Custom Bikes Of The Week: 18 December, 2016
An incredible vintage BMW model built using Lego, a Ducati GT1000 turned into a beautiful scrambler, and a Yamaha RD350 drag bike spitting out 90 horsepower. Let’s end the year with a bang.
Ducati GT1000 by 2 Loud Whether it?s from a distance or close up, you?d be forgiven if you thought this scrambler rolled out of a Deus shop. I know I certainly did. The stance, the surfboard rack mounted on the port side? hell, even the font used on the tank is reminiscent of the Australian company?s ethos. But this isn?t a Deus bike.
Based in New Taipei City, 2 Loud Custom Shop is um, quietly building a reputation for cranking out some exquisite rides. A quick perusal of their back catalog highlights some impressive skills. The latest to see the light of day is this Ducati GT1000, which has been given a scrambled aesthetic. Many of the changes are cosmetic in nature, but the execution looks spot on. From the flattened and hooped rear subframe to the high-mount front fender and the chunky Pirelli Scorpion Rally rubber, this Duc looks like it?d be a blast to roost on the beach. Our only quibbles come from a lack of extra suspension travel and the exposed running gear on that Desmo mill. Sure, it looks great in the imagery, but cleaning sand out of there would absolutely suck. [More]
BMW R60/2 by Lego® It?s rare, but every now and then, we stumble across a build that every reader would probably love to own. It?s even rarer when that build is something most readers can afford?...
