The VTR Customs team proudly presents the BMW R 18 Conceptbike, aptly named “IRON ANNIE.”
This extraordinary creation marks a significant milestone for the renowned Swiss custom motorcycle builders, as it represents their most ambitious R 18 project to date.
“IRON ANNIE” draws its inspiration from the iconic Junkers 52 Airplane from the 1930s, a symbol of aviation’s golden era.
What makes this masterpiece truly exceptional is the meticulous craftsmanship invested in every detail. Every component of “IRON ANNIE” is expertly handcrafted by the talented artisan known as Cello.
Using a sheet alloy as his canvas, Cello has sculpted a motorcycle that pays homage to the industrial aesthetics of the 1930s while embracing modern engineering and design.
The result is a one-of-a-kind BMW R 18 Conceptbike that seamlessly fuses vintage aviation design with cutting-edge motorcycle technology.
“IRON ANNIE” is a testament to VTR Customs’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of customization and creating truly unique, museum-quality motorcycles that captivate the imagination of enthusiasts worldwide.

‘Nordic Style’ parts
Body
There are some parts rearranged just a tad, just so that everything looks a bit different and tighter. The oil cooler got a slightly downwards angle to make it less significant. The rear fender was cut and slimmed and the sub frame was reworked to fit the flow, as well as the rear suspension was changed to an Öhlins damper to get the lower ride height.
Rim dimensions
Instead of the original 16” rear wheel and 19” in front, UCC went for 18” rear and 21” front.
Suspension and brakes
The inverted Öhlins fork looks great, and the original 300mm-disc brakes got changed to 340mm ISR discs with Brembo calipers. Not because it is needed, but simply because of the stance. The rear brake is still a 300mm disc and the original 4-piston caliper.
Headlights and handlebars
“The head light is a 5 ¾” instead of the 7” that is original”, says Ronna, who also made the handle bars.
Exhaust
The exhaust system is UCCs own design and the saddle was custom made by Silver Machine in Holland.
Paint
After painting the engine black, master painter Håkan Lindberg took care of the burnt orange you see on the tank.
