Bike Of The Day: Motul Onirika 2853

This stunning neo-café racer is the work of Officine GP Design, and it was commissioned by Motul with the sole purpose of being auctioned off to raise money for a charity that supports underprivileged kids. Officine GP Design got stuck in, and created one of the most exceptional modern interpretations of a café racer, that sold for an impressive price.

Built on top of an MV Agusta Brutale 800, the Onirika 2853 is something of a cyberpunk homage to single-seat urban racers. There’s not a lot left of MV Agusta’s original machine, but the muscular physique remains, along with MV’s powerful 798cc triple-cylinder engine. Almost every other part on this motorcycle was hand-fabricated, and it was well worth the effort.

The Motul Onirika 2853 debuted at Verona’s Motor Bike Expo back in 2016, and it was met with a positive reaction. It certainly inspired a few bidders to get out their checkbooks, because when the hammer fell to signal the end of the auction, this unique and eye-catching modern café racer sold for a whopping $34,000.
