Seems that Mark Savory from MotoCreations has been hard at work on a new custom Monster. As some of you might recall, Mark made some noise last year during the Ducati Monster Challenge with his chopped monster. (See previous posts, “American Chopper meets Italian Muscle” and “LBMC Show: Mark Savorys MotoCreations Ride” for more BG)
According to a post on the Speedzilla Forum, this new custom was inspired by the old vintage boardtrack racer section of the Barber Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham, Alabama.
“I wanted to capture the “essence” of the boardtrack racer but with three design criteria — 1) it must be more “art deco” in design; 2) it must be easily identifed as a “custom bike”; and 3) it must utilize a Ducati engine (old single cylinder racing engine).”
According to the post, Mark’s annoucing the bike ahead of schedule because, “a journalist stuck his head in my shop when I wasn’t there and took pictures last week — my latest project in baremetal will be gracing a UK magazine without my authorization here soon. So I wanted to post pictures of MY PROJECT before he does…”
You can read the whole announcement, here and as always, mad props to Mark for thinking up yet another one-of-a-kind retro wonder… Pretty frigg’n cool IMHO.
one of the coolest bikes i have every seen!!!! please make more like them.
I love this bike! reminds me a bit of the Confederate Wraith but better, simpler, more pure. Very cool. Should win plenty of awards for design. I haven’t been this impressed by a custom bike in a looooong time.
What would it take to be the owner?
