Wow. I wasn't convinced at first until I saw a rider on it, then I finally got it. Stunning.

[@gvngoheavy]

These days I feel like you guys are living the dream of most industrial designers. This ID nerd is a big fan.

[@deanaoxo]

My first impression was exactly what you wanted, but as time went on, i began to see what it required to get that, which then took me on a journey of an even deeper understanding. As a designer/maker, listening to the remarks of others, is often the most difficult part of being that. Making something that is intended to twirk that part of the brain that brings out those remarks is next level chess for sure. Being stubborn, i think, is probably the most important part of creating. Not accepting limitations, which, as we all know, one can argue for, and get, really blows the whole thing open. I can truly see why some of the German engineers might cry. First, to be shamed by the initial thought of my got what have they done with our motor, to the absolute glory of each and every solution as it is revealed. Truly brilliant. Thanks for sharing. Pure Aoxomoxoa.

[@RollingWrench]

Wow! Great work! In 6 weeks..... dang!

[@-MacCat-]

It may not be for everyone but it certainly is for me. Exceptional in every sense. Well done to all involved.

[@dbc1dc]

I used to volunteer at the Handbuilt show before it was as large as it is now. It's great to see you guys have turned your brand into something respected and talked about. Hopefully all this virus crap will calm down before the next one.

[@RevivalCycles]

Thank you SO MUCH for your support and contribution. Hope to see you again soon!

[@austennaeve]

Awesome bike. Even better company!

[@WinchsideDC]

What an incredible feat of creative engineering. Much respect.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Wow , been a motorcycle nut for over 50 years . Built all kinds of bikes but as Prince once said “ Nothing compares to you “. Great job :-) Happy Trails

[@the88rocker]

i do like comfort i do like style. i do like touring. or so whatever. but i dont care people like to say about those things but i just fell in love with this bike! its not even the things what yout sead. but its art to! nice bike man. greetings go on with the job

[@CarloDiLoreto]

Beautiful motorcycle and video. I loved visiting your workshop when I was living in Austin. Wonderful to see a full fabrication set up.

[@CaptainDestructo82]

Definitely a beautiful bike. I appreciate when somebody builds something to strictly be that, beautiful. Something doesn’t always have to be practical or profitable or even functional for that matter, although that is obviously very functional and I’m sure it’s worth a great deal of money. It’s just great when someone makes something simply because they can, create something of beauty for the sake of creating. It’s awesome. Thank you. It’s been nice seeing some more videos from you guys too. I’ve really enjoyed watching the dailies. Just wandering around the shop talking to the guys and letting us see what they get up to around there.

[@diggeronenineone7254]

I have said this before, the reason I have a love hate relationship with KZbin is fantastic videos like this, on the one hand I would probably never have known about this bike as its not the type of content that would make mainstream media, but on the other it just won't get promoted by KZbin the way it deserves. You have built a fantastic bike but also the production level on the film was equally as good, yet KZbin will continue to promote mindless shite of wannabe celebs adding nothing of value, honestly hit the trending button and see. Great work on both bike and film and thanks for giving me something worth watching.

[@RevivalCycles]

Thanks so much for the kind words. We put our passion into all that we do.....in the long haul, it is our hope that it shines through.

[@grossrationalization]

Thanks for the words of encouragement. We work very hard on the machines, but also equally hard to share them. It often takes a really determined leap of faith to invest in these and comments like yours make it all worth it. Thanks again!

[@chronicmachines6717]

Outstanding, Congratulations to pulling off, A piece of art in so many ways. Would love to see this bike in the flesh.

[@emilioestacio9731]

Great Build

[@TheRausing1]

That bike is incredible, I could look at it for hours. I don’t even know if I ‘like’ it. Or dislike it. It’s just.. mesmerising

[@lebutch078]

thanks gents, this is close to perfect. love design, love bikes - 6 weeks to create this !!!!!!!

[@pradiprai3355]

Piece of art beyond engineering...

[@HoldFastFilms]

Amazing bike and great documentary on the build! Hope to see it in person sometime.

[@gretchensghost]

I love details that you'll only see if you look. And look properly. Beautiful work. Well done.

[@tomfull6637]

Wow! I was going to write something to pay tribute to your achievement and I notice my eyes started to tear up.. I think that may say it all! Humble regards Anders Sweden Designer and mechanical engineer

[@LonH77]

What a beautiful machine. I had the pleasure of seeing it in person at Barbers.

[@joaodecastro4]

Not my style, but the amount of work and passion is incredible. Very well built. Very good project.

[@just4uamnda]

Everything from the story, team, idea, design, partnership with BMW, the challenge, the image of the video is absolutely stunning! Respect for everything in this video from Romania. Amazing, speechless! Liked and shared and subscribed, would've done all 3 twice but I can't!

[@nagabhushanrs2466]

Amazing creation. You should do more of such build bio's for the bikes you have built.

[@bluemask32]

That bike is outstanding!!! I see what you did there!!

[@daniyuniardi1282]

This is a proper documentary of that beautiful bike..love it...keep it on guys! You're inspirational

[@pablojbressan2260]

sounds like really good material for eletric engines 👏

[@edgarbleikur1929]

As a former maintenance fitter/toolmaker with 6 motorcycles I'm hoping to do some customisation on, (when I get back to Oz) I'm immensely inspired by your humble wisdom and common sense... liked/subscribed...

[@samscholtes]

Your build brought more than one tear to my eye, in both its raw beauty and its other worldly design. You and your team are true craftsmen!

[@davidhowell1502]

The Concepts are stunning and captivating. The factory's design not so much. Hopefully the production bike looks better in the flesh than it does in the photos. None the less, still a killer motor.

[@Lynch84]

Really stunning work of art/machine. Definitely something I’d like to sit next to drink a beer and stare at.

[@maybe5883]

Job well done guys, rolling art, captivating for sure. 6 weeks, impressive!

[@trancenut81]

That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!

[@shawnewaltonify]

EXTREMELY WELL DONE!

[@tom-lk]

Hats off to you guys, Revival Cycles! Looking forward to the next one.

[@peterwiseman6244]

Incredible effort, both technically and artistically. Well done to you and well done to BMW for trusting you.

[@gregorysukroo2197]

Magicians. 'This is Chess'....brilliant. and thanks.

[@sayanbanerjee4956]

That's hardwork and that's art , it's beautiful .

[@aukanmeister]

It's beautiful , unnecessary and wonderful. Like the best things in life. Well done.

[@estebanayala5180]

You couldn't say it better!

[@Nevertrustalawyer]

Now this is a group I would love to join! Great work!

[@DirceuCorsetti]

I remember watching the building of this bike prior to the Hand Built MS. You could set the bar low and opt for different materials, use the stock engine management system, amongst other things. But you didn't, you opted for the hard work. Because it pays. This motorcycle is indeed something that could be on a art gallery as a center piece.

[@LucaS-wb5tw]

Man, what a masterpiece.

[@Manup2day]

Abstract Sculpture at it's best.

[@silotx]

A pretty chill and comfortable ride.

[@felixcat9318]

I find this to be elegantly simple and simply elegant!

[@Manup2day]

How did I not know about you guys. Subscribed! Motorcycle head. 😛👌

[@dougfitch3649]

And there's lots of room left over for the home theater system! Actually, my dad was a designer for Studebaker (the Hawk series, Comet, etc) and he would love this bike!

[@robertappelmeldgaard2968]

Awesome job. What a dream build 👍👍👍

[@ldhateleyau]

You took the dream and magically you made it appear from a thought process to reality the world is a better place because of dreams. Keep dreaming keep building challenge reality with your dreams. Magnificent work boys.

[@peterolley7159]

Stunning build !

[@whitedevil2]

[@johnpayne2465]

[@bicyclebookster6510]

Stunningly, blindingly, beautiful.

[@AedanBrower1]

So inspirational, an absolute beauty!

[@tonigon5767]

Utterly beautiful. Kudos, kudos and more kudos.

[@victor9191]

Wow amazing!! Great job, very creative! 🤟

[@ramonsuarez1893]

Great job Revival. With all this context the bike is even more beautiful!

[@eddstudd]

That is hands down the most beautiful and coolest bike project I have ever seen. Congratulations revival!

[@flackersplattspaulding3948]

Faith in humanity restored.

[@NickMVedros]

I love the look. I also want an all day rider. Form follows function, both listen to emotion.

[@daos3300]

here, function most definitely follows form.

[@SladeTakalaLamey]

What an amazing project. Well done, a work of art. Worth checking out Alex Moulton bikes.

[@shiftyrx7]

Wow!!! Excellent work on the bike and video!!!

[@bumpstartnether]

Nothing less than amazing. Thank you for this and for inspiration to be STUBBORN.

[@griptopia]

Hossack suspension , bmw might be the name, but their designers are the true hero's

[@owenbowman9275]

You and your team are an inspiration! I continue to watch in awe!

[@jimallen199]

[@jeffebinger1218]

G string of the motorcycle world.

[@nicholaslopez7918]

Cracking job chaps!

[@nigelcarren]

I have always wondered what it would look like if someone fixed a wheel to each end of the Eiffel Tower! From one metal-botherer to another, I say BRAVO! Stay safe during the madness mon ami. Best wishes from an Englishman making armour and mechanical marvels in a French forest... Subscribed. 🇬🇧⚔️

[@DrLFV]

It's beautiful, full stop. Ignore the haters.

[@wickeddubz]

[@enriqueortiz5670]

Wow what a design. Kudos guys

[@mannyagrinya1529]

Amazing work.

[@brittenv1000]

Love the work you guys do!

[@pixoarcade1519]

hey lets make a bird cage frame! welder person drops beer and loses his mind ;-) That's a lot of work there and it looks awesome and sound of this engine melts rocks.

[@fritzk9118]

Dudes, the heart and soul you put into this is frikin awesome and transcends brands.

[@robm8720]

very impressive video production

[@hohenmoorermessermanufaktu8586]

BRAVO, standing ovations

[@krispipermel]

beautiful, amazing ,cool, and brilliant.

[@michaelbooth206]

Chassis from a Moulton pushbike?

[@RevivalCycles]

The second time that's been mentioned. I'd never heard of Multon till this came up. The original inspiration was the classic Maserati "Bird Cage" race car chassis but there is a vague resemblance to the Multon design. Triangulation makes for strong but lightweight design and there are certainly many similar applications.

[@marivera188]

Hello! I have 2 mini chopper /harley they both need repair im not sure if you guys have ever work on them maybe I can get some tips

[@chocoball604]

Wow!

[@dimitricivil4910]

Beautiful, I am looking forward maybe one day to see full carbon fiber moto 🙂

[@RevivalCycles]

Thank you so much 😀

[@tjt615]

Well done

[@sleethmitchell]

[@miguelguimaraes4211]

You've made the second most beautiful racing bike ))

[@philipschrantz8402]

At its highest level, craftsmanship transcends itself and becomes art. Gentlemen, you leapt over that boundary. Beautiful...

[@loysharma]

Can't express it in words!

[@Maart3nSl3g3rs]

Can’t say I think it’s pretty, but man it’s fascinating.

[@dchiffy]

You guys rock, absolutely inspirational. I’m addicted

[@marchsantiago3873]

Amazing design!!
