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 styling of this custom Yamaha Rx100 is an amalgamation of a scrambler and a cafe racer.
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.
