Bandit9 is a Chinese motorcycle customizing shop based out of Beijing and run by “Bandit Chief” Daryl Villanueva. They made some waves earlier in the year with the Eve, a very visually striking motorcycle:
Or maybe you prefer actually being able to see the bike?
Anyway, the Eve is still available for between $6,000-$7,000 through the Bandit9 site. While it’s worth checking out Bandit9’s fleet of previous bikes, I’m featuring them today because they’re currently accepting pre-orders on their new concept, the Bishop:
Just 9 will be made of this limited edition. The mechanical aspects are similar to the EVE, which was based on a Honda 90 or 125. Obviously, there’s plenty of custom work that’s gone into this, including the wood panels, custom exhaust, suspension, and rear sets. You’ll also get, disappointingly, an electric starter. Pre-orders are available here on the Bandit9 site for $6,400-$6,800 plus shipping.
