Blue. A color so vivid and relaxing all of us enjoy, but mostly in its natural form: in the sky, in the water, in the lover's eyes. A color so vivid and alive it almost never looks good on a motorcycle. Except for the ones made by Bundnerbike.
The Swiss have made a habit of making the color blue a centerpiece of their customized Harley-Davidsons. And every blue build they're responsible for, from the $42,000 Stratos to the $2 million Bucherer, looks amazing in this shade.
So does the Breakout we have here, the garage's latest project, and a beauty the likes of which we rarely get to see. It's unofficially called the Blue Breakout Wonder, and just like Bundnerbike says, it "can simply leave you speechless. "
A breathtaking shade of matt blue dresses the bike's fuel tank and rear fender, accented in the most powerful of ways by the black and copper decorations slapped over it, and by drowning the bike's entire engine and its components in black.
Blue is also used on the wheels, but it this case it kind of takes a second-row seat in terms of appeal, right behind the 3D design of the hardware. Made in-house by Bundnerbike, the wheels, especially the one at the rear, are enough to leave onlookers gasping in awe.
We're told that rear piece of sculpted metal, milled from a single solid piece and held in place by a single-sided swingarm (specifically created for this build), took about a year to develop. Time well spent, if you ask me…
The main body elements of the Breakout (meaning the fuel tank and the rear fender, as there's no such piece over the front wheel) are made by Bundnerbike as well, and they look like they've always belonged on the Blue Wonder.
The line of the original bike was broken by sinking the seat down into the frame, which makes the riding position less comfortable but certainly a lot more impressive.
We're not given the specifics of the modifications made, but the importance of exact specs kind of fades into the distance when faced with something so beautiful. And we're not even bothered by the utter lack of info into how much the project is worth, or who was it made for.
Bundnerbike seems to be aware of just how impressive the Blue Breakout Wonder is so this time, instead of showing us just pics of the bike shot in a studio, we're treated to the two-wheeler snapped on camera in what looks like a mine.
That's not something we get to see every day, and only adds to the impact the sight of the bike has on us. Check the attached gallery to see what I mean.
