Rat Tracker (BMW Custom Bikes)

BMW Custom Bikes: Rat Tracker

Kevil's Speed Shop.

The customizer at Kevil’s Speed Shop were infected with the passion and enthusiasm for the R nineT and built their very own version. Their topic: 'Rat Rod'. The base design was to remain unchanged that the bike is immediately to be detected as an R nineT. With patinated edges and a Nefarius lining, the guys from Great Britain have created a true old school look. In addition to the startling colour, the striking exhaust system, the wide tyres and the whole front arrange for the aggressive and powerful appearance. Yet, as is generally known, the devil is in the details: diamond pattern on the seat, LED-indicator by Motogadget, the headlamp housing, and much more... What was created is a rusty red Rat Tracker that polarises, but no matter if you find it good or not – it definitely stands out.

Spirit of Zeller (BMW)

BMW Custom Bikes: Spirit of Zeller
The Spirit of Zeller is a homage to the German racing legend, Walter Zeller. Inspired by the BMW RS 54 from 1954, the customisers at Officine Sbrannetti put everything into the modifications, making use of all their technical craftsmanship. The original seat was replaced with a new handmade one, wrapped entirely in leather. The protective plates are formed from solid metal. To ensure even more motor racing character, they fitted two separate handlebars, which made space for a simple 50s style speedometer. The "Mass" exhaust system provides the appropriate sound. The Italian customiser didn't hold back with the bike's paint. And to ensure that the completely new paint scheme doesn't get scratched, there is a leather tank belt for protection. The silver grey elements such as the fork, wheel rims, handlebar covers, valve covers and Cardan shaft drive provide a contrast to the colour. The colourful highlight is the bright yellow number plates with start numbers cut from aluminium. There's no doubt: the guys at Officine Sbrannetti have created a genuine racing bike from the R nineT. That's why they're in pole position for us.

Ducati Monster 821

The new Ducati Monster 821 will be the premium entry-level Monster in India. To be launched soon at around Rs 9 lakh, the 821 will replace the existing 795 and 796. Before that, we spend some time riding it around northern Thailand Bologna dove corre la passione (Italian for “Bologna, where passion runs”) - is the motto Ducati swears by. And that’s what, Ducati says, is the driving force behind the new Monster 821. Passion certainly is what drives Monsteristi – fans of the Monster - who have made it the single highest selling Ducati model, accounting for nearly one half of Ducati sales worldwide. Muscular, aggressive looks accentuated by the exposed engine and trellis frame are the trademark design cues of the Monster. And that design, complemented by raw appeal and performance, has continued for years over various models of the Monster since it was first introduced in 1993. The new 821 is no different and carries forward the Monster name and appeal, but in a new guise with all the tech bells and whistles of a modern motorcycle.

Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom

Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom

Estimated Price : 9.00 lakh
Harley-Davidson is all-set to expand its Indian portfolio. The Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom will be the latest entrant to the Indian cruiser market. The American bikemaker had recently removed the Sportster 883 from the Indian market and the new motorcycle is the replacement for the above. The Sportster 1200 Custom will be the third motorcycle under the Sportster range for the Indian motorcycle market after the Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight and Iron 883. The styling of the motorcycle is typical to an American cruiser with dollops of chrome and the design influence of the Sportster 883 can be easily seen albeit the proportion of the bike being understandably larger. It maintains the trademark Harley-Davidson styling and should appeal buyers planning to upgrade to large displacement cruiser bikes. The floating instrument console is placed on the handlebar similar to the Harley-Davidson Breakout. The large fuel tank has a capacity of 17 litres which would be useful while munching the miles on the highway.
