A peek at the turbo’d Yamaha that took top honors at the Forged Invitational show, a wild FZ-09 by Droog Moto, Chris Nelson’s custom Ducati Scrambler, and a modded Ducati 749 that tips the scales at just 378 pounds. Variety, as they say, is the spice of life.

Yamaha FZ-09 by Droog Moto Concepts Arizona-based Droog Moto Concepts seem to have a penchant for post-apocalyptic builds. Their latest project is this FZ-09 based scrambler that looks ready to run down a fleet of flesh-eating zombies.
It?s riding on TKC80s and fitted with a front fender barely big enough to rest a beer bottle on?so the mudslinging potential of this triple-powered build is outshone by its brawler appearance. The rear subframe is an all-new, snubbed unit that supports an elevated perch. In fact, everything is elevated here, because the suspension has been reworked to deliver an extra two inches of travel.
LED lighting keeps things legal while maintaining the stealthy approach, there?s a custom tracker-style plate up front, and the wheels are fitted with solid inserts. The tank is sporting the signature Droog finish, and the cockpit has been reworked with a new set of bars and Biltwell grips.
The speedo has been relocated atop the front plate and announces that this bike is ?Not Like the Others.? If Droog-level aggression stirs your imagination, around $15k will get you started on a bike along these lines. [More]
