PainTTless by Thunderbike

This is probably one of the most beautiful motorcycles, I have ever laid eyes upon. I cannot comment on its usability, operation, and all other engineering aspects that determine its actual functionality (ie. whether it is actually drivable or not), since I am not knowledgeable on that field. But when it comes to aesthetics … you have to agree that both form and vision are outstanding. Mind you, there is no paint job on the parts. What you see is original metalwork on different materials.

This bike is the brainchild of renowned custom motorcycle builder Andreas Bergerforth and his team at the Thunderbike Garage, in Germany. She took 8 months to build, with almost every element having been painstakingly hand-fabricated. The design inspiration was ice-racing motorcycles from the early 20th century, the narrow front profile is designed to be as aerodynamic as possible and the long, stretched side profile allows the rider to stretch out and get as low as possible. Visit the original reviewer's post here, with a wealth of images, points and spec. Visit the Thunderbike Garage website for info and pictures here.
