The Type 8 from Auto Fabrica embodies a darker aesthetic, blending elements of aggression, beauty, and refinement seamlessly.

This build commenced during the Type 6 project, another high-end motorcycle emerging from the workshop. It features a distinctive single-body design where the tank and seat blend harmoniously. Inspired by the riding positions and proportions of bobber motorcycles, it strips away unnecessary embellishments. The rebuilt and refined engine, prominently featuring the CX500 lump, takes center stage, complemented by organically flowing sand-bent pipes that abruptly traverse the length of this unique machine.

Following its showcase at various motorcycle and design exhibitions, the Type 8 found a passionate owner in the United Arab Emirates, where it is cherished and enjoyed to its fullest extent.
