For their first build, Hyde Designs from Cape Town have quickly gained the attention of those with a keen eye for a great looking bike. The Hyde Octavia BMW X Challenge Motorcycle was built in six months and used the BMW X Challenge for its 650 Rotax engine, open swingarm, and main structural frame. The finished product is quite a departure from the BMW though, with an angular custom-welded steel tank and a fiberglass tail. Dubbed “Octavia”, it’s a dark, modern Café Racer that’s sure to turn heads.
