Revival Build Bio

We’ve finally made it through what turned out to be a pretty challenging year. Here at Revival, we're eternally grateful to have been allowed to keep the shop open through these most difficult of times, and we feel incredibly fortunate to be working on all these beautiful bikes for our amazing clients. On the cusp of the new year, and in the spirit of looking on the bright side, here are just a few of our favorite builds of 2020.

(1) We celebrated Burt Munro, inspired by Donny Dye’s meeting the Spirit of Munro team at Bonneville in 2017, when they set a new world record. Donny fell in love with the Indian Scout and decided he just had to have one.

(2) We set out to build a fun beach hopper and ended up with a practical build that retained the innovation and quality of a stock Husqy. Revival’s design cues and premium finishes resulted in a raw, brutal machine.

(3) Alan rode Revival's latest build out to the lakes on a glorious spring day. He explained the various upgrades and modifications to the BMW R90Esq, then took it through its paces on the open road.

(4) We looked at the modifications and upgrades to a 2019 Triumph Thruxton TFC Limited Edition. We streamlined the silhouette, improved the electrics, and added state-of-the-art performance parts.

(5) Revival restored a super rare BMW R68, the bike that launched a design lineage prevalent today in BMW Motorrad's newly released R18. A one-year-only model, there were just eleven hundred made, and this was BMW's first 100mph bike.
