Michael Woolaway from California based Deus Ex Machina USA created for a customer the Deus TT800, a hand-built custom motorcycle paying tribute to the successful 60’s Triumph factory TT machines. As a matter of fact, engine is a Kawasaki W650 bored out to reach 800 cc with a CR carburetor cradled in a custom chromoly racing frame. Front suspension comes from Öhlins forks equipped with a Beringer six-piston caliper for quick stopping. For stability, rear was reinforced with a gusseted swingarm. A big surfboard-like seat with Kushitani waterproof leather offers business class level seating comfort. Paint goes from black in the shade to olive green in strong light. Deus Ex Machina.

Not a bad looking ride!
Like the looks and the lines. With the Ducati Scrambler coming down the pike in 2015, can see this market gather heat. I gather that this is also a very reliable engine and mod.
nice work, well done. I would want one.

Very clean bike with lots of good choices. I’d probably shield the Öhlins fork lowers for actual dirt riding. I’m surprised they gained 150cc.
Totally ride-able and totally cool looking…would be a fun bike, I’m sure. Hope this turns into a new niche
As cute as a button.
And with chain drive, kick-starter, and simple carb intake.
800cc in a small package.
A very well modified scooter in deed.
Be still my heart…. the spirit of the 60’s is alive and well……. 🙂
It must be said that a reasonable likeness could be undertaken by any with a mind to do so.
Which begs the question why don’t we see more of this?
It certainly can’t be an expensive undertaking and makes a hell of a starter-bike.

well said. Reminds me of my Bonneville but I can’t remember the name of the chick that came and went with it. So long ago.
Great package with the right look. That Kaw engine is a strong engine and should make for a fast bike! Very well done!
Good lookin’ scooter. Kinda reminds me of my 67 Triumph Tiger, only probably way more reliable.
No Lucas electrics, so can probably be ridden at night!
