ARES Modena (formerly ARES Design) modifies already stunning, high-performance exotic vehicles for the customization-hungry affluent. Now, they’ve branched out into motorcycles, and we have to say it’s a worthy move. The ARES Design R nineT-based “Bullet” is a blistering beauty of a café racer that draws from vintage Grand Prix racers. It uses, of course, the powerful Beamer R Nine-T as the donor bike and adds custom carbon fiber bodywork in a bold colorway, a multi-function LED headlight, Kineo wheels, adjustable Matris rear suspension, custom swing-arm, Brembo brakes, and custom handlebars. Power comes from the R Nine-T’s 1,170cc boxer twin and adds custom pod filters and a special ceramic-coated exhaust system. Bespoke leather upholstery comes in the form of handlebar grips, tank strap, and the saddle. Only 25 units will be made and built-to-order with customization options to make it even more special.
