After the First World War, the industrial revolution had fully swung into action across the world. Machines were no longer just needed for their basic functions, as people wanted something to behold. A break from traditional esthetics was needed, and in car and motorcycle design this was the Art Deco styling.
The 30 were the golden age of prosperity, and this can clearly be seen in the opulent design of the 1934 BMW R7, seen here at Pebble Beach where it won best in show.
The bike was discovered in 2005 in a box in less than perfect condition. The body was rusting and the engine was corroded and stuck, but this one-off had a lot of potential.
The bike is powered by an 800 cc boxer engine that Leonhard Ischinger designed for BMW. This is connected to a four-speed transmission connected to a gear shifter by the side of the tank.
