MYTH MOTOR
Myth Motor is Matias Corea, a one-man custom motorcycle shop in Brooklyn, NY. My builds are the culmination of years of design experience, an obsession for BMW airhead motorcycles, a passion for their mechanics, and a never-ending curiosity for exploring the world's furthest places and connecting with their cultures and landscapes through a motorcycle.

Matias moved to Brooklyn, NY, in 2002 to further his design career and expand his horizons by living abroad. In his first 15 years in NY, Matias worked as a designer, co-founded a tech company and an in-camera filmmaking company was a creative director and partner in a motorcycle apparel store in Brooklyn.
