Motorcycles are an extension of one's personality
and where some prefer a sports bike, others opt for a naked roadster or an ADV.
However, there are a select few who believe in exclusivity and go the custom
route to personalise. A case is this modified Yamaha RX100 from Ornithopter
Moto Design.
The designer, Amol Khond - Owner of Ornithopter Moto
Design, has chosen a unique design for the Yamaha RX100, which is a mix of a
scrambler and a cafe racer. While the overall styling is that of a scrambler,
the clip-on bars lend the unique cafe racer look to the motorcycle. The
customizer has retained the stock 18-inch wire-spoke wheels on the RX100.
However, they are wrapped on knobby 100/80 section off-road biased tyres, which
should offer a lot of grip during trail riding.
The fuel tank has been redesigned to add knee
recesses for rider comfort manoeuvring through off-road sections. There are
chopped fenders at the front and back and a single-piece quilted leather seat.
The custom Yamaha RX100 scrambler has been stripped to the bones to make it
lightweight. The side panels have been removed, while K&N performance air
filter replaces the air-filter box.
The clip-on handlebars are designed and built
in-house by Ornithopter Moto Design. The fuel tank features a dual-tone yellow
and matte grey paint scheme, while the wheels, engine, exhaust and mudguards
receive black detailing. The custom Yamaha RX100 features an aftermarket
circular LED headlight According to Amol Khond, the whole work was finished
within 45 days.
