1 of 9 – Bandit9 Eve

In Custom, Japan, Small Displacement by Tim HuberLeave a Comment

Bandit9 is by far one of the most creative companies building motorcycles today. Their designs are objectively unique and creative as hell. Though Bandit9’s bikes are technically small production runs, these machines are still pretty rare and incredibly well priced considering the quality and character of their motorcycles.

This bike was designed by Daryl Villanueva and uses a 1976 Honda 125cc engine housed in a seldom-seen steel unibody frame/tank, that also functions as the tail-section and connecting points for both the front and rear suspension, (other than the swing arm). The Unibody is also finished in chrome with bronze accents in addition to being hand worked. This small-displacement creation is is one of nine built with the bikes being offered in 90 and 125cc option.

In addition to the artistic fabrication that is this 125’s unibody, there’s a handful of other custom parts that make up this bike such as exhaust and routing, “Cattle-skin leather seat”, controls, handmade rearsets, aluminum indicators, and Quartz glass brake-light. This is by far one of the most unique two-wheelers out there though I imagine its looks are pretty hit or miss to most people.

Here’s a promotional video:

This interesting example is the only one in the US but apparently does NOT have a title and is being sold from a collection, though the bike having only two miles on it makes it far less suspicious, as does the (EPA/DOT 25 year compliant) paperwork the seller had which would enable you to in theory get a title for it. You can find this bullet of a 125 for sale in Fletcher, North Carolina here on CafeRacersForSale with a price of $9,500.
