Intermot in Cologne, Germany (October 3-7) is a leading international exhibition of everything on 2 wheels. motorised two-wheelers. With the addition in 1016 of Intermot Customized, a custom bike show competition within the trade fair, each year Intermot promotes its show via a custom bike displayed in various events around Europe.
The 2017 custom bike is a Yamaha XV950R drag-style bike converted by Marcus Walz in only two months. After being stripped down, trimmed back and tuned by Walz, the original machine received a completely redesigned “drag-style” tail section created from only one sheet of steel and a one-off gas tank. SC-Project created a very lightweight titanium custom exhaust system. Touratech Suspension created unique shock absorbers and German suspension experts Wilbers was responsible for the custom front forks. Original engine was reworked and went from 60 to 70 hp.
I wholeheartedly disagree.
