Two wheels, a seat, a big ol' motor and the absolute bare minimum of other stuff supporting them. The Birdcage uses 134 titanium rods to create a surreal see-through lattice frame on one of the most spectacular custom BMWs we've seen to date - and the motor presents a bit of a mystery.

After some successful prototyping, an Italian company is gearing up to go into production of a bizarre and unique boutique motorcycle. The Nembo 32 is a naked sports machine featuring an upside-down, three-cylinder, 2-liter motor making 200 horsepower.

The 90s were a truly great era for basketball and for motorcycling, so a German shoe shop has decided to combine two absolute 90s legends – Michael Jordan and the Ducati 916 – into a custom bike to celebrate the launch of the latest Air Jordan sneakers.

The 1934 BMW R7 concept is well known as one of history's most beautiful and priceless machines, its wild art deco styling standing up well in the modern day. Now, a Miami custom builder has recreated the R7 using the thoroughly modern guts of the current model R NineT. And you can buy one.

Impractical? Sure! Vulgar? Most certainly. Unique? In every sense. This staggering custom motorcycle uses the biggest pair of hubless wheels we've ever seen, as well as placing the rider astride a snarling, 300-horsepower Rolls-Royce aircraft engine. Live in fear – of corners, if nothing else.

We've seen many custom motorcycles made out of the BMW R NineT, but we've never seen one remotely like this. It's either a hideous futuristic deformity, or the ultimate artistic expression of BMW's design ethos, and we're not sure if we love it, hate it or hate to love it.
