This week we bring you an electric motocrosser with dino styling, an aggro Suzuki SV650 from Thailand and a couple of classy cafe racers. And Rough Crafts’ Winston Yeh reveals his daily runner.

Tarform Ducati Scrambler 250 Taras Kravtchouk is a Swedish product designer living in New York, and the founder of award winning design agency Gravity Hill. Oh, and he’s also pretty handy with a wrench, judging by this gorgeous vintage Ducati Scrambler.
The story goes that Belstaff approached Taras after he’d done some branding work for them, to create a bike for their flagship store on Madison Ave. in New York. Four years later, and Taras had built several bikes, now on display as far afield as Tokyo.
This little cracker’s gracing the floor of Belstaff’s Milano location, so a classic Ducati 250 single was a logical choice. A donor Ducati Scrambler was found in Florida via Ebay, and shipped to Taras’ Brooklyn workshop. The bike was stripped down, the frame cleaned up and the subframe fettled to accommodate a hand-shaped cowl. Longer rear shocks and clip-ons drive the cafe racer styling home. As for the final finishes, Taras stripped the paint off the stock tank, polished it and left it raw?then carried that effect through most of the bike to emphasise the Ducati’s stunning engine. It’s just a real pity that it’s destined to spend its days in a shop window. With thanks to Ryan Handt. [More]
