You can find there our project Halier!

“Brilliantly demonstrating the less-is-more build ethos, Earth Moto’s Hailer is undoubtedly one of the cleanest BMW’s to come across our inbox in quite a while.”

“Based on the stellar results of its latest work — entitled “Budzogan” — we’re extremely optimistic about the future builds that will be rolling out of EARTH Moto’s Slovakian HQ.”

“Earth Moto is building an impressive reputation for its builds, largely because of its commitment to maintaining the highest standards and for creating absolutely stunning bikes.”

“Stripped down to the basics with a flawless stance, it’s a worthy contender among its peers.”

“If we were the owner of this fine steed, it will end up as a conversation piece dead center in our living spaces. The Budzogan makes us crave for more from EARTH Motorcycles and we hope they deliver soon.“

“A l’heure actuelle, la réputation de BMW comme motoriste deux-roues n’est plus à faire. Mais saviez-vous que la marque produisait à l’origine des moteurs d’avion ? Découvrez pourquoi le constructeur bavarois s’est orienté vers la moto et comment Earth Motorcycles lui rend hommage à travers cette R100RT Hailer.”

“Crafting another incredible creation from the basis of a BMW R, Earth Motorcycles have put another checkmark against the models claim to be top of the pops, and it’s on the rest of the contenders to come and try and claim the crown.“

“Cette BMW R100 RT millésime 1993 baptisée « Halier » est d’abord une finition bluffante digne d’ une Triumph TFC qui se mesure au temps passé par l’atelier slovaque Earth Motorcycles pour la modifier : 52 jours.”

They say that you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, but no one bothered telling Earth Motorcycles that. The Slovakian custom shop has just built an elegant and somewhat alluring café racer out of the most unlikely donor; a Yamaha Virago.

It’s the biggest automotive show on the planet, with thousands of vehicles and exhibitor booths to check out, but as has been the case for years now, the crowds at last weekend’s SEMA Show made a beeline for the Ring Brothers display. They simply build the cleanest custom street machines on the planet, and it’s that clean look, with absolutely nothing out of place, and every detail picture-perfect, that has become the standard for being at the top of the custom game. And in the world of two wheels, few did it better than Ales and Vlad, from Slovakia’s Earth Motorcycles. They were back with ‘Richtar’, another beautiful BMW, and this 1991 R100RT is as perfect and pristine as they come.

For an industry where vintage, classic and retro are common terms, the custom bike scene is proving to be one of the true early adopters and innovators in using the latest technology. CAD software has become infinitely more affordable these days and so to additive manufacturing processes. However, because you have access to these tools doesn’t guarantee a great result, but this bike just might be one of the best examples to date of a client and customiser using the latest technology to create a beautiful modern classic motorcycle. Rather than discussing a vision he had in his head, the client sent Slovakia’s Earth Motorcycles a single CAD file. From that one email, the guys have done an incredible job in creating a stunning Royal Enfield 650 cafe racer that brilliantly combines old and new.

The first time you build a custom bike, you tend to make a lot of mistakes, which means stripping the bike back down and often damaging fresh paint and rounding off new bolts. But most builders out there are self-taught, so we all learn the hard way and have a few horror stories that leave a minor scar. But Earth Motorcycles just doesn’t have these kinds of issues, they do everything once and they do it absolutely perfectly. What you get from the Slovak outfit is not just a cool as can be custom machine, but practically a brand new motorbike. It’s no wonder then that the customers are lining up, and having seen a beautiful black BMW R80 on these pages last year, a local lad made the call and ordered this picture perfect pitch black Bavarian from the Stará Turá based outfit.

The talented Slovaks at Earth Motorcycles have worked their custom magic on bikes from several brands, but the one they keep coming back to is BMW. More specifically, Vlado Dinga and Ales Tomis are very fond of classic Bavarian airheads, so a good chunk of their build archive is taken up by such machines. The latest among them can be seen in this article’s photo gallery.

Run by Ales Tomis and Vladimir Dinga, EARTH Motorcycles is a Slovakia-based customs outfit that, despite having been in operation for less than three years, has already proven that it can deliver builds that are on par with projects from the world’s most established and elite bespoke bike builders, with ultra-clean and minimalistic designs that are executed with a factory-level finish. And for the shop’s fifth build, EARTH is continuing this tradition with a bespoke BMW R80 titled “Dzivaak.”

The BMW R100R appeared in 1992, combining the proven chassis and flat-twin boxer engine of the GS with Showa suspension, Brembo brakes with floating discs, an electronic diagnostic socket, and other modern surprises. Styled as a retro bike, the R100R was actually the most advanced boxer in the near 70-year history of the brand.

If you are undecided between having a custom Cafe Racer, or a Custom Scrambler, this video is perfect for you. Because it presents a project, that solves the 1 seater limitation. Imagine if you could have 2 custom Bikes, but using one single motorcycle. This is what the beautifulBMW R80 presented on this video is all about. It was built by Vlado Dinga, and Ales Tomis, founders of "Earth Motorcycles", from Slovakia. I am sure you will like it.

If you are a fan of the Yamaha Virago, you will be very impressed with the project presented on this video. Because it is one of the most spectacular Viragos I have ever seen. This Yamaha XV 920 Cafe Racer, was built in slovakia, by Vlado Dinga, founder of "Earth Motorcycles", and his friend Ales Tomis. I am sure you will like it.
