RevTech-Powered Sunrise Looks Great Against a Wall, And Probably Everywhere Else

The world of custom motorcycles is dominated by projects based on existing platforms. The largest bunch is made up of Harley-Davidsons, of course, followed by Indians, and then probably Triumphs and all the rest.

As much as we’d like for it to be different, full custom bikes, meaning the ones built from scratch, are not that easy to come by. That’s even more true over in Europe, where the many shops there find it a lot easier to mess with two wheelers someone else previously put together.

That’s not what happens with a German specialist going by the name Augustin Motorcycles. When it comes to this guy, the words of the day are full customs, like we’ve seen with the handful of his bikes we’ve already covered.

Our focus falls today on another of his projects, the so-called Sunrise, a “sporty aggressive” bike wearing yellow multi-layer paint sprinkled with black. It’s a design like pretty much all the others, but sporting a different engine and slightly different other parts.

The frame is made in-house using 140 mm monotube-d metal, and holding within itself the fuel tank, 8.5 liters (2.2 gallons) in size. The frame is curved in a hunchback fashion, and the curvature is replicated by the pipes of the custom exhaust system. Inside the frame, Augustin fitted a RevTech engine, 88ci in displacement, tied to an Ultima 6-speed transmission and a chain drive.

Up front, the whole assembly rests on an 18-inch wheel in five-spoke design, and a matching piece is used for the rear, where a single-sided swingarm has also been fitted. Behind the front wheel, we get Brembo braking hardware, while the one at the rear was supplied by Lottermanns.

When fully assembled, the Sunrise ended up measuring 2,370 mm (93.3 inches) in length and 910 mm (35.8 inches) in height. The weight of the bike is rated at 450 kg (992 pounds).

We are not told how much the Sunrise cost to put together (for reference, the last Augustin bike we talked about had a sticker reading close to $90,000), but we are informed this bike has already found a new owner.
