Making a single superb custom motorcycle is quite a
feat. But making two excellent examples, let alone a pair that are exactly the
same in every way is another endeavor entirely. But that’s exactly what the
folks at Wrench Kings have managed to do with their Yamaha XV1000s ‘Bertus
& Brutus.’
Found collecting dust in the back of FortaMoto’s
shop, these bikes were made identical to one another. And that might not seem
that impressive until you consider what that entails. These bikes each have a
Benelli tank that seamlessly transitions to the seat, thanks to the custom work
of master blacksmith, Marcel van der Stelt.
They were also stripped down and
equipped with new subframes, forks from a pair of Suzuki GSX-R 1000s, new
specially spoked front wheels, clip on bars, open air filters… the list just
goes on and on. Finished in a stunning combination of black and gold, these bad
boys are two of a kind.
