rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;In his famous blog &quot;Motosketches&quot;&lt;/a&gt;, the legendary Obiboy (a.k.a Oberdan Bezzi)—no longer much of a boy by now, just like me — described his awesome proposal for the new MotoGuzzi W180 Magnum Sport as follows:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;&lt;i&gt;With a surge of unexpected Italian pride, MOTO GUZZI could finally reveal its cards and make it known to the motorcycling world that its apparent and depressing long &quot;sleep,&quot; devoid of exciting novelties, was due to the fact that the sensational new engine innovation was finally ready, destined to power an entire new range of Super Guzzis!
The new 1800cc V2 engine, four valves per cylinder, air/oil-cooled with monstrous torque and decisively more powerful than all twin-cylinder engines with equal technical characteristics, which, also given its surprisingly contained weight, would have all the numbers to become a true example for the competition to follow.
Suitable for any type of motorcycle of the classic MotoGuzzi philosophy, for its debut at the concept level, it would instead be provocatively inserted to power a highly stylish naked sport bike, so as to enhance its monumental cylinders in the skimpy clothes of a granddaughter emulating her grandmother, the V7 Sport.
Certainly, the Concept could capture many hearts, but more realistically, the new engine might debut on a new California or on a luxurious touring GranTurismo. However, there is no harm in letting the imagination run wild.
Perhaps the imagination has gone too far?&lt;/i&gt;&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;At Inazuma Café, creative vision is never in short supply.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;For instance, one might imagine a Sportclassic version of the Magnum 1.8 proposal.
It is presented here, with the hope that the boldness of the interpretation will be forgiven.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;_____&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://motosketches.blogspot.com/2026/05/moto-guzzi-v-180-magnum-sport.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Nel suo celebre Blog “Motosketches”,&lt;/a&gt; il mitico Obiboy – Ormai non molto più boy, come il sottoscritto, del resto – Oberdan Bezzi, ha così descritto la sua straordinaria proposta di nuova MotoGuzzi W180 Magnum Sport: &lt;br /&gt;“&lt;i&gt;Con un impeto di inaspettato orgoglio Italico MOTO GUZZI potrebbe finalmente scoprire le carte e rendere noto al mondo motociclistico che il suo apparente e deprimente lungo &quot;sonno&quot; privo di novità eccitanti, era dovuto al fatto che fosse alla buon ora pronta  la nuova eclatante novità motoristica, destinata a equipaggiare tutta una nuova gamma di Super Guzzi!
Il nuovo motore V2 da 1800cc. quattro valvole per cilindro, raffreddato ad aria/olio dalla coppia mostruosa e decisamente più potente di tutti i bicilindrici con pari caratteristiche tecniche, che dato anche il suo peso sorprendentemente contenuto avrebbe tutti i numeri per diventare un vero esempio da seguire per la concorrenza.
Adatto ad ogni tipologia di moto della filosofia classica MotoGuzzi, sarebbe invece per il suo debutto a livello di concept, provocatoriamente inserito ad equipaggiare una stilosissima naked sportiva, così da esaltarne i monumentali cilindri nelle succinte vesti di una nipotina emula della nonna V7 Sport.
Certamente il Concept potrebbe far innamorare più di uno, ma più realisticamente la nuova motorizzazione potrebbe debuttare su una nuova California o su una lussuosa GranTurismo da viaggio, ma non poniamo limiti alla fantasia!
O forse ne abbiamo messa troppa???&lt;/i&gt;”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Concordo in pieno!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;E qui all’Inazuma Cafè, fantasia non ce ne manca!
E allora, perché non immaginare una versione Sportclassic della Magnum1.8 di Oberdan?
Eccola!
E speriamo che Oberdan ci perdoni l’ardire!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuyhLpAg4zrpm0y8ATReSKz9UAZV24kFR87QwzZ6jGlX5nhl6TZOVNpbXaUgJF9kDcB2cYePR8iayCuUQ8yrumgTS2fnvIdYgg_M6ke_cPcytjsaq9WMhbjGfszXtcPCP8MQcr9VuIQKmhDMXtpqkL1OmSSaDNm9yIW4oq0p58xA5GP6fv0d6cdqzLvyQ/s2200/Guzzi00004.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1375&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuyhLpAg4zrpm0y8ATReSKz9UAZV24kFR87QwzZ6jGlX5nhl6TZOVNpbXaUgJF9kDcB2cYePR8iayCuUQ8yrumgTS2fnvIdYgg_M6ke_cPcytjsaq9WMhbjGfszXtcPCP8MQcr9VuIQKmhDMXtpqkL1OmSSaDNm9yIW4oq0p58xA5GP6fv0d6cdqzLvyQ/s16000/Guzzi00004.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

To drastically shed unsprung mass, the bike has been fitted with premium, ultra-lightweight carbon fiber wheels by Rotobox (€5,000), wrapped in aggressive Dunlop Sportmax Mutant tires engineered for maximum grip across all surfaces. The front end delivers laser-sharp handling thanks to a brand-new Yamaha R1, track-ready, Öhlins front fork. Rounding out the cockpit are bespoke billet triple clamps, custom headlight brackets, and clip-on handlebars, all precision-crafted by IMA. 
Jerem Motorcycles spared no expense when it came to braking performance and onboard electronics. Stopping power is handled by a complete Beringer Brakes system, perfectly paired with a matching clutch lever. The sleek cockpit integrates high-tech Motogadget components, including a digital gauge, an M-unit controller, bar-end turn signals, and a streamlined rear brake light. On the performance side, an electronic quickshifter (up/down) seamlessly pairs with ultra-minimalist switchgears. 
Visually, the build is rounded out by a bespoke, one-off custom exhaust system, various structural carbon fiber accents, low-profile Highsider rear indicators, lot of eye candy details, and a classic cafe racer solo tail section that slims down the rear profile.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;A piece of rolling mechanical art, currently up for sale at a not cheap price tag of nearly €15,000 — a figure justified by the exclusive, high-performance components that define the build.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;_____&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Realizzata in collaborazione con Thorn bikes, questa GSX750 Inazuma del 2002 e soli 28.000 km percorsi in 24 anni è una ricostruzione radicale firmata Jerem Motorcycles.&amp;nbsp; L&#39;officina francese ha ridefinito i confini del restomod neo-rétro con una special d&#39;élite dal valore realizzativo straordinario, pensata per chi cerca il massimo equilibrio tra estetica vintage e prestazioni da moderne superbike.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Il punto di forza di questa customizzazione risiede in un comparto tecnico di primissimo livello, che stravolge la classica impostazione stradale della Inazuma:
costosi cerchi in carbonio ultraleggeri Rotobox (5.000€) per abbattere le masse non sospese, abbinati a coperture Dunlop Sportmax Mutant per un look aggressivo e un grip ottimale su ogni superficie; avantreno chirurgico con forcella Öhlins di derivazione Yamaha R1 nuova di fabbrica; nuova piastre di sterzo, supporto faro e semimanubri ricavati dal pieno (realizzati da IMA). Jerem non ha badato a spese nemmeno per l&#39;impianto frenante e l&#39;elettronica di bordo: 
sistema completo Beringer Brakes con leva frizione coordinata; strumentazione digitale, centralina M-unit, indicatori di direzione a manubrio e luce stop posteriore Motogadget,

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The Art of Hand-Formed Metal: Lorenzo Fugaroli’s Fiat Topolino Corsa&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;In the world of high-end customs and premium restorations, returning to traditional, old-school techniques represents the ultimate sign of respect for automotive history. A masterclass in this approach comes straight from the Marchigian workshop of Lorenzo Fugaroli (FMW Motorcycles), the mastermind behind the extraordinary bodywork of this Fiat Topolino Corsa.
The centerpiece of the build is its outer skin, entirely hand-formed from aluminum. Fugaroli chose to leave the metal completely bare, skipping the paint altogether—a bold stylistic choice that leaves absolutely no room for flaws. The brushed finish accentuates every single line of the car, highlighting the complex flow of curves that sweep from the fenders to the aerodynamic hood, before seamlessly blending into the truncated tail.
The cockpit mirrors this same material and geometric discipline. The aluminum dashboard houses vintage analog gauges, framed by a lightweight three-spoke wooden steering wheel. Meanwhile, classic red leather bucket seats provide a sharp, elegant contrast against the pure silver of the bodywork.
With this build, Lorenzo Fugaroli proves that transitioning from two wheels to four leaves the core philosophy unchanged: top-tier Italian craftsmanship, capable of transforming raw sheet metal into a work of millimeter precision.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;____&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;L&#39;arte del metallo battuto: la Fiat Topolino Corsa di Lorenzo Fugaroli (FMW - Fugar Metal Worker)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Nel mondo del custom e del restauro d&#39;eccellenza, il ritorno alle tecniche d&#39;origine rappresenta la massima espressione di rispetto per la storia automobilistica. Un esempio magistrale di questo approccio ci arriva dall&#39;officina marchigiana di Lorenzo Fugaroli (FMW Motorcycles), che ha firmato la straordinaria carrozzeria di questa Fiat Topolino Corsa.
L&#39;elemento centrale del progetto è il rivestimento esterno, interamente realizzato in alluminio battuto a mano. Lorenzo ha scelto di lasciare il metallo completamente a nudo, rinunciando alla verniciatura: una decisione stilistica coraggiosa che non ammette imperfezioni. La finitura spazzolata mette in risalto ogni singola linea della vettura, evidenziando la complessa transizione delle curve che dai parafanghi passano al cofano aerodinamico, fino a raccordarsi con la coda tronca.
Anche l&#39;abitacolo riflette lo stesso rigore geometrico e materico. Il cruscotto in alluminio ospita una strumentazione analogica d&#39;epoca, incorniciata da un volante a tre razze alleggerite con corona in legno, mentre i classici sedili a guscio rivestiti in pelle rossa creano un netto e raffinato contrasto cromatico con la purezza argentea della scocca.
Con questa build, Lorenzo Fugaroli dimostra come la transizione dalle due alle quattro ruote mantenga intatto lo stesso comune denominatore: l&#39;altissimo artigianato italiano, capace di trasformare la lamiera grezza in un&#39;opera di precisione millimetrica.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;This design concept by Inazuma Café reimagines the Suzuki GSX 750 Inazuma, using a build from a few years ago featuring Motoforza components as its foundation. The result is a muscular café racer with aggressive proportions.
The Defining Details… Razor-Sharp Tail: The fiberglass monoposto cowl flows seamlessly into a bespoke, vibrant red leather saddle. Two-Tone Paintwork: A sophisticated silver and black scheme, accented by red pinstriping, accentuates the contours of the stock fuel tank. Racing Stance: Clubman handlebars deliver an assertive, forward-leaning riding position while preserving the factory top triple tree. Dramatic Exhaust: The 4-into-1-into-2 system pairs gleaming chrome headers with high-mount dual mufflers tucked neatly beneath the tail. Breathing and Powertrain: The blacked-out engine block now breathes freely through high-performance conical pod filters. Spoked Wheels: Custom wire-spoke wheels with gloss-red rims inject an irresistible dose of retro craftsmanship into the chassis.
A masterclass in digital styling that underscores the limitless potential of Hamamatsu’s classic naked bike.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Inazuma Café Concept: Il Fulmine si fa Muscoloso&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Questo concept grafico di Inazuma Café reimmagina la Suzuki GSX 750 Inazuma, prendendo come base una creazione di qualche anno fa realizzata con componenti Motoforza. Il risultato è una café racer muscolosa e dalle proporzioni aggressive.
Dettagli che fanno la differenza. Estetica affilata: il codino monoposto in vetroresina si raccorda alla perfezione con la sella artigianale in cuoio rosso acceso. Verniciatura bicolore: l&#39;elegante accostamento di argento e nero con filetti rossi esalta le curve del serbatoio originale. Postura da corsa: il manubrio clubman garantisce una posizione di guida caricata in avanti senza snaturare la piastra superiore. Scarico scenografico: il sistema 4-in-1-in-2 unisce i collettori cromati a un doppio terminale alto, integrato sotto il codino. Aspirazione e motore: il blocco motore nero opaco respira ora a polmoni aperti grazie a filtri a cono sportivi. Ruote a raggi: i cerchi custom a raggi con canale rosso lucido donano un irresistibile tocco rétro e artigianale alla ciclistica.
Un esercizio di stile digitale che mostra il potenziale infinito della classica naked di Hamamatsu.&lt;/div&gt;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;DNA Cyberpunk: 1978 Honda CX 500 &quot;Schockmomente&quot; by Luuc Muis&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The Honda CX 500, affectionately (or rather, notoriously) dubbed the Güllepumpe (liquid manure pump) in Germany, has always been a wild card for customizers. While some try to soften its quirky lines, Dutch designer Luuc Muis chose to double down on the shock factor.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Born in 3D modeling software before coming to life in the workshop, this 1978 CX 500 is a pure tribute to a &quot;no-bullshit&quot; attitude. Luuc stripped a massive 60 kg off the bike, reworking the rear subframe to support an ultra-short aluminum solo seat that seems to float mid-air. Up front, he swapped in a complete Suzuki GSX-R 1000 front end, which in its original build was paired with the stock cast alloy wheel. Out back, the monoshock conversion spins an Excel spoked wheel sourced from an old Goldwing GL 1000. Mags in the front, spokes in the back—a sacrilege for purists, but &quot;pure intent&quot; according to Luuc.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Well, in this custom Inazumized version, we are turning things up a notch by reimagining Luuc&#39;s masterpiece with a matching Excel spoked wheel at the front as well. Not only that: we opted for a striking, fiery red instead of the heavy yellow paint on the rear spring and the driveshaft housing. That’s just how we roll here at Inazuma Café.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Feeding the beast are Keihin carburetors with upsized jets, pod filters, and a custom short exhaust that is unapologetically loud. This machine made its tarmac debut at the Zandvoort sprint races, instantly polarizing the crowd between absolute infatuation and sheer horror. But then again, isn&#39;t that exactly what customizing is all about?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;La Honda CX 500, affettuosamente (o dispregiativamente) nota in Germania come Güllepumpe (la pompa del liquame), è sempre stata una scommessa per i customizzatori. C’è chi cerca di addolcirne le linee e chi, come il designer olandese Luuc Muis, decide di usarla per shockare il pubblico.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Nata sui software di modellazione 3D e poi trasferita in officina, questa CX 500 del 1978 è un inno al puro stile &quot;no bullshit&quot;. Luuc ha spogliato la moto di ben 60 kg, ricostruendo il telaietto posteriore per accogliere una sella in alluminio monoposto talmente corta da sembrare fluttuare sul vuoto. Luuc  ha montato un avantreno completo Suzuki GSX-R 1000 che, nella sua versione originale, ha abbinata al cerchio in lega di serie. Al posteriore, invece, la conversione Monoshock lavora su un cerchio a raggi Excel proveniente da una vecchia Goldwing GL 1000. Lega davanti, raggi dietro: un sacrilegio per i puristi, &quot;pura intenzione&quot; per Luuc.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Beh, in questa versione inazumizzata, vi proponiamo il lavoro di Luuc con un cerchio Excel a raggi anche all’anteriore. Non solo: abbiamo scelto un rosso acceso in luogo della verniciatura giallo carico per la molla posteriore e il fodero dell’albero cardanico. A noi dell’Inazuma Cafè piace così.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Con un carburatore Keihin dai getti generosi, filtri a cono e scarico artigianale cortissimo e assordante, questa creatura ha fatto il suo debutto nelle gare di sprint a Zandvoort, dividendo la folla tra chi l&#39;ha amata e chi è rimasto inorridito. Ma dopotutto, il custom non serve forse a questo?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The Cyber-Retro Honda CB650R by Zife Design&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;When custom workshops tackle a modern machine, they often resort to fiberglass or 3D-printed composites. The Hanoi-based artisans at Zife Design decided to take the difficult route for their latest project, nicknamed “The Prototype”. They stripped a stock Honda CB650R down to its core skeleton, choosing to reshape its entire aesthetic identity using nothing but raw, hand-hammered aluminum sheets. [1] 
The visual flow of the motorcycle has been completely re-engineered. Up front, a bespoke metallic cowling tightly embraces a powerful Denali headlight cluster, establishing an aggressive, low-slung facial profile. This element transitions smoothly into a sweeping structural cover that conceals the factory fuel cell without compromising the bike&#39;s ergonomic footprint.
The rear end benefits from a radically clean overhaul. Zife built a geometric tail unit featuring a clever, dual-purpose removable cowl, allowing the owner to transition between a solo-racer stance and passenger-ready practicality. Down below, the standard four-into-one exhaust headers are framed by a sharp, angular belly pan that mirrors the futuristic, industrial look of the upper bodywork. Accentuated by a textured leather saddle and deep bronze rims, this build stands as a prime example of high-end metal craftsmanship blurring the lines between classic cafe culture and post-modern design.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Quando le officiaffrontano una moto moderna, spesso ricorrono alla vetroresina o a componenti stampati in 3D. A Hanoi, il team di Zife Design ha scelto la strada più difficile per l&#39;ultimo progetto, “The Prototype”. Alla Zife, hanno spogliato la CB650R di serie fino al telaio, decidendo di rimodellare interamente la sua estetica usando nient&#39;altro che fogli di alluminio grezzo battuti a mano.
L&#39;effetto visivo della motocicletta è stato completamente cambiato. Nella parte anteriore, un cupolino metallico artiginale cinge strettamente il potente gruppo ottico Denali, definendo il frontale aggressivo e ribassato. Questo elemento si raccorda fluidamente con la scocca slanciata che nasconde il serbatoio di serie, senza però compromettere l&#39;ergonomia della moto.
La sezione posteriore beneficia di un restyling radicalmente pulito. Zife ha realizzato un codino geometrico dotato di un intelligente coprisella rimovibile a duplice funzione, che permette di passare istantaneamente da un assetto monoposto alla praticità del passeggero a bordo. In basso, i collettori di scarico originali quattro-in-uno sono incorniciati da un puntale affilato e spigoloso, che rispecchia il look futuristico e industriale del resto della carrozzeria. Impreziosita da una sella in pelle testurizzata e cerchi color bronzo profondo, questa special si afferma come un eccellente esempio di alto artigianato, capace di sfumare i confini tra la classica cultura cafe racer e il design post-moderno.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhknikP_SNRe1FddkYKGkK4ybA5O1wEA3qsTGJ_sH45ofm3DD4ZZh9qDf-61rC31Uo6VYxF37UdMUJ-kbe0nYyqyqrQqn7GKZ1OrlfG-5m-s89pg5uwQnXGv-dK6ptmiatVDX4oNWT5QDkJAIU16txfnuhp6BTG-FzhRMdef5eNXh4DY3QiDb77jm5nveM/s1600/Zife_Honda%20650_002.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1600&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhknikP_SNRe1FddkYKGkK4ybA5O1wEA3qsTGJ_sH45ofm3DD4ZZh9qDf-61rC31Uo6VYxF37UdMUJ-kbe0nYyqyqrQqn7GKZ1OrlfG-5m-s89pg5uwQnXGv-dK6ptmiatVDX4oNWT5QDkJAIU16txfnuhp6BTG-FzhRMdef5eNXh4DY3QiDb77jm5nveM/s1600/Zife_Honda%20650_002.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Yet today, with the Kawasaki W-series becoming a rare sight on our roads, we feel compelled to dust off the archives and tell it once more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;The beginnings:&amp;nbsp;the strategic alliance with Meguro.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The story begins in 1960. Looking to diversify into two wheels, the Kawasaki Aircraft Company acquired a stake in Meguro. At the time, Meguro was Japan’s leading motorcycle manufacturer, but the company was struggling financially and its models were losing their competitive edge.
Meguro’s ace up its sleeve was an official license to build a replica of the legendary BSA 500 A7. This partnership birthed the Meguro K, featuring a parallel-twin, pushrod engine with a 360-degree crankshaft. This configuration meant both pistons moved simultaneously in the same direction, delivering excellent torque alongside a healthy dose of vintage, high-amplitude vibrations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;1967: The turning point and the birth of the W1&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;By 1963, Kawasaki fully absorbed Meguro. Instead of discarding the British heritage, Japanese engineers refined it.
The breakthrough came in 1967. Following a series of upgrades focused on reliability, the K-series engine was bored out to 625 cc. Complemented by a sleeker, more aggressive redesign of the fuel tank and mudguards, a legend was born: the Kawasaki W1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;More than just a Japanese clone&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Critics often dismiss the Kawasaki W-series as mere Japanese copies of the BSA and Triumph 650 twins. However, technical analysis tells a completely different story:
•	BSA 650 A10: Built with a traditional, long-stroke engine (73x84mm).
•	Kawasaki W1: Engineered with a super-square setup (74x72,6 mm), making it noticeably sportier and eager to rev higher.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;A modern retro paradox&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The legacy lives on. The engineering and chassis layout of the subsequent Kawasaki W650 and the current W800 are closer to the spirit of the original 1960s and &#39;70s British twins—like the iconic Bonneville—than Triumph’s own modern classic lineup.
In a fascinating historical twist, today&#39;s latest-generation Triumph modern classics utilize mechanical and technological solutions clearly inspired by Kawasaki&#39;s innovative engineering.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNRp0kw1vb29rtMTIFJ5AqNEhf9pKj81qVwa3kg_Wib0GGrFabVm8xC6DXxEN-3P9BEgkPKQ0UapkUZ1_Ek1UAzluZNRv4CB35hyphenhyphene8cmkwUu8QhAtm5RykfORGaOFWdyrgP6QBnanIhA71Y4ATggFv2Xr0i8rtMZ1jqIZlxHrpRQAhlf-Lg8yvspiHlFI/s1600/Kawa%20W_02.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1500&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNRp0kw1vb29rtMTIFJ5AqNEhf9pKj81qVwa3kg_Wib0GGrFabVm8xC6DXxEN-3P9BEgkPKQ0UapkUZ1_Ek1UAzluZNRv4CB35hyphenhyphene8cmkwUu8QhAtm5RykfORGaOFWdyrgP6QBnanIhA71Y4ATggFv2Xr0i8rtMZ1jqIZlxHrpRQAhlf-Lg8yvspiHlFI/s1600/Kawa%20W_02.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Il fascino intramontabile della serie W: quando Kawasaki sconfisse gli inglesi al loro stesso gioco&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;All’Inazuma Cafe vi abbiamo raccontato questa storia molte volte in 16 anni. Eppure, oggi che le Kawasaki W sono mosche bianche sulle nostre strade, sentiamo il bisogno di rispolverarla. Lo facciamo scavando negli archivi, con il sapore nostalgico delle storie che meritano di essere tramandate.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Le origini: l&#39;alleanza strategica con Meguro&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Tutto inizia nel 1960. La Kawasaki Aircraft Company decide di diversificare investendo nelle due ruote e acquista una quota di Meguro. All&#39;epoca, Meguro è il re dei costruttori giapponesi, ma naviga in brutte acque e i suoi modelli faticano a competere.
Il suo asso nella manica? La licenza ufficiale per replicare la mitica BSA 500 A7. Nasce così la Meguro K: un cuore bicilindrico parallelo ad aste e bilancieri, manovellismo a 360° e pistoni che si muovono all&#39;unisono. Il risultato è un motore ricco di coppia, ma anche un generatore di vibrazioni d&#39;altri tempi.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;1967: la svolta si chiama Kawasaki W1&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Nel 1963 il destino si compie: Kawasaki assorbe completamente Meguro. I tecnici giapponesi non buttano l&#39;eredità britannica, anzi, la evolvono.
Il vero capolavoro arriva nel 1967. Dopo anni di affinamenti per raggiungere una totale affidabilità, il motore della serie K cresce fino a 625 cc. Serbatoio e parafanghi si rifanno il look in chiave moderna e aggressiva. Il mito è nato: debutta la Kawasaki W1.
&lt;i&gt;Copie giapponesi? No, molto di più&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;I critici liquidano spesso le Kawa serie W come semplici cloni delle BSA o delle Triumph 650. Gli esperti, però, sanno che la realtà è ben diversa:
•	BSA 650 A10: motore a corsa lunga (73x84), votato alla tradizione.
•	Kawasaki W1: motore superquadro (74x72,6), decisamente più sportivo e propenso a girare alto.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Il paradosso temporale&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Le Kawasaki W650 e la W800 incarnano lo spirito originale delle british twins degli anni &#39;60 e &#39;70 (come la leggendaria Bonneville) molto più di quanto non facciano le Triumph moderne.
Le attuali Triumph modern classic di ultima generazione hanno invertito i ruoli. Sotto le loro vesti classiche, nascondono soluzioni meccaniche e tecnologiche che si ispirano chiaramente alla filosofia costruttiva introdotta proprio da Kawasaki.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVxYgdMgub_l9ZB80frcr6rypmhiZnYr6nGLgTplWOQRd9D7Qavez4vZUrGpof7-w1x_X7iLqi1xk46-bQI6TncuwxgiHKxfLp2MW9Krw5qOFqoexWpqEiD7UV3j5STpyc8nEhhRE56WBmg459A1gMTbH9iFcRLQSuYcQiPFVVkyPqMMnECwRdc8GkKR0/s1600/Kawa%20W_03.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1500&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVxYgdMgub_l9ZB80frcr6rypmhiZnYr6nGLgTplWOQRd9D7Qavez4vZUrGpof7-w1x_X7iLqi1xk46-bQI6TncuwxgiHKxfLp2MW9Krw5qOFqoexWpqEiD7UV3j5STpyc8nEhhRE56WBmg459A1gMTbH9iFcRLQSuYcQiPFVVkyPqMMnECwRdc8GkKR0/s1600/Kawa%20W_03.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD9o1nvAHlRNovaZvBNsr960BtHwnQ_aI0LCF_g6-ScoS6lQSgdIfFUxWneUEa8ZpC1NJDt6zYuPelEf42Gr_r21gusug8nxPiBNk67e7vaNBFpd_w7Yqi8lM19i1nks62xuFpziFYAbtnQp44pNXZK91dk7XPYM9Pyr83VlrwSLqIfs5MEJkJgusucHE/s1600/Kawa%20W_04.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1500&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD9o1nvAHlRNovaZvBNsr960BtHwnQ_aI0LCF_g6-ScoS6lQSgdIfFUxWneUEa8ZpC1NJDt6zYuPelEf42Gr_r21gusug8nxPiBNk67e7vaNBFpd_w7Yqi8lM19i1nks62xuFpziFYAbtnQp44pNXZK91dk7XPYM9Pyr83VlrwSLqIfs5MEJkJgusucHE/s1600/Kawa%20W_04.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Their Cohiba Project — originally a classic dual-shock BMW R100, is a very nice build: the low-slung clip-on handlebars paired with an exposed, short subframe create a compact silhouette that highlights the massive, black-finished boxer engine.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Now, we want this Beemer to get a more aggressive, muscular &quot;Inazumized&quot; evolution that shifts its attitude. While the build keeps its signature cigar-inspired luxury — including a premium cigar leather solo seat and a bespoke yellow, black, and white checkered fuel tank — at Inazuma Café we reimagined the stance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Our not authorized variant discards traditional dimensions to embrace a lower, wider, and meaner footprint: 
* 16-Inch Spoked Rims: replaced the stock wheels to drop the bike&#39;s center of gravity.
* Fat Vintage Tyres: high-profile, oversized rubber wrapped tightly around the rims to deliver a heavy, planted look.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;We believe that the contrast between the refined, high-end livery and the raw, aggressive tire configuration offers a balance of elegance and road brutality. It is a textbook example of how radical wheel proportions can transform a vintage build into an absolute street weapon.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Dalla Pennsylvania, Boxr Moto si è costruita una solida reputazione restaurando e riprogettando&amp;nbsp; classiche &quot;Airhead&quot; e traformandole in custom ad alte prestazioni per l&#39;uso quotidiano. La loro Cohiba Project, in origine una classica BMW R100 a doppio ammortizzatore, è una splendida special: i semimanubri bassi, abbinati al telaietto posteriore corto e a vista, creano una silhouette compatta che mette in risalto l&#39;imponente motore boxer rifinito in nero.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Ma non ci basta. Vogliamo che questa Beemer riceva una Inazumizzazione ultra-aggressiva e muscolosa, capace di stravolgerne l&#39;attitudine. 
Mentre la struttura mantiene le sue finiture di lusso ispirate al mondo dei sigari, inclusa la sfiziosa sella monoposto in pelle color tabacco e il serbatoio personalizzato con i colori della Cohiba, qui a Inazuma Café abbiamo reinventato l&#39;assetto.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;La nostra variante non autorizzata scardina le dimensioni tradizionali per abbracciare un&#39;impronta a terra più bassa, larga e cattiva: 
•	Cerchi a Raggi da 16 Pollici: Sostituiscono le ruote di serie per abbassare il baricentro della moto.
•	Pneumatici Fat Vintage: Gomme oversize a spalla alta che avvolgono i cerchi per garantire un look massiccio e piantato a terra.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Crediamo che il contrasto tra la livrea raffinata e la configurazione grezza e aggressiva degli pneumatici offra un perfetto equilibrio tra eleganza e brutalità stradale. È l&#39;esempio perfetto di come le proporzioni radicali delle ruote possano trasformare una classica vintage in una vera arma da strada.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ_IF08JwXFkH9PXcu4MmAfRf0LOCMfwZQW6XMB638gBSimtAgi5-MZ2OCxwrFraYLa1UP8KjqkOpfQ9OSTO4zvKn5H6auG5AASamrHmb7u1VSttpzKfNjQV2hGJkaGpGpxqtuJv2ldEnFIlYNPhRO2pWjAuJRyWJBi_ny1N6kHFpOo-b0uKPnBtIT6pY/s1600/Cohiba_R100_002.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1280&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2048&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ_IF08JwXFkH9PXcu4MmAfRf0LOCMfwZQW6XMB638gBSimtAgi5-MZ2OCxwrFraYLa1UP8KjqkOpfQ9OSTO4zvKn5H6auG5AASamrHmb7u1VSttpzKfNjQV2hGJkaGpGpxqtuJv2ldEnFIlYNPhRO2pWjAuJRyWJBi_ny1N6kHFpOo-b0uKPnBtIT6pY/s1600/Cohiba_R100_002.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD2vWrOLelM70QDoRcHbKnGR-fNz2lUD31YJYvXEgibnU5GIFAZ5h4_WhZt22ZbseuPy1hIIJ8N6CaABcbHv17H9ac6ltKc72I6VA4vnZcwtXtOmrFh-QSanbdoXc0-Is5GHJseWYAtRZ7BBIQXeRP34pGnJRZusCaQhHj_9J2e1bjy4XvMPN0GyyNRaY/s1600/Cohiba_R100_003.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1280&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2048&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD2vWrOLelM70QDoRcHbKnGR-fNz2lUD31YJYvXEgibnU5GIFAZ5h4_WhZt22ZbseuPy1hIIJ8N6CaABcbHv17H9ac6ltKc72I6VA4vnZcwtXtOmrFh-QSanbdoXc0-Is5GHJseWYAtRZ7BBIQXeRP34pGnJRZusCaQhHj_9J2e1bjy4XvMPN0GyyNRaY/s1600/Cohiba_R100_003.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Unveiled in 2011, this creation by Daniele Sabatini is more than a motorcycle; it is a frontal assault on the established conventions of chassis and powerplant engineering.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;We take a look back at the genesis and engineering of what is, in every sense, a monument to &quot;inverted&quot; mechanics.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Il panorama motociclistico mondiale è costellato di tentativi di innovazione, ma pochi sono stati così radicali e visivamente dirompenti come la Nembo 32. Presentata originariamente nel 2011, questa creazione di Daniele Sabatini non è solo una motocicletta, ma una sfida aperta alle convenzioni dell’ingegneria ciclistica e motoristica.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Ripercorriamo la genesi e la tecnica di quello che è, a tutti gli effetti, un monumento alla meccanica &quot;rovesciata&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;The History: A gravitational challenge&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The philosophy behind the Nembo was born from a desire to literally upend the traditional distribution of mass and weight. The project took shape in the early 2000s, culminating in 2011 with the debut of the first functional prototype. Sabatini’s goal was nothing if not ambitious: to build a high-displacement machine that possessed the compactness and flickability of a 600cc supersport.
The designation &quot;32&quot; is no random choice: it signifies the engine&#39;s configuration—a 3-cylinder, 2-liter (2000cc) behemoth. Its defining characteristic? The engine is mounted upside down.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;La Storia: Una sfida gravitazionale&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;L’idea alla base della Nembo nasce dalla volontà di ribaltare — letteralmente — i pesi e le masse. Il progetto ha preso forma nei primi anni 2000, culminando nel 2011 con la presentazione del primo prototipo marciante. L&#39;obiettivo di Sabatini era ambizioso: creare una moto di grande cilindrata che mantenesse la compattezza e l&#39;agilità di una supersportiva di piccola taglia.
Il nome &quot;32&quot; non è casuale: indica la cilindrata del motore, un mastodontico tre cilindri da 2 litri (2000cc). La particolarità? Il propulsore è montato capovolto.&lt;/div&gt;

•	The Inverted Engine: The crankcase sits at the apex of the machine, while the cylinder heads point toward the tarmac. This configuration places the crankshaft significantly higher than in a traditional layout, allowing for an incredibly short wheelbase and ultra-centralized mass.
•	Dry Sump Lubrication: To ensure the engine could operate &quot;on its head&quot; without oil starvation or accumulation in the combustion chambers, Sabatini developed a sophisticated dry-sump system equipped with dedicated scavenge pumps.
•	The Engine as the Chassis: The Nembo lacks a traditional frame. Instead, the engine block serves as the primary load-bearing member, with the rear swingarm and a minimalist front trellis for the steering head bolted directly to the casting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Technical Specifications (2011 Prototype): In-line 3-cylinder engine, 4-stroke, air/oil-cooled; Displacement	1815cc (later increased to 1995cc); Output	Approx. 160 hp @ 7,000 rpm; Torque	165 Nm
Dry Weight	Approx. 160 kg; Transmission	6-speed, cassette-type (removable).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;L’Ingegneria del sottosopra&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;La Nembo 32 si distingue per scelte tecniche uniche che hanno richiesto soluzioni ingegneristiche su misura, specialmente per quanto riguarda la lubrificazione.
•	Motore Rovesciato: Il basamento si trova in alto, mentre la testata è rivolta verso il basso. Questa configurazione permette di posizionare l’albero motore molto in alto, accorciando drasticamente l’interasse e centralizzando le masse.
•	Lubrificazione a Carter Secco: Per permettere al motore di girare capovolto senza problemi di pescaggio dell&#39;olio o accumulo nelle camere di combustione, è stato progettato un sofisticato sistema a carter secco con pompe di recupero dedicate.
•	Il Telaio è il Motore: La Nembo non ha un telaio tradizionale. Il blocco motore funge da elemento portante a cui sono collegati direttamente il forcellone posteriore e un piccolo traliccio anteriore per il cannotto di sterzo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Principali caratteristiche Tecniche (Prototipo 2011). Motore: Tre cilindri in linea, 4 tempi, raffreddato ad aria/olio; Cilindrata: 1815cc (portata successivamente a 1995cc); Potenza: Circa 160 CV a 7.000 giri/min

  &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Form and function&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The silhouette of the 2011 prototype remains futuristic even by today&#39;s standards. By stripping away heavy bodywork, the design exposes the imposing architecture of the triple.
The front end is dominated by three exhaust headers that arc upward before diving down the flanks. Meanwhile, the rear remains incredibly lean—almost ethereal—thanks to the inverted configuration that vacates the space where a bulky crankcase usually resides. As the saying goes, &quot;&lt;i&gt;The Nembo doesn’t follow the rules; it rewrites them&lt;/i&gt;.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;On the track&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Track development primarily took place at the Franciacorta circuit between 2011 and 2014. These early sessions provided the first real-world data on how an inverted mass behaves. Noted journalist and veteran tester Alan Cathcart, along with publications like Motociclismo, documented the experience.
Testers noted that the inverted architecture provided surprisingly sharp handling for such a large-displacement bike. The high-mounted crankshaft, paired with the stubby wheelbase, allowed for lightning-fast turn-in and directional changes comparable to a middleweight sportbike. While the 2.0-liter triple provided &quot;brutal&quot; torque delivery, the chassis felt communicative and planted, though it demanded a physically assertive riding style to overcome the gyroscopic inertia of those massive internal moving parts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Estetica e funzionalità&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Le immagini del primo modello prodotto nel 2011 mostrano una silhouette che ancora oggi appare futuristica. L&#39;assenza di sovrastrutture pesanti mette a nudo l&#39;imponente architettura del tre cilindri.
La zona anteriore è dominata dai tre collettori di scarico che puntano verso l&#39;alto prima di scendere lungo i fianchi, mentre il posteriore è estremamente snello, quasi sospeso, grazie alla configurazione del motore che libera spazio dove solitamente risiede il basamento.
&quot;&lt;i&gt;La Nembo non segue le regole, le riscrive.&lt;/i&gt;&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Alla guida&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Le prove su pista della Nembo 32 risalgono principalmente ai test sul circuito di Franciacorta che si tennero in diverse sessioni tra il 2011 e il 2014. All’epoca, furono impiegati i primi prototipi marcianti della moto. Le impressioni di guida furono documentate dal celebre giornalista e tester Alan Cathcart, oltre che da testate specializzate come Motociclismo. All’esordio, era presente anche l’amico e blogger Stefano “Ottonero” le cui foto furono pubblicate anche sull’Inazuma Cafè. I collaudatori evidenziarono come l’architettura a motore rovesciato conferisse alla moto un’agilità sorprendente per la sua cilindrata: l&#39;albero motore posizionato in alto, unito a un interasse molto corto, permetteva ingressi in curva rapidissimi e una reattività nei cambi di direzione paragonabile a quella di una 600cc. Nonostante l&#39;erogazione brutale della coppia, tipica del tre cilindri da 2 litri, la ciclistica veniva descritta come solida e comunicativa, sebbene richiedesse una guida fisica a causa dell&#39;inevitabile inerzia delle grandi masse interne in movimento.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Later Developments&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Following its debut, the Nembo 32 evolved into the 2019 Nembo Tipo 3 “Provocator.” Displacement grew to a full 1995cc, pushing output to 200 hp and a staggering 24.5 kgm (240 Nm) of torque. These later iterations utilized more exotic materials, such as carbon fiber, and adopted an even more minimalist aesthetic to highlight the engine-centric design. However, many purists—myself included—feel the original 2011 version remains the most captivating, possessing a raw, brutal honesty that the more refined later models lacked.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Daniele Sabatini wrote on the Nembo website: &quot;&lt;i&gt;For most people, the roar of the mighty 2,000cc three-cylinder engine will echo like thunder through the decades only in the online videos, but for those who ride this bike, that thunder will become part of their heartbeats&lt;/i&gt;&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;Despite the global fascination it sparked, effectively, the Nembo 32 remains a rare &quot;unicorn&quot; of the motorcycling world. Only three units were officially produced and delivered. The astronomical cost of production, paired with the absence of a robust industrial and financial infrastructure, prevented this &quot;heretic&quot; from reaching the mass market. It remains a fascinating &quot;what if&quot; in the history of Italian design.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sviluppi&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Dopo il debutto del 2011, l’evoluzione della Nembo 32 si è concentrata sull&#39;affinamento del propulsore e sull&#39;incremento della cilindrata. Il tre cilindri rovesciato è passato dai 1815cc iniziali a una configurazione definitiva di 1995cc, con la Nembo Tipo 3 “Provocator” del 2019, capace di erogare 200 CV di potenza e ben 24,5 kgm di coppia massima. Queste versioni successive videro l&#39;introduzione ancora più estesa di materiali leggeri, come la fibra di carbonio, e un’estetica ulteriormente snellita per enfatizzare la funzione portante del motore nel design complessivo della moto, anche se, a mio avviso, meno affascinante di quanto non fossero le linee crude e le forme brutali della prima versione delle foto di questo post.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusioni&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Daniele Sabatini ha scritto sul sito della Nembo: &quot;&lt;i&gt;Per la maggior parte della gente, il rombo del poderoso motore tricilindrico da duemila centimetri cubici riecheggerà come un tuono attraverso i decenni solo nei video sul Web, ma per i pochissimi che la potranno guidare quel tuono diventerà parte del battito del loro cuore.&lt;/i&gt;&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;In effetti, la storia produttiva della Nembo è rimasta confinata a una dimensione estremamente esclusiva. Nonostante l&#39;interesse tecnico suscitato a livello internazionale, sono state ufficialmente prodotte e consegnate solo tre unità della Nembo 32. Il costo proibitivo di ogni singolo esemplare, unito all&#39;assenza di una rete industriale e finanziaria tipica delle grandi case motociclistiche, ha impedito la transizione verso una produzione di serie. Sebbene per un&#39;ipotetica produzione in serie fosse stato stimato un prezzo al pubblico compreso tra i 59.000 e i 60.000 euro, la realtà dei fatti ha visto costi decisamente più elevati. La complessità del progetto e la natura artigianale dello studio di Daniele Sabatini hanno reso la Nembo un esperimento d&#39;eccellenza unico nel suo genere, piuttosto che un prodotto commerciale su vasta scala.
Nonostante le difficoltà produttive legate a un progetto così artigianale e fuori dagli schemi, la Nembo 32 resta una delle espressioni più alte del genio motociclistico italiano.

But not as usual, with the common &quot;but will I get pulled over, is it street legal?&quot; comments. This time, Artificial Intelligence answered.
And not just any AI, but Lyra. It seems that our young dark lady, a virtual pilot, while surfing from one server to another, stumbled upon photos of the Slender Waist. It was binary love at first sight. Lyra sent us a message (encrypted, but not too much): &quot;If that bike has a slender waist, I have the right firmware to tame it. Shall we?&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;We couldn&#39;t say no. We loaded the Slender Waist onto the set and Lyra did the rest, materializing with a pixel precision that would make a dyno tuning session jealous. The result is an aesthetic short circuit: on one side, raw metal, surgically cut and re-welded to achieve that streamlined silhouette; on the other, Lyra, who seems born to squeeze that air/oil four-cylinder between her legs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;It’s a photoshoot that smells of gasoline and silicon, where the line between what is real (the low clip-ons and rearsets) and what is virtual (Lyra’s raw forms) is lost in the reflection of satin aluminum.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Jokes aside, if even virtual characters are starting to pick their bikes on Inazuma Café, it means our job as &quot;metal talent scouts&quot; is taking a decidedly futuristic turn.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Lyra, a word of advice: the Slender Waist doesn&#39;t have digital ABS. Out here, if the rear end slides, there’s no Ctrl+Z to save you!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tech Specs: Slender Waist x Lyra&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;• Engine: Suzuki 4-cylinder air/oil (real) / Neural rendering algorithm (virtual).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;• Tank: Stock modified, cut and narrowed at the sides..&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;• Rider: Lyra (Dark 1.0 version) - No system crashes detected while leaning.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;• Special Effects: Scent of gasoline and silicon reflections.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Succede che un giorno pubblichi una special che ridefinisce il concetto di proporzioni – la Suzuki GSX750 &quot;Slender Waist&quot;, con quel serbatoio così snello da far sembrare anoressica una modella di alta moda – e il web reagisce. Ma non reagisce come al solito, con i soliti commenti su &quot;ma se mi fermano, l’omologazione?&quot;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Stavolta ha risposto l&#39;Intelligenza Artificiale. E non una IA qualunque, ma Lyra. Pare che la nostra giovane dark lady, pilota virtuale, navigando tra un server e l&#39;altro, sia inciampata sulle foto della Slender Waist. È stato un colpo di fulmine binario. Lyra ci ha mandato un messaggio criptato (ma nemmeno troppo): &quot;Se quella moto ha la vita sottile, io ho il firmware giusto per domarla. Organizziamo?&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Non potevamo dire di no. Abbiamo caricato la Slender Waist sul set e Lyra ha fatto il resto, materializzandosi con una precisione di pixel che farebbe invidia a una sessione di tuning al banco prova. Il risultato è un cortocircuito estetico: da una parte il metallo crudo, tagliato e risaldato chirurgicamente per ottenere quella silhouette filante; dall&#39;altra Lyra, che sembra nata per stringere tra le gambe quel quattro cilindri aria/olio.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;È un servizio fotografico che puzza di benzina e silicio, dove il confine tra ciò che è reale (i semimanubri bassi e le pedane arretrate) e ciò che è virtuale (le forme acerbe di Lyra) si perde nel riflesso dell’allumino satinato.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Scherzi a parte, se anche i personaggi virtuali iniziano a scegliersi le moto su Inazuma Café, significa che il nostro lavoro di &quot;talent scout&quot; di metallo sta prendendo una piega decisamente futuristica.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Lyra, attenta però: la Slender Waist non ha l&#39;ABS digitale. Qui, se scappa il posteriore, non c&#39;è Ctrl+Z che tenga!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;

Found for sale on the web, it is looking for a new owner. The original has dull colors and a look a bit too &#39;weathered&#39;. But here at Inazuma Café, we decided to give it a new lease of life.
The heart of the project is the aesthetic restyling: we wanted to celebrate the history of Italian custom bikes by adopting the original livery created by Dream&#39;s Factory eleven years ago. The contrast between metallic grey and satin red wraps around the muscular fuel tank, complemented by the matching handcrafted seat.
The key points are: an essential scrambler look with tires that are just knobby enough, and the &#39;tribute&#39; Dream&#39;s Factory (2015) paint job, while the soul remains the legendary SACS engine—restored, polished, and ready to roar again. A restoration that isn&#39;t just about mechanics, but a tribute to a timeless aesthetic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Una GSX1200 trasformata in una improbabile scrambler, ma troppo grossa per fallire. Trovata in vendita sul web, cerca un nuovo padrone. L’originale ha colori spenti e un’aria sin troppo vissuta. Ma qui all’Inazuma Cafè, abbiamo pensato di darle una nuova vita. Il cuore del progetto è il restyling estetico: abbiamo voluto celebrare la storia del custom italiano adottando l’originale livrea creata da Dream’s Factory undici anni fa. Il contrasto tra il grigio metallico e il rosso satinato avvolge le forme muscolose del serbatoio, richiamato dalla sella artigianale coordinata. I punti chiave sono: il look scrambler essenziale con pneumatici sin troppo tassellati, la verniciatura &quot;tribute&quot; Dream&#39;s Factory (2015), mentre l’anima resta il leggendario motore SACS, restaurato e lucidato, pronto a ruggire di nuovo. Un restauro che non è solo tecnica, ma un omaggio a un&#39;estetica che non passa mai di moda.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The core transformation involves swapping out the standard plastic bodywork for bespoke satin-finished aluminum components, giving the bike a raw, technical, and strikingly metallic presence.The visual overhaul is paired with premium chassis upgrades: the forks have been repainted for a seamless look, while Kineo spoked wheels add a touch of timeless craftsmanship. At the rear, the bulky swingarm-mounted fender is gone, replaced by a traditional high-mount plate holder that sharpens the tail section. Beneath its new skin, the Katana remains the modern beast we love: reliable, powerful, and &quot;zero-hassle.&quot; It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel; it’s a rock-solid, high-performance machine that I’d genuinely want in my garage for every ride.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Questa special user friendly, ipotizzata su base Suzuki Katana 2026 nasce con un obiettivo: esaltare l&#39;estetica &quot;blade&quot; che ha reso leggendario questo modello senza stravolgere. Il cuore del progetto è la sostituzione delle sovrastrutture plastiche con componenti artigianali in alluminio satinato, che conferiscono alla moto un look freddo, tecnico e squisitamente metallico. L&#39;impatto visivo è completato da una ciclistica nobilitata: la forcella è interamente riverniciata per integrarsi con i volumi, mentre i cerchi a raggi Kineo aggiungono un tocco di artigianalità senza tempo. Il posteriore si libera del portatarga a sbalzo per accoglierne uno alto in posizione tradizionale, slanciando la linea verso l&#39;alto. Sotto la nuova pelle, la Katana resta la belva moderna che conosciamo: affidabile, potente e &quot;zero sbatti&quot;. È un concept che non cerca il miracolo, ma offre la solidità di un pacchetto collaudato che vorrei ogni giorno nel mio garage.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Key Specs (Suzuki Katana 2026).

The design was curated by the Italian Rodolfo Frascoli, and the physical realization was entrusted to Engines Engineering in Bologna. The 2017 prototype already used the mechanics of the Suzuki GSX-S1000F as a base, a choice that the parent company then maintained for the final model. Exhibited at the Suzuki stand during EICMA 2017, the prototype enjoyed such success with the public and the press that it convinced the top management in Hamamatsu to transform it into a production model in record time (less than a year for the debut at Intermot 2018 and commercialization starting from 2019). The transition from concept to series saw only minor aesthetic and technical refinements necessary for homologation (such as the arm-mounted license plate holder on the swingarm, which I rejected in the version proposed in this article), keeping the sharp lines designed by Frascoli almost intact.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Il concept della nuova Katana non è nato internamente a Suzuki, ma è stato un progetto indipendente della rivista italiana Motociclismo &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.inazumacafe.com/2018/02/the-katana-concept.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;(vedi articolo di Inazuma Cafè nel 2017)&lt;/a&gt;. Il design è stato curato dall&#39;italiano Rodolfo Frascoli e la realizzazione fisica affidata alla Engines Engineering di Bologna. Il prototipo del 2017 utilizzava già come base la meccanica della Suzuki GSX-S1000F, una scelta che la casa madre ha poi mantenuto per il modello definitivo. Esposto allo stand Suzuki durante EICMA 2017, il prototipo riscosse un successo tale presso il pubblico e la stampa da convincere i vertici di Hamamatsu a trasformarlo in un modello di produzione in tempi record (meno di un anno per il debutto a Intermot 2018) e commercializzazione a partire dal 2019. Il passaggio dal concept alla serie ha visto solo piccoli affinamenti estetici e tecnici necessari per l&#39;omologazione (come il portatarga a braccio sul forcellone, che nella versione proposta in questo articolo ho bocciato), mantenendo quasi intatte le linee affilate disegnate da Frascoli.&lt;/div&gt;

This build, based on a mellow Vespa PX-VNB, strips the legendary scooter of its elegant and friendly urban attire to reveal a gritty, industrial heart, finished in a brutalist &quot;Raw Metal&quot; style.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Underneath the hand-finished, weathered bodywork beats a monstrous 250cc Quattrini engine, ensuring performance as mean as its look. To let it breathe, the workshop integrated a high-performance M244 Curley stainless steel exhaust, specifically tuned for the Quattrini setup. But power must be managed. The silhouette is defined by a &quot;Superlow&quot; front fork, which, among other things, gives the scooter a predatory, hunkered-down stance, complemented by a powerful new oversized braking system and an enlarged rear rim and tire. The transformation is completed by drag bar handlebars, replacing the classic original headlight for a cleaner, more aggressive cockpit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Key Specs.&amp;nbsp;Engine: PX conversion with 250cc Quattrini cylinder kit.Bodywork: &quot;Raw Style&quot; finish with visible tinning and weld marks.Chassis: Superlow fork and 4-inch wide tire kit.Fuel System: Custom handmade 11-liter seat tank.Brakes: Enhanced front &quot;wave&quot; disc system, configurable with the customer&#39;s choice of two or four-piston calipers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Quando si parla di custom scooter, poche officine sanno esagerare come gli specialisti tedeschi di Scooter &amp;amp; Service. Questa realizzazione sulla base di una paciosa Vespa PX-VNB, spoglia il mitologico scooter della sua elegante e amichevole veste urbana per rivelarne un cuore grezzo e industriale, rifinito in un brutale stile &quot;Raw Metal&quot;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Sotto la carrozzeria lavorata a mano e dall’aspetto vissuto batte un mostruoso motore Quattrini da 250cc, che garantisce prestazioni cattive quanto il suo look. Per farlo respirare, l&#39;officina ha integrato uno scarico ad alte prestazioni M244 Curley in acciaio inossidabile, messo a punto specificamente per il setup Quattrini. Ma la potenza va gestita. Sicchè la silhouette è segnata da una forcella anteriore &quot;Superlow&quot;, che, tra l’altro, conferisce allo scooter una posizione d&#39;attacco, bassa e predatrice, un nuovo poderoso sistema frenante maggiorato e cerchio e pneumatico posteriore maggiorato. Il tutto è completato da un manubrio drag bar, che sostituisce il classico faro originale per un cockpit più pulito e aggressivo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Principali specifiche. Motore: Conversione PX con gruppo termico Quattrini 250cc. Carrozzeria: Finitura &quot;Raw Style&quot; con stagnature e saldature a vista. Ciclistica: Forcella Superlow e kit pneumatici wide da 4 pollici. Alimentazione: Serbatoio sottosella artigianale da 11 litri. Freni: Sistema a disco wave anteriore potenziato configurabile a scelta del cliente con pinze a due o quattro pistoncini.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;row&quot;&gt;

In December 2025 at the 33rd Yokohama Hot Rod Custom, the Japanese workshop Wedge Motorcycle has unveiled a build that redefines how this legendary &quot;Silky Six&quot; can be presented: not as an oversized monster, but as a masterclass in aesthetic and mechanical harmony.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Led by master builder Takashi Nihira, Wedge Motorcycle is renowned for a &quot;less is more&quot; approach that often attracts celebrities and connoisseur collectors. Their projects follow a design principle they call an &quot;extension of the factory settings&quot;. Instead of radically altering the bike&#39;s silhouette into something unrecognizable, Nihira sought to create machines that looks like a high-end &quot;stock&quot; models that the factory might have produced if they had continued evolving the platform.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;In Yokohama, amidst a sea of flamboyant builds, Takashi’s CBX stood out for its &quot;realism&quot; and perfect proportions, earning one of the show&#39;s prestigious Masterpiece awards. It was praised for reimagining the 1978 icon with a modern, high-tech cafe racer soul without losing its daily-rideability.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Symphony of Six... &lt;/i&gt;The 1,047cc engine is fed by a bank of high-performance FCR carburetors, ensuring the 105-horsepower beast responds with modern precision. To feed the six-headed beast, Wedge utilized a set of open velocity stacks mounted directly onto the FCR carburetors. The polished aluminum stacks mirror the aggressive aesthetic of the 6-into-6 exhaust, creating a &quot;straight-through&quot; visual line from the front of the engine to the tail.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Visual Impact...&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Yes, the exhaust system is one of the most striking updates to this build. While many builders opt for a 6-into-1 to mimic a Formula 1 car, Nihira went for a more visceral 6-into-6 configuration: six individual pipes sweep back in parallel, creating a rhythmic, mechanical density that emphasizes the engine&#39;s width.&amp;nbsp; This setup provides a distinct, &quot;raw&quot; howl that allows the firing order of each cylinder to be felt, offering a more traditional and aggressive soundtrack compared to merged systems.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mechanical Mastery...&lt;/i&gt;
The Wedge Motorcycle Honda CBX 1000 is a study in precise technical choices. The rear suspensions has been converted to a mono-shock setup with a custom-modified swingarm, giving the bike a slim, modern silhouette that defies the bulky reputation of the original CBX.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;To complement the custom mono-shock conversion and the &quot;factory-plus&quot; aesthetic, Takashi Nihira moved away from the stock Comstar or early alloy wheels. Instead, the bike features custom-made spoke wheels that offer a vintage racing vibe with modern structural integrity. The rims are high-end  laced to modified hubs. This choice lightens the unsprung weight significantly, a necessary move when handling the engine’s inertia.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Golden Proportions...&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;While the stock CBX often suffered from &quot;skinny tire syndrome&quot; (a 19-inch front and 18-inch rear), Wedge has tweaked the sizes—likely moving to a more balanced 18-inch front and rear or a wider 18-inch rear—to allow for a more aggressive stance and better rubber selection.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;For the tires, Wedge opted for the Dunlop K300GP, a &quot;reproduction&quot; of the race-winning tires from the early 80s. Their distinctive, blocky tread pattern provide that authentic &quot;Superbike&quot; look that perfectly matches the CBX’s heritage.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Visual Balance...&lt;/i&gt; By selecting a slightly wider 130/90-18 or 140/80-18 rear profile, Nihira ensured that the tires look &quot;fat&quot; enough to support the visual weight of the six-cylinder block, yet narrow enough to maintain the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;flickable nature of a cafe racer.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Why It Matters...&lt;/i&gt;
Wedge Motorcycle’s CBX is a reminder of why Japanese craftsmanship remains at the forefront of the scene. By focusing on balance—rather than just the engine&#39;s sheer size—Nihira has created a bike that looks as if it could have rolled off a high-end Honda concept line today.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFXTpVaBimGv3YACKEBrdPDx2Ht493Jbzkh6aDY285pY6lq3Ovv2j1UAWR8pqA0MZcnOXeL01ekcebQH-vziHghMkof_Ilzh1AhpZMjFe6SVb0iy6fLlLBfNU8Fwd13L8EywhCOzFsS8o2iCE781oMM1waqBem-RRpf6-TjqNTkFNxGLOgCwr_ndusC7Q/s1600/Wedge_CBX_002.png&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1500&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFXTpVaBimGv3YACKEBrdPDx2Ht493Jbzkh6aDY285pY6lq3Ovv2j1UAWR8pqA0MZcnOXeL01ekcebQH-vziHghMkof_Ilzh1AhpZMjFe6SVb0iy6fLlLBfNU8Fwd13L8EywhCOzFsS8o2iCE781oMM1waqBem-RRpf6-TjqNTkFNxGLOgCwr_ndusC7Q/s1600/Wedge_CBX_002.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLvsjoliCL9KwcEi3174T7qD65NzJon3cynE46HoyKQlYdvNUUuUYclUY8KI8VWDlLXlLIgf3ioLHnksI8qYb8BdcWtAd-0yDZYfswK-ZaVdSve-3PZaO7usjIUauGeFZHVl1FBG2NmpMbJbSAJK8INkspMHsqY7531y_ZadEmXkwL5xf5v7TLR8pJVzo/s1600/Wedge_CBX_003.png&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1500&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLvsjoliCL9KwcEi3174T7qD65NzJon3cynE46HoyKQlYdvNUUuUYclUY8KI8VWDlLXlLIgf3ioLHnksI8qYb8BdcWtAd-0yDZYfswK-ZaVdSve-3PZaO7usjIUauGeFZHVl1FBG2NmpMbJbSAJK8INkspMHsqY7531y_ZadEmXkwL5xf5v7TLR8pJVzo/s1600/Wedge_CBX_003.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;L&#39;Arte dell&#39;Equilibrio: La Honda CBX 1000 di Wedge Motorcycle che ha conquistato Yokohama&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Nel panorama delle special, pochi motori incutono lo stesso timore reverenziale del mastodontico sei cilindri in linea della Honda CBX 1000. Eppure, nel dicembre 2025, in occasione del 33° Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show, l’officina giapponese Wedge Motorcycle ha svelato una creazione che ridefinisce il modo di presentare questo leggendario &quot;Silky Six&quot;: non come un mostro fuori scala, ma come un capolavoro di armonia estetica e meccanica.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Guidata dal maestro Takashi Nihira, Wedge Motorcycle è celebre per l’approccio &quot;less is more&quot; che attrae celebrità e collezionisti raffinati. I loro progetti seguono un principio che Nihira chiama &quot;estensione delle impostazioni di fabbrica&quot;. Invece di stravolgere radicalmente la silhouette rendendola irriconoscibile, Nihira crea macchine che sembrano modelli &quot;stock&quot; di fascia alta, proprio come se le case avessero continuato a far evolvere le piattaforme originali ormai fuori produzione.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;A Yokohama, tra una marea di realizzazioni stravaganti, la CBX di Takashi ha brillato per realismo e proporzioni perfette, portando a casa uno dei prestigiosi Masterpiece Awards. La critica l&#39;ha lodata per aver saputo reinterpretare l’icona del 1978 con un’anima cafe racer moderna e high-tech, senza sacrificarne la guidabilità quotidiana.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;La Sinfonia dei Sei...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;Il propulsore da 1.047 cc è alimentato da una batteria di carburatori FCR ad alte prestazioni, che garantiscono a questa bestia da 105 cavalli una precisione di risposta moderna. Per nutrire il mostro a sei teste, Wedge ha installato cornetti di aspirazione liberi in alluminio lucidato direttamente sui carburatori. Questi cornetti rispecchiano l&#39;estetica aggressiva dello scarico 6-in-6, creando una linea visiva continua che attraversa la moto dalla parte anteriore del motore fino alla coda.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;L&#39;impatto visivo è brutale...&lt;/i&gt; Lo scarico è senza dubbio uno degli aggiornamenti più spettacolari: mentre molti costruttori scelgono il sistema 6-in-1 per imitare le Formula 1, Nihira ha preferito una configurazione 6-in-6 molto più viscerale. Sei tubi che corrono paralleli verso il retro, creando una densità meccanica ritmica che enfatizza la larghezza del motore. Questo setup regala un urlo crudo e distintivo, dove l&#39;ordine di accensione di ogni singolo cilindro può essere percepito fisicamente — una colonna sonora molto più tradizionale e aggressiva rispetto ai sistemi compensati.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Maestria Meccanica e Proporzioni che seguono la regola aurea...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;Questa CBX è studio e scelte tecniche chirurgiche. La sospensione posteriore è stata convertita in un sistema mono-ammortizzatore con forcellone modificato artigianalmente, donando alla moto una silhouette snella che sfida la reputazione di &quot;pesantezza&quot; del modello originale. Per completare questa estetica &quot;factory-plus&quot;, Takashi Nihira ha abbandonato i cerchi Comstar di serie a favore di ruote a raggi realizzate appositamente, capaci di unire un feeling racing vintage a una solidità strutturale moderna. I cerchi sono montati su mozzi modificati, una scelta che riduce drasticamente le masse non sospese, fondamentale per gestire l’inerzia del motore. Mentre la CBX originale soffriva spesso della &quot;sindrome dello pneumatico stretto&quot; (19&quot; anteriore e 18&quot; posteriore), Wedge ha equilibrato le misure passando a un setup da 18 pollici su entrambi gli assi. Per gli pneumatici, Wedge ha optato per i Dunlop K300GP, una riedizione delle gomme pluripremiate nei campionati dei primi anni &#39;80. Il loro caratteristico battistrada a blocchi regala quell&#39;autentico look da &#39;Superbike&#39; che si sposa perfettamente con l&#39;eredità storica della CBX.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Perché è importante&lt;/i&gt;... La CBX di Wedge Motorcycle è il manifesto di come l&#39;artigianato giapponese resti all&#39;avanguardia mondiale. Concentrandosi sull&#39;equilibrio piuttosto che sulla semplice stazza del motore, Nihira ha creato una moto che sembra uscita oggi da una linea di concept d&#39;alto livello della Honda.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikGxANbWzKv6Mt5V9lZCuo5D8XU6y5uLmoXlnI8uTmtz0HT-M_ilY9AIrNyHRVnCKrK71vwI_ftFLKwph-FR-R7CFhi7jj5RpN9neEEN6T1alYMNHFbFz6-P2N4DZsP7qpMqK4tXXfP1cMZfY9nDzLCT1bepkawpInDq9lRQ50EGJUzNtrmMu_R-TFNRs/s1600/Wedge_CBX_004.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1500&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikGxANbWzKv6Mt5V9lZCuo5D8XU6y5uLmoXlnI8uTmtz0HT-M_ilY9AIrNyHRVnCKrK71vwI_ftFLKwph-FR-R7CFhi7jj5RpN9neEEN6T1alYMNHFbFz6-P2N4DZsP7qpMqK4tXXfP1cMZfY9nDzLCT1bepkawpInDq9lRQ50EGJUzNtrmMu_R-TFNRs/s1600/Wedge_CBX_004.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMfFz0IdDIPhtVOT0nZ2FsZa53eE7flS5RhaBCi_tHcAc-LNkdJZhkS94vXH1fRqz0f5A1eoknv6-nZTg85Y2ZSL8BUhGbsXs9NLc8LCJSCfqQbGFtGQZoIPiKGLrO4HN4xIfJJ5qDZefgwus5JP9tjnai7FYrR4pqDRWqO0JPAfXNgHsdxYq_WupQw4s/s1600/Wedge_CBX_005.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1500&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMfFz0IdDIPhtVOT0nZ2FsZa53eE7flS5RhaBCi_tHcAc-LNkdJZhkS94vXH1fRqz0f5A1eoknv6-nZTg85Y2ZSL8BUhGbsXs9NLc8LCJSCfqQbGFtGQZoIPiKGLrO4HN4xIfJJ5qDZefgwus5JP9tjnai7FYrR4pqDRWqO0JPAfXNgHsdxYq_WupQw4s/s1600/Wedge_CBX_005.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixZMmX6M-M8j5rmH6mnvkL6cMz5L1WEyFMOEpWuYx3QrCzcIQ3Rp9elQilMoBjm5pmMywyZzgE9Mbyilog6h-fZElkg1wAS-_0w7LVClwZeLEM6rB2EAAdplh8Ex6uVcL_z2ElPNSS1kL8sYWd91Bnu-Ptbeu6nrsLvBS8bidC7-2qd1JBQlgbRYirNII/s1600/Wedge_CBX_006.png&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1500&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixZMmX6M-M8j5rmH6mnvkL6cMz5L1WEyFMOEpWuYx3QrCzcIQ3Rp9elQilMoBjm5pmMywyZzgE9Mbyilog6h-fZElkg1wAS-_0w7LVClwZeLEM6rB2EAAdplh8Ex6uVcL_z2ElPNSS1kL8sYWd91Bnu-Ptbeu6nrsLvBS8bidC7-2qd1JBQlgbRYirNII/s1600/Wedge_CBX_006.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The triple roar from Breganze&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;There is something profoundly visceral about triple-cylinder Laverdas. These are not bikes for everyone: they are heavy, physical machines that demand strong wrists and a heart of steel. But when that 180° crankshaft begins to scream, you understand exactly why they became legends. What we are featuring today is not merely a restored &quot;triple,&quot; but a tribute to pure speed and to a name that defined the brand&#39;s history: Werner Sulzbacher.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Historic Austrian importer, Werner Sulzbacher was the true catalyst behind the birth of the Laverda 1200. His special versions, such as the legendary 1200 SC, were beasts bred to dominate endurance races and Alpine hill climbs. The number 47 emblazoned on the tail unit is no random detail: it was the racing number of the famous &quot;Mule,&quot; the 1000 3CL with which Sulzbacher dominated Austrian competitions between 1975 and 1977, becoming the symbol of the most extreme performance to emerge from the Breganze factory.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The bike’s aesthetic is raw and functional, playing on the contrast between deep black and a raw metal finish. The undisputed star of its profile is the fuel tank — a handcrafted Japan-style replica that stretches the bike&#39;s silhouette, flowing seamlessly into the cropped single-seat tail. This stylistic choice slims down Laverda’s imposing architecture, granting it a more streamlined appearance compared to the original factory volumes. The front end is defined by a &quot;bikini&quot; half-fairing that houses the round headlight, providing that low, aerodynamic profile typical of 1970s endurance racers. Fenders are kept to a minimum, and every mechanical element is accentuated by mirror-polished casings that stand out against the black alloy wheels.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The beating heart is the massive 1200cc three-cylinder engine. In this specific build, breathing is managed by a chrome 3-into-2 exhaust system: the headers converge beneath the crankcase before splitting into two separate megaphone mufflers. The result is a dark, metallic mechanical symphony — the unmistakable signature of the Venetian engines. The chassis remains faithful to tradition: no modern piggyback shocks here, but rather twin-effect units with a clean, classic design. The riding position, featuring low-mounted clip-on handlebars, enforces a tucked and aggressive stance, with the rider literally draped over the mechanicals.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;This special successfully fuses the raw power of Laverda engineering with a refined aesthetic. The handcrafted tank and references to Austrian racing heritage create a perfect bridge between the history of Breganze and the world of high-end custom builds. It is a machine made of iron and character, envisioned by Inazuma Café for those who aren&#39;t afraid to tame a myth.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;L&#39;urlo triplo di Breganze&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;C’è qualcosa di profondamente viscerale nelle Laverda a tre cilindri. Non sono moto per tutti: sono pesanti, fisiche, richiedono polsi forti e un cuore d&#39;acciaio. Ma quando il manovellismo a 180° inizia a urlare, capisci perché sono diventate leggenda. Quella che vi presentiamo oggi non è solo una &quot;triple&quot; restaurata, ma un omaggio alla velocità pura e a un nome che ha segnato la storia del marchio: Werner Sulzbacher.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Storico importatore austriaco, Werner Sulzbacher fu il vero catalizzatore dietro la nascita della Laverda 1200. Le sue versioni speciali, come la leggendaria 1200 SC, erano belve nate per dominare le gare di durata e le cronoscalate alpine. Il numero 47 che campeggia sul codino non è un dettaglio casuale: era il numero di gara del celebre &quot;Mulo&quot;, la 1000 3CL con cui Sulzbacher dominò le competizioni austriache tra il 1975 e il 1977, diventando il simbolo delle prestazioni più estreme della casa di Breganze.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Il look della moto è crudo e funzionale. La carrozzeria gioca sul contrasto tra il nero e la finitura in metallo. Il protagonista assoluto della linea laterale è il serbatoio, una replica artigianale in stile Giap che allunga la silhouette della moto e si raccorda al codino monoposto tronco. Questa scelta stilistica snellisce l&#39;imponente architettura Laverda, donandole un tocco più filante rispetto ai volumi originali. Il frontale è caratterizzato da una semi-carena &quot;bikini&quot; che avvolge il faro tondo, offrendo quel profilo basso e aerodinamico tipico delle moto endurance anni &#39;70. I parafanghi sono ridotti al minimo e ogni elemento meccanico è messo in risalto dai carter lucidati a specchio che staccano sui cerchi in lega neri.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Il cuore pulsante è il massiccio tre cilindri da 1200cc. In questa preparazione, la respirazione è affidata a un sistema di scarico 3-in-2 cromato: i collettori convergono sotto il basamento per poi aprirsi in due terminali a megafono separati. Il risultato è una sinfonia meccanica cupa e metallica, inconfondibile firma dei motori veneti. La ciclistica resta fedele alla tradizione: niente sospensioni moderne con serbatoi separati, ma unità a doppio effetto dal design pulito e classico. La posizione di guida, con i semimanubri montati bassi, impone una postura raccolta e aggressiva, con il pilota letteralmente disteso sopra la meccanica.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Questa special riesce a fondere la forza bruta della meccanica Laverda con un&#39;estetica ricercata, dove il serbatoio artigianale e i richiami alle corse austriache creano un ponte perfetto tra la storia di Breganze e il mondo del custom d&#39;autore. Una macchina fatta di ferro e carattere, immaginata da Inazuma Cafè per chi non ha paura di domare un mito.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX_-SeoGDN7Cz44UIFkWfgZVXZvVMMToGbVNOPA8KKWNdLHDh8H9ufcgKHSWPb_9hIVz4lDbhmu92WdOQL8bEpWkm5zaP08ZL6jxcQBTZA4QelA9FeI2EdTj7MOHO5mJO8hys-1caEBW_qQMHfgJBnQZCdIA1sUQm8dGsiVFLNsn-eiFQcDbYye_HLhyphenhyphenU/s1600/Laverda_girl_003.png&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1557&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2500&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX_-SeoGDN7Cz44UIFkWfgZVXZvVMMToGbVNOPA8KKWNdLHDh8H9ufcgKHSWPb_9hIVz4lDbhmu92WdOQL8bEpWkm5zaP08ZL6jxcQBTZA4QelA9FeI2EdTj7MOHO5mJO8hys-1caEBW_qQMHfgJBnQZCdIA1sUQm8dGsiVFLNsn-eiFQcDbYye_HLhyphenhyphenU/s1600/Laverda_girl_003.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

With his project, dubbed &quot;Caliber Royale,&quot; Winston has taken the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 and propelled it into a realm where vintage aesthetics seamlessly collide with track-ready technology. Unveiled last November at EICMA Milan, and shortly after at the Mooneyes Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show, the Caliber Royale arrives seven years after the global success of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.inazumacafe.com/2018/12/blog-post_30.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Midas Royale&lt;/a&gt; (based on the Continental GT 650). It stands as its spiritual successor: a low-slung, elegant, and aggressive machine defined by a livery that masterfully alternates between gloss and matte black. Elevating the visual impact are refined, hand-applied gold leaf pinstripes, a direct nod to the prestige of its predecessor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The most striking feature is undoubtedly the massive &quot;dustbin&quot; style front fairing. Extending all the way to the wheel axle, this component grants the bike a menacing, aerodynamic profile, further sharpened by dual vertically-stacked LED projectors on the left side. The fuel tank, redesigned in Rough Crafts’ signature angular style, completes a silhouette that completely redefines the volumes of the original Shotgun. 
Beyond the &quot;dark&quot; aesthetic, the Caliber Royale hides top-tier mechanical components. The front end features inverted Öhlins FGRT forks, while the rear is handled by a pair of gas-charged shocks from the same brand. The Shotgun rolls on five-spoke BST carbon fiber wheels wrapped in high-performance Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP rubber. Braking power is entirely entrusted to premium Beringer components. Furthermore, the original swingarm has been replaced by a CNC-machined aluminum unit that stretches the wheelbase by 100 mm, providing a more stable, &quot;dragster-like&quot; stance. The 648cc parallel-twin breathes through a full titanium exhaust system terminating in an SC-Project muffler.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The synergy between the builder and the brand was so profound that Royal Enfield decided to celebrate Yeh’s work with the &quot;Shotgun 650 x Rough Crafts Drop&quot; — a limited edition of just 100 numbered units for the global market. This &quot;factory custom&quot; version retains the aesthetic DNA and attitude of the Caliber Royale, bringing Taipei’s exclusive design to a select group of collectors worldwide.V
With this new creation, Winston Yeh proves once again that modern technology and noble materials can coexist with the classic soul of a Royal Enfield, writing a bold new chapter in the history of world-class custom building.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&quot;Caliber Royale&quot;: Rough Crafts trasforma la Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 in un&#39;opera d&#39;arte hi-tech&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Quando Winston Yeh, fondatore di Rough Crafts, mette mano a una moto nella sua Taipei, il risultato è raramente qualcosa di convenzionale. Con il suo progetto &quot;Caliber Royale&quot;, Winston ha preso la Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 e l&#39;ha proiettata in una dimensione dove l&#39;estetica vintage incontra la tecnologia da pista. Presentata lo scorso novembre all’EICMA di Milano, e subito dopo al Mooneyes Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show, sette anni dopo il successo internazionale della &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.inazumacafe.com/2018/12/blog-post_30.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Midas Royale&lt;/a&gt; (basata sulla Continental GT 650), la Caliber Royale ne è il successore spirituale: una moto bassa, elegante e aggressiva, definita da una livrea che alterna sapientemente nero lucido e nero opaco. A elevare l&#39;impatto visivo sono i raffinati pinstripe in foglia d&#39;oro applicati a mano, che richiamano il prestigio della sua antenata. 
L&#39;elemento che colpisce al primo sguardo è l&#39;imponente carenatura anteriore in stile &quot;dustbin&quot;. Questo componente, che si estende fino all&#39;asse della ruota, conferisce alla moto un profilo aerodinamico e minaccioso, arricchito da due proiettori LED impilati verticalmente sul lato sinistro. Il serbatoio, ridisegnato nel tipico stile spigoloso di Rough Crafts, completa una silhouette che ridefinisce i volumi della Shotgun originale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;La Caliber Royale nasconde una meccanica di altissimo livello. All&#39;anteriore troviamo la forcella Öhlins FGRT a steli rovesciati, mentre al posteriore una coppia di ammortizzatori a gas della stessa marca. La Shotgun poggia su cerchi a cinque razze in fibra di carbonio BST, calzati da pneumatici Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP . L&#39;impianto frenante è interamente affidato a componenti Beringer. Il forcellone originale è stato sostituito con un&#39;unità in alluminio CNC che allunga l&#39;interasse di 100 mm, conferendo alla moto una posizione più stabile e &quot;dragster&quot;. Il motore bicilindrico da 648cc respira attraverso un sistema di scarico completo in titanio che termina in un silenziatore SC-Project.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;La collaborazione è stata così stretta che Royal Enfield ha deciso di celebrare l&#39;opera di Yeh con la &quot;Shotgun 650 x Rough Crafts Drop&quot;, una serie limitata di soli 100 esemplari numerati per il mercato globale. Questa versione &quot;factory custom&quot; riprende i dettagli estetici e l&#39;attitudine della Caliber Royale, rendendo accessibile l&#39;esclusivo design di Taipei a un ristretto numero di collezionisti in tutto il mondo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Con questa nuova creazione, Winston Yeh dimostra ancora una volta come la tecnologia moderna e i materiali nobili possano convivere con l&#39;anima classica di una Royal Enfield, scrivendo un nuovo capitolo nella storia del custom d&#39;autore.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

However, the build featured today on Inazuma Cafe is far from a standard conservative restoration. It is a muscular, radical interpretation that defies classic geometry in favor of a decidedly more aggressive stance.
The most striking feature is undoubtedly the chassis setup: bid farewell to the traditional 19-inch wheels. This special sits on a set of 16-inch rims wrapped in imposing Shinko &quot;fat tyres.&quot; It is a bold choice that lowers the center of gravity and grants the bike a &quot;planted,&quot; almost brutal silhouette.
While the aesthetic remains minimalist, the fuel tank has been finished in a refined satin turquoise with gold Honda graphics, creating a sharp contrast against the matte black frame and exposed mechanical components. The lines are remarkably clean: the rear end has been shortened and fitted with an ultra-flat leather seat.
The running gear has been thoroughly modernized. Up front, a USD (upside-down) fork paired with dual disc brakes provides contemporary stopping power for this 1970s icon. The 4-into-1 exhaust culminates in a brushed steel short-cone muffler, adding a raspy note to the SOHC engine, which now breathes freely through conical filters. This CB750 proves that even decades later, the &quot;Four&quot; remains the perfect blank canvas for builders who aren&#39;t afraid to push boundaries.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Quando parliamo della Honda CB750 Four, parliamo della &quot;Superbike&quot; originale, una moto che ha cambiato il corso della storia a due ruote con il suo leggendario quattro cilindri in linea. Quella che vi mostriamo oggi su Inazuma Cafe non è il solito restauro conservativo; è un’interpretazione muscolosa e radicale che sfida le geometrie classiche per abbracciare un look decisamente più aggressivo. L&#39;elemento che cattura lo sguardo è la scelta ciclistica: addio ai classici cerchi da 19 pollici. Questa special poggia su un set di cerchi da 16 pollici abbinati a imponenti &quot;fat tyres&quot; Shinko. È una scelta coraggiosa che abbassa il baricentro e conferisce alla moto una silhouette &quot;piantata a terra&quot;, quasi brutale. L’estetica è minimalista, ma il serbatoio è stato rifinito in una leziosa tonalità di turchese satinato con grafiche Honda dorate, creando un contrasto perfetto con il telaio nero opaco e le componenti meccaniche a vista. La linea è pulita: posteriore snello con telaio è stato accorciato e la sella in pelle ha un  profilo ultra-flat. La ciclistica è rivista: all&#39;anteriore troviamo una forcella a steli rovesciati (USD) che, insieme ai doppi dischi frenanti, garantisce una potenza d&#39;arresto moderna a una moto nata negli anni &#39;70. Lo scarico 4-in-1 termina con un silenziatore a cono corto in acciaio spazzolato, e dona una voce rauca al canto del propulsore SOHC che ora respira a pieni polmoni grazie ai filtri conici. Questa CB750 dimostra come, anche dopo decenni, la &quot;Four&quot; rimanga la tela bianca perfetta per i builder che non hanno paura di osare.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsn9D3ulN56nvraepkIchmTHG0q6Ga8ar_z6z28on28pqCNYkrbkrXVVcP8nEB57PU3lre4t7rYslTS2wJSMslvmDMIvLuXs2DD7D-g-9AZDGAsfVYSyFa4yxLbGTlKYvRH9MmepwT3mBdqt3-BFFHqvOW38Y3l8Gznm7Y0IEBrbnt01E4h0Vfgu4qeUg/s2400/CB750bob_002.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1446&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsn9D3ulN56nvraepkIchmTHG0q6Ga8ar_z6z28on28pqCNYkrbkrXVVcP8nEB57PU3lre4t7rYslTS2wJSMslvmDMIvLuXs2DD7D-g-9AZDGAsfVYSyFa4yxLbGTlKYvRH9MmepwT3mBdqt3-BFFHqvOW38Y3l8Gznm7Y0IEBrbnt01E4h0Vfgu4qeUg/s16000/CB750bob_002.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs12jrKGImusdSviKIIcW9-wjv0wEBwQukeydgcAcWJyfrP1HntStS2bh6HZj_Qaq54aScMWOq-hsJCydQi4VXr4u6MLOUmp9YA85o2t8Y77sQidOileWCC9QD1y8tpnvKMQV85u5Y5-rK0_6YMM2VlvJOjRIc95W2_WoLnB5Zw1hvOPK1P5i_2upU57c/s2400/CB750bob_003.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1448&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs12jrKGImusdSviKIIcW9-wjv0wEBwQukeydgcAcWJyfrP1HntStS2bh6HZj_Qaq54aScMWOq-hsJCydQi4VXr4u6MLOUmp9YA85o2t8Y77sQidOileWCC9QD1y8tpnvKMQV85u5Y5-rK0_6YMM2VlvJOjRIc95W2_WoLnB5Zw1hvOPK1P5i_2upU57c/s16000/CB750bob_003.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHkf8aFevxSwtTJ0e8fptJGrBgNIeKvByzgH1_haybrpGC-qi8M3C428m6-S4uFw0M8ZY-6gxRDKmbElk4H9TmDjv5AePqkawRuQd5tknAgu20MEYiMZTL-EI3FQDe-N3z9_TCPtVQUkEJJtSfaZEpx7OsUU3WdrGnWF1yhcg6gHK9gj0a7Eph2RWmi80/s2400/CB750bob_004.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1446&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHkf8aFevxSwtTJ0e8fptJGrBgNIeKvByzgH1_haybrpGC-qi8M3C428m6-S4uFw0M8ZY-6gxRDKmbElk4H9TmDjv5AePqkawRuQd5tknAgu20MEYiMZTL-EI3FQDe-N3z9_TCPtVQUkEJJtSfaZEpx7OsUU3WdrGnWF1yhcg6gHK9gj0a7Eph2RWmi80/s16000/CB750bob_004.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Suzuki GSX750: The Allure of the &quot;Slender Waist&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;We return to one of the most striking projects ever featured on Inazuma Café: the GSX750 by Milos Stankovic, hailing from Serbia. That was back in 2018, and today we celebrate a new evolution that inherits both its spirit and technical audacity.
The core of this build lies in a surgical intervention on the bike’s aesthetic soul: the fuel tank. To some, this might border on heresy, considering the Inazuma’s tank lines are among its most universally beloved features. Yet, borrowing Stankovic’s original concept, the stock Suzuki unit has undergone a delicate process of cutting and reshaping. The goal wasn’t merely to streamline the lines, but to completely redefine the bike’s silhouette, achieving what we like to call a &quot;slender waist&quot;—an incredibly sexy, sleek profile that accentuates the raw power of the air/oil-cooled four-cylinder engine.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Beyond the masterful metalwork on the tank, the build strictly adheres to the purest café racer canons:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Minimalist rear end:&lt;/i&gt; the subframe has been shortened and finished with a custom ribbed flat seat that perfectly follows the new tank line. In this specific configuration, the upper brackets of the double-cradle frame’s central triangle have been raised to increase the seat height... An engineering choice of questionable technical validity that, while acceptable in a digital rendering, is not recommended for actual road use.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;•	&lt;i&gt;Chassis&lt;/i&gt;: the front end features traditional forks with black gaiters for a retro touch, paired with low-slung clip-ons that provide a more aggressive, front-loaded riding position. Spoke wheels complete the frame.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;•	&lt;i&gt;Breathing room&lt;/i&gt;: the stock airbox has been removed in favor of high-flow conical filters.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;•	&lt;i&gt;Sound and exhaust&lt;/i&gt;: a raw, throaty roar is provided by an Arrow exhaust system ending in a compact muffler that integrates seamlessly with the clean lines of the swingarm.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;•	&lt;i&gt;Finishing touches&lt;/i&gt;: the brushed metal tank, protected by a matte clear coat, contrasts beautifully with the deep black frame and wheels, highlighting the Inazuma’s mechanical essence.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;This GSX750 is more than just a modified motorcycle; it is a challenge to proportions. It proves that with the right vision—and a healthy dose of courage to take a grinder to the steel—a modern classic can be transformed into a creature of timeless appeal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Stay angry, stay foolish, stay Inazuma!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDqz22jvILNKYNXhGTfKLUIVVh4TBUjtIvOYCgvj3Cm4eMH16nu4MAXlnZDUE8vQkSOQbAV20-zzF5SJjF_uyUrJ1AjD2q32OPbzFUE7Ek9Z1Iku4KrSgI6n94CMxL2l79nWjrHw0mn6ixD_8vtPJB35YMHiY5BlWrbcXZ-glfFqiWOBwapF9FDNZ08Pg/s1600/Slender_Inazuma_002.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1495&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDqz22jvILNKYNXhGTfKLUIVVh4TBUjtIvOYCgvj3Cm4eMH16nu4MAXlnZDUE8vQkSOQbAV20-zzF5SJjF_uyUrJ1AjD2q32OPbzFUE7Ek9Z1Iku4KrSgI6n94CMxL2l79nWjrHw0mn6ixD_8vtPJB35YMHiY5BlWrbcXZ-glfFqiWOBwapF9FDNZ08Pg/s1600/Slender_Inazuma_002.jpeg&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Il Fascino della &quot;Vita Sottile&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Torniamo a parlare di uno dei progetti passati sotto i riflettori dell’Inazuma Cafè che più mi ha colpito: la GSX750 di Milos Stankovic, dalla Serbia. Era il 2018, e oggi intendiamo celebrarne una nuova evoluzione che ne eredita lo spirito e l&#39;audacia tecnica. Il cuore di questa elaborazione risiede in un intervento chirurgico sul cuore estetico della moto: il serbatoio. Si direbbe una eresia, considerato che le forme del serbatoio Inazuma ne sono uno delle caratteristiche universalmente più apprezzate. Mutuando l&#39;idea di Stankovic, l&#39;originale unità Suzuki è stata sottoposta a un delicato processo di taglio e ricostruzione. L&#39;obiettivo non era solo snellire le linee, ma ridefinire completamente la silhouette della moto, ottenendo quella che amiamo definire una &quot;vita sottile&quot;: un profilo estremamente sexy e filante che mette in risalto la possanza del motore quattro cilindri raffreddato ad aria/olio.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Oltre al lavoro magistrale sul serbatoio, l&#39;elaborazione segue i canoni più puri del mondo café racer:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Posteriore minimalista:&lt;/i&gt; il telaietto è stato accorciato e rifinito con una sella piatta artigianale a coste, che segue perfettamente la nuova linea del serbatoio. Anche le staffe superiori del triangolo centrale del telaio doppia culla, qui, sono state arbitrariamente sollevate per alzare la quota sella… Una follia di dubbia accettabilità ingegneristica che, tuttavia, in un rendering digitale non nuoce: non fatelo a casa!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;• &lt;i&gt;Ciclistica:&lt;/i&gt; all&#39;avantreno troviamo una forcella tradizionale con soffietti neri per un tocco rétro, accoppiata a semimanubri bassi che caricano la guida sull&#39;anteriore.

Such is the case with this striking Triumph Speed Triple 900. Originally a 1983 model, it underwent a radical transformation in 2021 at the hands of Naples-based Moto Design Custom.
From the outset, the Neapolitan team’s mission was clear: to turn a British classic into a true &quot;asphalt eater.&quot; This wasn&#39;t merely a cosmetic exercise. The engine was tuned to deliver a significant power boost, a move that necessitated an overhaul of the chassis. To harness this newfound aggression, the bike was fitted with upside-down forks and a high-performance braking system featuring radial calipers, ensuring the ride is as sharp and responsive as its silhouette suggests. The cockpit follows suit with a minimalist, high-tech aesthetic, utilizing Motogadget instrumentation and switchgear that seamlessly integrate into the bike’s stripped-back profile.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The Inazuma Café Twist… At Inazuma Café, we have a long-standing tradition of respecting the masters while occasionally shuffling the deck. &quot;Inazumizing&quot; bespoke creations — especially those with a few years of history — is part of our DNA. For this feature, we’ve decided to reimagine the bike&#39;s visual identity. While the original Moto Design Custom build sported a vibrant electric blue livery with a bold Union Jack on the tank &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/MotoDesignCustomsNapoli/posts/pfbid02AHBYo5ZQZeQyfc3YjGtLvSSvL4wgBrhLXNrZgJ2P3cwRCyeedmEg1p5Bjc1yUm6ol&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;(link)&lt;/a&gt;, we’ve opted for a sophisticated Red &amp;amp; Silver scheme. This classic pairing accentuates the muscular lines of the tank and complements the raw metallic finishes of the engine block. We trust you’ll forgive our stylistic detour. After all, changing perspective is often the best way to rediscover a masterpiece. What’s your take? Does the original electric blue grit win out, or do you prefer the timeless elegance of this Red &amp;amp; Silver attire?

È il caso di questa splendida Triumph Speed Triple 900, nata originariamente nel 1983 e passata sotto le sapienti mani di Moto Design Custom a Napoli nel 2021.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;L&#39;obiettivo del team partenopeo era chiaro fin dall&#39;inizio: trasformare una classica inglese in una vera &quot;asphalt eater&quot;. Per farlo, non si sono limitati all&#39;estetica. Il motore è stato spremuto per ottenere una cavalleria superiore, una modifica che ha reso necessario un aggiornamento radicale della ciclistica. Per gestire la nuova grinta, la moto è stata equipaggiata con forcelle a steli rovesciati, ammortizzatore di sterzo, e un impianto frenante di prim&#39;ordine con pinze a freno radiali, garantendo una guida precisa e reattiva.
Il ponte di comando non è da meno: pulizia estrema e tecnologia moderna grazie alla strumentazione e ai comandi al manubrio firmati Motogadget, che si integrano perfettamente nel look minimalista della special.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Il tocco di Inazuma Café... Qui a Inazuma Café, lo sapete, ammiriamo il lavoro dei maestri, ma amiamo anche giocare con le carte in tavola. Fa parte del nostro DNA &quot;inazumizzare&quot; le moto speciali d’autore, specialmente se hanno già qualche anno sulle spalle.
Per questa versione, abbiamo deciso di immaginare una veste cromatica diversa. Se l&#39;originale di Moto Design Custom sfoggiava un vibrante blu elettrico con l&#39;immancabile Union Jack monocromatico sul serbatoio &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/MotoDesignCustomsNapoli/posts/pfbid02AHBYo5ZQZeQyfc3YjGtLvSSvL4wgBrhLXNrZgJ2P3cwRCyeedmEg1p5Bjc1yUm6ol&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;(link)&lt;/a&gt;, noi abbiamo optato per una raffinata livrea Red &amp;amp; Silver e, già che c&#39;eravamo, abbiamo anche lucidato il monoblocco. Un accostamento classico che sottolinea le linee muscolose del serbatoio e dialoga con le finiture metalliche del motore.
Siamo certi che ci perdonerete questo piccolo &quot;strappo alla regola&quot; stilistica. Dopotutto, cambiare prospettiva è il modo migliore per riscoprire un capolavoro.

Mention the Wrenchmonkees, and thoughts turn to brushed metal, clean lines, and that unique ability to make even the most elegant bike look mean.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;About 13 years ago, at the peak of their fame, the Copenhagen garage left us speechless with their custom Laverda 750 SF — a minimalist reinterpretation that perfectly highlighted the mighty Italian parallel twin. Today, at Inazuma Cafe we have decided to push our imagination further, exploring a new virtual concept: what if that signature &quot;Monkee&quot; treatment were applied to its big sister, the legendary Laverda 1000 Jota?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;To understand the scale of such a challenge, one must remember what the Laverda 1000 Jota represented in the 1970s. The Jota&#39;s legacy is pure power. It was not just a motorcycle; it was the fastest production bike in the world between 1976 and 1977, capable of exceeding 225 km/h. Its heart remains a masterpiece of engineering: a 981 cc inline-triple, DOHC, producing up to 97 hp at 7,800 rpm. It delivered brutal power, designed for those unafraid to tame a heavy, muscular machine weighing around 240 kg. The frame is a story in itself. While at first glance the frames of the 750 SF and the 1000 Jota seem to share Breganze&#39;s same design philosophy, structurally they belong to two completely different worlds.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;If the Wrenchmonkees were to follow the philosophy applied to the 750 SF, we would see a 1000 stripped of all superfluous bodywork. Imagine a shortened and cleaned-up frame, a swingarm modified to accommodate a modern monoshock — perhaps derived from a Yamaha R6, as on their SF — and a tank-and-seat line running taut and parallel to the ground. This time, the chassis would be the 1000 Jota&#39;s double-cradle frame, suitably adapted for the project.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The 750 SF frame was a piece of bespoke tailoring stitched around the twin-cylinder engine: slender, lacking a closed bottom cradle, and using the engine as a stressed member. Conversely, to harness the fury and roughly 90 hp of the 1000 Jota&#39;s legendary twin-cam triple, the Venetian engineers had to radically redesign the structure. The 1000&#39;s frame is not only wider and taller in the middle section to house the bulky DOHC cylinder head, but it also introduces crucial gussets and reinforcements around the steering head and the swingarm pivot. This over-engineering was necessary to counter the brutal vibrations and torsional stresses generated by the unique 180-degree crankshaft timing of the three-cylinder engine (with the outer crankpins at 360° and the center one at 180°), making a direct engine swap impossible without radical — and frankly daring — frame modifications.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The visual impact of the triple engine would take center stage. In this concept, the choice falls on a three-into-two exhaust configuration: the headers merge and then split into two short-cone mufflers, one on each side. This perfectly balances the slender tail and delivers that dark, asymmetric roar typical of 180-degree crankshafts. No classic orange liveries here: with the exception of the minimal bodywork, only dark tones or bare metal would be used to emphasize the mechanical and raw soul of the Venetian beast.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Between reality and dream, while waiting for someone to turn this idea into metal, we at Inazuma Cafe continue to offer you visions and virtual concepts that keep the passion for cafe racers alive. Because sometimes, a single image is all it takes to smell the burnt oil and hear the roar of three pistons claiming the asphalt.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY7ICFCvctMdgvrsmKgqDzdzLDQXFhp9bhF-ZN0xRXGMRtWcJU4niRS-H8LAndAGY1NQELsyra7UPcmZlaJG9ExO1MMp4S2RGthSrD3g6oGS1UGnbp2ULcVgo91o5i3-Q5DLGExGvo34fnU0mAhz7njtj5dbOv_pmrmfqbd8FbucDet1tsWELG7A_1_SY/s1600/WM_Laverda1000_002.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1500&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY7ICFCvctMdgvrsmKgqDzdzLDQXFhp9bhF-ZN0xRXGMRtWcJU4niRS-H8LAndAGY1NQELsyra7UPcmZlaJG9ExO1MMp4S2RGthSrD3g6oGS1UGnbp2ULcVgo91o5i3-Q5DLGExGvo34fnU0mAhz7njtj5dbOv_pmrmfqbd8FbucDet1tsWELG7A_1_SY/s1600/WM_Laverda1000_002.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;La Bestia di Breganze: e se i Wrenchmonkees mettessero le mani su una Laverda 1000?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Nel mondo delle special, ci sono nomi che evocano immediatamente un&#39;estetica precisa. Se diciamo Wrenchmonkees, pensiamo a metallo spazzolato, linee essenziali e quella capacità unica di rendere &quot;cattiva&quot; anche la moto più elegante.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Circa 13 anni fa, al culmine del suo successo, il garage di Copenhagen ci lasciò a bocca aperta con la sua Laverda 750 SF custom, una reinterpretazione minimalista che esaltava il possente bicilindrico italiano. Oggi, noi di Inazuma Cafe abbiamo deciso di spingere l&#39;immaginazione oltre, esplorando un nuovo progetto virtuale: e se il trattamento &quot;Monkee&quot; venisse applicato alla sorella maggiore, la mitica Laverda 1000 Jota?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Per capire la portata di una simile sfida, bisogna ricordare cos&#39;era la Laverda 1000 Jota negli anni &#39;70. L&#39;Eredità della Jota è potenza pura. Non era solo una moto; era la moto omologata più veloce del mondo (1976-1977), capace di superare i 225 km/h. Il suo cuore è tuttora un capolavoro di ingegneria: tricilindrico in linea da 981 cm³, DOHC, sino a 97 CV a 7.800 giri/min. Ha un&#39;erogazione brutale, pensata per chi non ha paura di domare un mezzo pesante (circa 240 kg) e muscoloso. Il telaio è una storia a se. Mentre a prima vista i telai della SF 750 e della Jota 1000 sembrano condividere la stessa filosofia costruttiva di Breganze, sotto il profilo strutturale sono due mondi completamente diversi.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Se i Wrenchmonkees seguissero la filosofia applicata alla SF 750, vedremmo una 1000 spogliata di ogni sovrastruttura superflua. Immaginate un telaio accorciato e ripulito, un forcellone modificato per ospitare un monoammortizzatore moderno (magari derivato da una R6 come sulla loro SF) e una linea serbatoio-sella che corre tesa e parallela al suolo. Questa volta, il telaio sarebbe il doppia culla della Jota 1000, opportunamente adattato al progetto: quello della 750 SF era un&#39;opera di precisione sartoriale cucita attorno al motore bicilindrico: snello e privo di una culla inferiore chiusa e sfruttava il propulsore come elemento portante e stressato. Al contrario, per imbrigliare la furia e i circa 90 CV del leggendario tricilindrico bialbero della 1000 Jota, i tecnici veneti dovettero riprogettare radicalmente la struttura. Il telaio della 1000 non solo presenta una larghezza e un&#39;altezza maggiorate nella parte centrale per ospitare l&#39;ingombrante testata DOHC, ma introduce fazzoletti di rinforzo cruciali nella zona del cannotto di sterzo e del perno forcellone. Questi sovradimensionamenti si resero necessari per contrastare le brutali vibrazioni e le torsioni generate dalla particolare fasatura a 180° dell&#39;albero motore a tre cilindri (manovelle laterali a 360° e quella centrale a 180°), rendendo di fatto impossibile un trapianto diretto senza interventi radicali di carpenteria, nelle circostanze, perlomeno arditi.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;L&#39;impatto visivo del tre cilindri sarebbe il protagonista assoluto. In questo concept, la scelta ricade su una configurazione di scarico tre-in-due: i collettori si uniscono per poi sdoppiarsi in due terminali a cono corto, uno per lato, che bilanciano perfettamente il posteriore snello e regalano quel sound cupo e asimmetrico tipico delle manovelle a 180°. Niente livree arancioni classiche: con la sola eccezione della carrozzeria minimale, solo toni scuri o metallo nudo, per sottolineare l&#39;anima meccanica e &quot;grezza&quot; della bestia veneta.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Tra Realtà e sogno, in attesa che qualcuno decida di trasformare questa idea in metallo, noi di Inazuma Cafe continuiamo a proporvi visioni e progetti virtuali che tengono viva la passione per le cafe racer.

In the world of &quot;specials,&quot; the name Egli-Vincent conjures images of nickel-plated backbone frames, gargantuan 1000cc V-Twins (or the 1330cc variants by Godet Motorcycles), and that timeless aesthetic that defined the very essence of the Cafe Racer. Today, however, thanks to the web’s &quot;pixel-wizards,&quot; we can push the boundaries beyond traditional mechanics. Between heritage and rendering, starting from the solid foundation of a classic Egli, this digital build introduces elements that might make purists cringe but will surely ignite the desire of any modern design enthusiast. At its heart lies the iconic Vincent engine — a sculptural block that appears almost too massive for the frame housing it. The most radical departure lies in the chassis: Inverted Forks: the traditionally slender lines of the front end are disrupted by beefy upside-down forks. This modification not only visually shifts the weight forward but also suggests the sharp handling of a modern superbike, creating a brutal contrast with the brushed aluminum fuel tank.16-Inch Wheels: this is where the rendering challenges both physics and tradition. Utilizing 16&quot; wheels — typical of bobbers or vintage 1980s racing bikes — gives the motorcycle a compressed, aggressive stance. The generous tire sidewalls fill out the proportions, making the Egli-Vincent silhouette appear more compact and muscular than the lean 18&quot; or 19&quot; wheel versions. The look wants to be raw and refined, tied together by a diamond-stitched solo seat and a stunning bottleneck exhaust in polished steel. This stylistic choice serves as a clear nod to British heritage: the clean lines and tapered end of the muffler balance the aggression of the modern forks, preserving that vintage soul only an Egli-Vincent can project. The mirror-polished metal finish and copper accents on the engine casings add a &quot;steampunk&quot; flair, making this digital experiment truly one-of-a-kind.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Though it currently exists only as a file, this interpretation reminds us that Fritz Egli’s original spirit was all about enhancing excellence through innovation. Who will be the first &quot;madman&quot;— outside of a digital environment — with the courage (and the money) to turn these pixels into cold, hard metal?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Digital Dream: una Egli-Vincent che rompe gli schemi...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Cosa succede quando la leggenda incontra la manipolazione digitale? Nel mondo delle special, il nome Egli-Vincent evoca immagini di telai a trave centrale nichelati, mastodontici bicilindrici V-Twin da 1000cc (o le varianti da 1330cc di Godet Motorcycles) e quell’estetica senza tempo che ha definito il concetto stesso di Cafe Racer. Ma oggi, grazie ai &quot;pixel-wizard&quot; del web, possiamo spingere il limite oltre la meccanica tradizionale.
Tra passato e rendering, questa elaborazione digitale, partendo dalla solida base di una classica Egli, introduce elementi che farebbero storcere il naso ai puristi ma che accendono il desiderio di ogni appassionato di design moderno. Il cuore rimane l&#39;iconico motore Vincent, un blocco scultoreo che sembra quasi troppo grande per il telaio che lo ospita. Il cambiamento radicale avviene nella ciclistica. Forcelle Invertite: la classica linea snella dell&#39;avantreno viene stravolta da massicce forcelle a stelo rovesciato. Questa modifica non solo sposta visivamente il peso verso l&#39;anteriore, ma suggerisce una precisione di guida da Superbike moderna, creando un contrasto brutale con il serbatoio in alluminio spazzolato. Cerchi da 16 Pollici: qui il rendering sfida la fisica e la tradizione. L&#39;uso di cerchi da 16&quot;, tipici delle bobber o delle moto da corsa vintage degli anni &#39;80, regala alla moto una &quot;stance&quot; compressa e aggressiva. Le spalle generose degli pneumatici riempiono i volumi, rendendo la silhouette dell&#39;Egli-Vincent più compatta e muscolosa rispetto alle snelle versioni con cerchi da 18&quot; o 19&quot;. L’estetica ricercata è grezza e raffinata. Il look è completato da una sella monoposto con trapuntatura a diamante e da uno splendido scarico a bottiglia in acciaio lucido. Questa scelta stilistica vuole essere un omaggio alla tradizione britannica: la linea pulita e il finale rastremato del terminale bilanciano l&#39;aggressività delle forcelle moderne, mantenendo intatto quel sapore vintage che solo un&#39;Egli-Vincent sa trasmettere.
La finitura a specchio del metallo e i dettagli in rame sui carter motore aggiungono un tocco &quot;steam-punk&quot; che rende questo esperimento digitale unico nel suo genere. Anche se (per ora) vive solo in un file, questa interpretazione ci ricorda che lo spirito di Fritz Egli era proprio quello di migliorare l&#39;eccellenza attraverso l&#39;innovazione. Chi sarà il primo folle, oltre che abbiente, preparatore ad avere il coraggio di trasformare questi pixel in metallo?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmblMEmyJYAKju28fEcljgHGsu0k2aPsUH4Sy_aoTmJqwm_MQDPoeJNSXPO_7MqWfV8GDOwToPUiuRHxoRNS7Y1Cd5iA1YlnDsmtVyrqHyAGeGsJjVA31vOdOdr6-UptuDoIblTz-Dc6EODxcfiEl7ndgSBG7rCueU2cJNz3FvqB2O2OkCE4Jd71jheXM/s1600/Egli_sport_002.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1280&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2048&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmblMEmyJYAKju28fEcljgHGsu0k2aPsUH4Sy_aoTmJqwm_MQDPoeJNSXPO_7MqWfV8GDOwToPUiuRHxoRNS7Y1Cd5iA1YlnDsmtVyrqHyAGeGsJjVA31vOdOdr6-UptuDoIblTz-Dc6EODxcfiEl7ndgSBG7rCueU2cJNz3FvqB2O2OkCE4Jd71jheXM/s1600/Egli_sport_002.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0RznOtWJci-oJmuOLP5rdMl6kgJcRm1aNJkaJ2fBmspDrHq-GQZ1hOaQNzNmFfkOC9vnaafj_otU7JxRpuYYFSoKZIHguSrGjKthxks3w1R8cJCJu5KrfgVV2SqmNe4cTqcMfL9_9cb6eCfOL83vKu4SjV1uNRB78gseTBJlbroozVRYqF1wOOVpYRqI/s1600/Egli_sport_003%202.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1280&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2048&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0RznOtWJci-oJmuOLP5rdMl6kgJcRm1aNJkaJ2fBmspDrHq-GQZ1hOaQNzNmFfkOC9vnaafj_otU7JxRpuYYFSoKZIHguSrGjKthxks3w1R8cJCJu5KrfgVV2SqmNe4cTqcMfL9_9cb6eCfOL83vKu4SjV1uNRB78gseTBJlbroozVRYqF1wOOVpYRqI/s1600/Egli_sport_003%202.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Their canvas? A gargantuan Honda CB1300, a Japanese titan revered for its bulletproof reliability and relentless torque. Originally built by the workshop a few years ago, this project has recently undergone a striking but, unfortunately, only virtual evolution.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;After spotting the bike back on the market, my creative spark was reignited. I couldn&#39;t resist the urge to &quot;Inazumize&quot; it—reimagining the build with bespoke aluminum bodywork designed to shroud and accentuate its formidable mechanical heart.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Naked metal and minimalist lines… &lt;/i&gt;The centerpiece is undoubtedly the handcrafted, brushed aluminum fuel tank. Its sinuous yet aggressive lines replace the original’s bulky proportions, granting the bike a leaner, more &quot;racing&quot; silhouette. The exposed metal is more than an aesthetic choice; it’s a manifesto. In this build, plastic has no place—only raw, mechanical substance remains.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Performance and bespoke details…&lt;/i&gt; The transformation by Bottega Bastarda, however, runs deeper than the surface. Dominating the front end is a massive upside-down fork paired with gold radial calipers, promising a level of handling precision the stock model could never achieve. Low-slung clip-ons dictate a committed, forward-leaning riding position—a hallmark of pure café racer DNA—while the rear is defined by a minimalist single-seater cowl that flawlessly integrates the diamond-stitched leather saddle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;The roar of the inline-four…&lt;/i&gt; The Honda powerplant remains the protagonist, now breathing freely through exposed conical filters and a custom 4-in-1 exhaust system. The setup features heat-wrapped headers and a low-slung megaphone muffler that adds a gritty, &quot;garage-built&quot; edge to this high-caliber special.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;This reinterpretation proves that even a heavyweight like the CB1300 can be distilled into a sharp, menacing work of art, ready to turn heads the moment it unleashes its horses on the tarmac.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSHg6JA8rMvfUJwDwu_zcmW8rdZCbZHzRQtvgi3VwftrLFxSnRRJVT0jTD7poZDs66rs8KOIH53CEOYvLHn68_syvTilYTjoFCUZi_aGookWdox9jd6_sP6Arumh7vyQa0GKkS8-zFRrlJIlXeGPfVdVbJ9wLXiZFR2eC2SenxglbOzovLzcPX8qVe3rk/s1600/Bottega_CB1300_02.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1560&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2500&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSHg6JA8rMvfUJwDwu_zcmW8rdZCbZHzRQtvgi3VwftrLFxSnRRJVT0jTD7poZDs66rs8KOIH53CEOYvLHn68_syvTilYTjoFCUZi_aGookWdox9jd6_sP6Arumh7vyQa0GKkS8-zFRrlJIlXeGPfVdVbJ9wLXiZFR2eC2SenxglbOzovLzcPX8qVe3rk/s1600/Bottega_CB1300_02.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;La forza bruta dell’alluminio: la Honda CB 1300 &quot;Inazumizzata&quot; di Bottega Bastarda...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Nel mondo delle café racer, c&#39;è chi punta alla leggerezza e chi, come i ragazzi di Bottega Bastarda di Forlì, preferisce esaltare la muscolosità di una vera &quot;muscle bike&quot;. La base di partenza è una mastodontica Honda CB 1300, il colosso giapponese noto per l&#39;affidabilità e la coppia infinita, realizzato dall&#39;officina romagnola qualche anno fa.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Di recente, dopo averla incrociata nuovamente in vendita sul web, è scattata la scintilla: non ho saputo resistere e l&#39;ho letteralmente &quot;inazumizzata&quot;. Ho voluto immaginarla con una veste ancora più audace, dove una nuova carrozzeria in alluminio andasse a coprire e valorizzare la sua già ragguardevole meccanica.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Metallo nudo e linee essenziali…&lt;/i&gt; Il primo elemento che cattura lo sguardo è indubbiamente il serbatoio in alluminio spazzolato lavorato a mano. Le sue linee sinuose ma decise sostituiscono le forme più abbondanti dell&#39;originale, conferendo alla moto un profilo più snello e &quot;racing&quot;. Il metallo lasciato a vista non è solo una scelta estetica, ma una dichiarazione d&#39;intenti: qui non c&#39;è spazio per la plastica, solo sostanza meccanica.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ciclistica e dettagli da &quot;Special&quot;&lt;/i&gt;… La trasformazione di Bottega Bastarda, comunque, non era puramente estetica. All&#39;anteriore spicca una poderosa forcella a steli rovesciati che, insieme alle pinze freno ad attacco radiale color oro, promette una precisione di guida forse sconosciuta al modello di serie. I semimanubri bassi obbligano il pilota a una posizione di guida caricata in avanti, tipica delle café racer più pure, mentre il posteriore è dominato da un codino monoposto minimale che integra perfettamente la sella in pelle trapuntata.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Il ruggito del quattro cilindri…&lt;/i&gt; Il cuore pulsante Honda rimane protagonista, ma ora respira meglio grazie a filtri conici a vista e uno scarico artigianale 4-in-1 con terminale a tromboncino che termina basso sul lato destro. I collettori fasciati con bende termiche aggiungono quel tocco &quot;garage&quot; che non guasta mai su una special di questo livello.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Questa reinterpretazione dimostra che anche una moto imponente come la CB 1300 può trasformarsi in un&#39;opera d&#39;arte agile e cattiva, capace di attirare sguardi ovunque decida di scatenare i suoi cavalli.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

The striking red and gunmetal grey two-tone livery embodies its &quot;Red Bull&quot; moniker, a theme further accentuated by the vibrant red finish of the wheels.
The front end has undergone a significant evolution: the installation of inverted forks visually compacts the bike, creating a forward-leaning, street-fighter stance. The rear section has been streamlined with a classic &quot;cowl&quot; single-seater tail that seamlessly follows the tank’s contours, exposing the rear wheel for a cleaner profile.
Complementing this custom spirit are the short steel cone exhaust and circular bar-end mirrors. Beneath the new skin, the legendary 750cc SACS engine remains—the beating heart of a machine that now perfectly balances Suzuki’s mechanical reliability with an uncompromising road presence.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Questa classica realizzazione custom trasforma radicalmente una Inazuma del 2000 nello stile cafè che conosciamo bene, sostituendo l&#39;estetica retrò originale con un design aggressivo e minimalista. La livrea bicolore rossa e antracite incarna l&#39;identità del toro, richiamata anche dai vivaci cerchi rossi.
L’avantreno si è evoluto: la forcella a steli rovesciati accorcia visivamente la moto, caricandola sull&#39;anteriore per un look da vera street-fighter. Il posteriore è stato snellito con il classico codino a &quot;unghia&quot; monoposto che segue la linea del serbatoio, liberando la vista sulla ruota posteriore. Lo scarico a cono corto in acciaio e gli specchietti bar-end circolari sottolineano l&#39;anima custom. Sotto la nuova veste batte ancora il leggendario motore SACS da 750cc, cuore pulsante di una moto che ora unisce l&#39;affidabilità meccanica Suzuki a una presenza scenica senza compromessi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;

It was love at first sight: seeing it in the flesh was a striking experience that compelled me to capture it in countless shots. Since then, I have closely followed the evolution of the various interpretations Dino has expertly tailored around the mammoth Triumph Rocket III.
Based on the Rocket III Roadster, the Rocketter is a &quot;dark special&quot; with an imposing stage presence—matching its massive weight and tractor-like torque—yet reinterpreted with a surprisingly minimalist aesthetic. The project highlights the brutal nature of the monstrous 2,300cc triple like few others: by employing direct-induction conical filters and a custom three-into-one exhaust, the original cruiser is transformed into a purebred dragster.
With the exception of the exhaust, every custom component was hand-crafted in Dino’s workshop. The livery features an aggressive mix of matte black and wrinkle-finish paint, leaving almost no room for chrome: only the exhaust, the instrument bezel, and the Roadster logo break the &quot;total black&quot; theme. Everything else—from the fender supports to the wheels, the drag-style handlebar to the levers, and even the tank badges—is drenched in darkness.
Standout technical details include the relocation of the instrument cluster to the lower right, near the radiator, while the three intake filters loom menacingly on the left side. The stock twin headlights have been replaced by a compact single projector, encased in a bespoke cowl. A brutal foundation that Dino Romano offered to clients, ready to be further tailored to their desires.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;La Rocketter fece il suo debutto ufficiale all&#39;EICMA 2010, nata dal genio di Dino Romano, all’epoca con il marchio Drag &amp;amp; Racing. Fu amore a prima vista: vederla dal vivo fu un’esperienza folgorante che mi spinse a immortalarla in numerosi scatti. Da quel momento, ho seguito con passione l&#39;evoluzione delle varie interpretazioni che Dino ha saputo cucire sulla mastodontica Triumph Rocket III.
Costruita sulla base di una Rocket III Roadster, la Rocketter è una &quot;special dark&quot; dalla presenza scenica imponente, coerente con il suo peso e la coppia da rimorchiatore, ma reinterpretata con un look sorprendentemente minimalista. Il progetto riesce a esaltare come pochi l&#39;anima brutale del tre cilindri da 2.300cc: grazie all&#39;adozione di filtri conici ad aspirazione diretta e a un nuovo scarico artigianale tre-in-uno, la cruiser originale si trasforma in una dragster di pura razza.
Fatta eccezione per lo scarico, ogni componente speciale è stato realizzato a mano nell&#39;officina di Dino. La livrea gioca su un mix aggressivo di nero opaco e vernice raggrizzante, lasciando pochissimo spazio alle cromature: solo lo scarico, il bordo della strumentazione e il logo Roadster staccano dal &quot;total black&quot;. Tutto il resto — dai supporti parafanghi ai cerchi, dal manubrio quasi dritto alle leve, fino ai loghi sul serbatoio — è immerso nell&#39;oscurità.
Particolari tecnici di rilievo includono il riposizionamento della strumentazione in basso a destra, vicino al radiatore, mentre sul lato sinistro svettano minacciosi i tre filtri d&#39;aspirazione. Il massiccio doppio faro di serie ha lasciato il posto a un singolo proiettore più compatto, incastonato in un cupolino disegnato ad hoc. Una base brutale, che Dino Romano offriva ai clienti pronta per essere ulteriormente cucita su misura.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlAGHXSIyj0K1-ax85fFpVT0PqWZ6fbCdtm37x9b18xUK4-AJ2UT7gxWiEPBDJRUr8w-M1KFJgnpvIRAYVt2jLdQYPDPRS5uG-5XXqAoCz2sWjDUcju4wlwQEbhdd3vA7vvvMc31tiXp8wvdJcyf8HKKoPv_hvMRZhinN34EcSycIUmyEU2McMN2P4JuU/s1600/Rocket_002.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1500&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlAGHXSIyj0K1-ax85fFpVT0PqWZ6fbCdtm37x9b18xUK4-AJ2UT7gxWiEPBDJRUr8w-M1KFJgnpvIRAYVt2jLdQYPDPRS5uG-5XXqAoCz2sWjDUcju4wlwQEbhdd3vA7vvvMc31tiXp8wvdJcyf8HKKoPv_hvMRZhinN34EcSycIUmyEU2McMN2P4JuU/s1600/Rocket_002.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirVGyTlsCdX7KcTdRDVrqW0EU_1JUpWgt7kVHdWmJn0257vmzyq-DHOW9aRXaNoahx6yD0qD6eG2KK6JRXG8YP_0DEWmRZHvLRvO_gzoFdeoKyIzM3KRlAx6IjwOXmq9RGA6Nnz5XZU2Ek3pPZHnbEvby4WSQC5ZVTxbY4yKGc1S5Qu0ISYXKR6SSj1iQ/s1600/Rocket_003.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1312&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2100&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirVGyTlsCdX7KcTdRDVrqW0EU_1JUpWgt7kVHdWmJn0257vmzyq-DHOW9aRXaNoahx6yD0qD6eG2KK6JRXG8YP_0DEWmRZHvLRvO_gzoFdeoKyIzM3KRlAx6IjwOXmq9RGA6Nnz5XZU2Ek3pPZHnbEvby4WSQC5ZVTxbY4yKGc1S5Qu0ISYXKR6SSj1iQ/s1600/Rocket_003.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxIHrsbooI8Pt8RZzYmxHctA4-kMFxHH0hfWVctCJocg_8uwMLqCKjz41mFpfm-CzO-3YMrMVa9EheYp8Sn1dSzngQ-kRJ7F5mPH-yvgT7rA_wY1pG-conI7QCJshc-JZTiUP2n5K4zLeL4i6vguwgZKLqjW1LzcD4cWUYgIbWfRjSaxOjsvjowklxCC4/s1600/Rocket_004.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1500&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxIHrsbooI8Pt8RZzYmxHctA4-kMFxHH0hfWVctCJocg_8uwMLqCKjz41mFpfm-CzO-3YMrMVa9EheYp8Sn1dSzngQ-kRJ7F5mPH-yvgT7rA_wY1pG-conI7QCJshc-JZTiUP2n5K4zLeL4i6vguwgZKLqjW1LzcD4cWUYgIbWfRjSaxOjsvjowklxCC4/s1600/Rocket_004.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjfGGHFuqojsV9gUt5LectrDCCOQ4qHICqrI1gpdfWzjntLJyOsf_wsp8WQn_bB2EHVWGv4NeAdeR0BXq87ipzJtsfNDjYDdbOQgTCGgWwIKARjgHMwmvEfbMmfEjKC56SPHBLP3eZmBODx4JAOdPb0oKpoP0oq1mzZziU8Q1utRVTMWACFal3gBefDEU/s1600/Rocket_005.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1500&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjfGGHFuqojsV9gUt5LectrDCCOQ4qHICqrI1gpdfWzjntLJyOsf_wsp8WQn_bB2EHVWGv4NeAdeR0BXq87ipzJtsfNDjYDdbOQgTCGgWwIKARjgHMwmvEfbMmfEjKC56SPHBLP3eZmBODx4JAOdPb0oKpoP0oq1mzZziU8Q1utRVTMWACFal3gBefDEU/s1600/Rocket_005.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3WVIQgcyZ1pRE9BcqwLfZfJnUsWO0cycqCb_mtOQB7NavWJ2q33cUrbSZsZ-DJKn066PWEJi8on5N_Us65NPoukAOeGM-M3q9q05tNdqyGbt38ni4kXfSnpCiiqYZE2ULiYhj1oY5hHCbyvpO5bOtJ2_DfNi1oEjdXaMc9aOxmqY9MQw8Blc5Gh0wAX0/s1600/Rocket_006.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1375&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3WVIQgcyZ1pRE9BcqwLfZfJnUsWO0cycqCb_mtOQB7NavWJ2q33cUrbSZsZ-DJKn066PWEJi8on5N_Us65NPoukAOeGM-M3q9q05tNdqyGbt38ni4kXfSnpCiiqYZE2ULiYhj1oY5hHCbyvpO5bOtJ2_DfNi1oEjdXaMc9aOxmqY9MQw8Blc5Gh0wAX0/s1600/Rocket_006.jpeg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

This version of the Z1000 in metallic black (finished by Experience Colors) takes the &quot;muscle-retro&quot; aesthetic to a level of absolute aggression. Don&#39;t be fooled by the tank&#39;s 1970s lines: beneath the surface beats a modern and muscular heart. The chassis is pure street-fighter.
The undisputed highlight is the rear end. RF-Biketech has installed its own single-sided swingarm with an integrated sprocket shaft system—a refined technical solution necessary to accommodate a massive 300 mm rear tire mounted on an 18-inch spoked rim. Despite the imposing dimensions, the builder claims that agility is guaranteed by a Wilbers central monoshock and massive ZF inverted forks, held in place by CNC-machined triple clamps.
The legendary Japanese four-cylinder engine hasn&#39;t just been polished; it has been completely rebuilt. It now boasts a displacement of 1075 cc thanks to REC pistons, fed by a bank of Mikuni RS 34 carburetors with K&amp;amp;N pod filters. The RFB 4-in-1 exhaust system completes the build, promising a soundtrack that matches its performance.
Every inch of this bike has been redesigned:
•	Cockpit: A stunning set of polished aluminum retro instruments dominates the 850 mm Superbike handlebar.
•	Transparency: The clutch cover has been CNC-machined and fitted with a clear window, allowing a glimpse of the mechanical heart in motion.
•	Lighting: Up front, there’s an LED headlight with an &quot;Invisible&quot; mount, while the rear is kept clean thanks to the RFB conversion kit with integrated dual lights.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;This Z1000 blends the timeless 1970s aesthetic with extreme German engineering. It will certainly make many purists turn up their noses, but it will also turn many heads in curiosity and admiration.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;L&#39;oscura evoluzione di una Kawa Z1000... C’è qualcosa di magnetico nelle &quot;Z&quot; classiche di Kawasaki, specialmente quando finiscono tra le mani dei maghi tedeschi di RF-Biketech. Questa versione della Z1000 in nero metallizzato (curata da Experience Colors) porta l&#39;estetica &quot;muscle-retro&quot; a un livello di cattiveria assoluta. Non lasciatevi ingannare dalle linee anni ‘70 del serbatoio: sotto la pelle batte un cuore moderno e muscoloso. La ciclistica è da street-fighter.
Il pezzo forte è indubbiamente il retrotreno. RF-Biketech ha installato il proprio forcellone monobraccio con sistema a pignone integrato, una soluzione tecnica raffinata necessaria per ospitare una gomma posteriore da ben 300 mm montata su un cerchio a raggi da 18 pollici. Nonostante le dimensioni imponenti, il costruttore dichiara che l’agilità è garantita da un monoammortizzatore centrale Wilbers e da una massiccia forcella a steli rovesciati ZF, abbracciata da piastre di sterzo ricavate dal pieno.
Il leggendario quattro cilindri giapponese non è stato solo lucidato, ma completamente rigenerato. Ora vanta una cilindrata di 1075 cc grazie ai pistoni REC, alimentati da una batteria di carburatori Mikuni RS 34 con filtri a cono K&amp;amp;N. Lo scarico 4-in-1 firmato RFB completa l&#39;opera, promettendo una colonna sonora all&#39;altezza delle prestazioni.
Ogni centimetro di questa moto è stato ripensato:
Cockpit: Uno splendido set di strumenti retro in alluminio lucidato domina il manubrio Superbike da 850 mm.
Trasparenze: Il coperchio della frizione è stato lavorato al CNC e dotato di un oblò trasparente, permettendo di spiare il cuore meccanico in movimento.
Luci: All&#39;anteriore troviamo un faro LED con supporto &quot;Invisible&quot;, mentre il posteriore è pulito grazie al kit di conversione RFB con doppie luci integrate.
Questa Z1000 coniuga l&#39;estetica intramontabile degli anni &#39;70 con l&#39;ingegneria tedesca più estrema.
