Vesta, theInterceptor 650 Custom Cafe Twin At Wheels & Waves 2023 for the Busted Knuckles
We went to Wheels & Waves 2023, but not as simple tourists! In Biarritz we have in fact presented an official custom work and now we tell you everything!
The Mecca of the Special. Thus the link between the Custom Cultures motorcycle and the city of Biarritz, known for the waves that tease surfers from all over the world and for the Wheels & Waves, the most famous event in the world when it comes to one-offs on two wheels.
Born in 2012 from the passion for special motorcycles of a group of friends, the Wheels & Waves soon became a reference in the global sector panorama, attracting the most famous customizer in the world and arriving editions also in California and, since last year , in Italy.
Over the years the beaches of the French city have hosted the works of Custom genes such as Roland Sands, Go Takamine (Brat Style), Ola Stengard, El Solitario consecrating them to real stars of the custom culture. Now to the list of customizers who have received an invitation for this very important event we can join us too!
The landing at where and waves 2023 is another piece that is added to our path, above all because it was invited to invite us Royal Enfield, who commissioned us a special to be previewed during the transalpine event.
The only rule was to amaze, and dress - this is the name given to scrambler created on the basis Royal Enfield Interceptor -It did it great, given that at the work of India, the invitation for the Busted Knucckles Build-Off, the Expo dedicated to the 6 best specials in the world on the basis, arrived Royal Enfield, which was held at the Wheels & Waves 2023 within the Artrido event.
The motorbike
To reach such a milestone you can travel various roads: there are those who create extreme dragster, those who completely revolutionize the bike compared to its stock version, those who focus everything on the technique. We have not abandoned the path that we have been traveling for years and we have bet everything about the style: the result is Vesta, one scrambler with timeless charm and yet unique in its kind. We let ourselves be inspired by the motorcycles of regularity of the 70s, however, putting ourselves that touch of elegance that we like to think, now distinguishes us
The lines are very clean, thanks above all to two elements: the fiberglass pigtail created ad hoc for this bike with the white leather saddle and the choice of one Exhaust 2 in 1 high, the result of the collaboration between Cafe Twin and the producer aftermarket Mass Exhaust, that slender the lines of this one-off.
Tessellate wheels Heiderenau Ranger, handlebar Biltwell Cross, Bates optical group and chrome fenders - "borrowed" by one of the many Triumph That come and come from the workshop - they complete the vintage enduro look, which however maintains the Italian identity strong thanks to the choice of colors. The base is in fact a recreated octanium taking inspiration from the Italian cars of the 60s-70s, which enhances the two-tone details in yellow and red, a tribute to the eternal city and the Roman divinity of the fire that lent the name to this special.
Craftsmanship is an important element in this special: in addition to the tail and saddle, in fact, the pedal levers have also been made specifically for the Vesta, such as the flanks - one in hand -worked aluminum, the other with the bag of the collection Cafe Twin X Trip Machine- and the suction tromboncini obtained from full. And, to enhance romanticism, there is no lack of a real piece of workshop on this special: a bolt of the sign has been sacrificed to end the vice leverage knob. A way to say the least poetic to tie this bike to its native place.
There is not only the look on this scrambler: the coupled Exhaust-spiration, in fact, gives a dozen more horses to the Twin of Royal Enfield, the cycling has undergone a level evolution thanks to the adoption of pumping YSS fork and and bitu shock absorbers for the rear and the original front circle has been replaced with a 19 "element, capable of giving greater agility in off-road .
A radical transformation, but not irreversible that of ours Royal Enfield Interceptor: all the components are in fact Plug & Play And the bike could be brought back to its original state with a few hours of workshop.
