The team of Texas-based\u00a0Revival Cycles\u00a0<\/strong>believes that the motorcycle should be more than a machine; it is an aesthetic expression that demonstrates the beauty of purposeful form. This firm belief has given shape to yet another fantastic makeover of the\u00a0retro styled\u00a0Ducati SportClassic<\/strong><\/a>. Revival Cycle’s founder Alan Stlurberg recollects receiving the motorcycle in their workshop ‘battered and bruised’.\u00a0\u201cThe owner is 6\u20195\u2033 and loved the bike, but wished it would fit his tall frame a bit better\u2014and of course, quit catching fire!\u201d – says\u00a0Alan Stlurberg.<\/p>\n

To begin with, the team created a\u00a0new subframe and seat, and began designing a stretched-out aluminium tank.\u00a0The new rear subframe is over 6 inch thinner than the previous seat and tail. The seat was moved back over 5 inch which works great for the owner.\u00a0The bike also features a\u00a0customized alloy tank, tail section, fenders, mounts, exhaust and much more. The wheels are Alpina carbon fiber with new Michelin Pilot racing wet-weather tires and\u00a0Discacciati<\/a> braking system from JC\/Pakbikes.\u00a0A custom ECU generates the maximum power from the engine and the bike has been rewired around a Motogadget M-unit. The suspension setup consists of a full \u00d6hlins<\/a> front and rear and custom triple trees. The charcoal grey body and the luxurious\u00a0brown leather saddle with matching handlebar grips compliment the powerful mechanism of this bike…A bike makeover with classic style\u00a0and modern performance!!<\/p>\n

\u201cI like to say the bike sounds like it is about to kick someone\u2019s ass in a bar fight,\u201d says Alan\u00a0Stlurberg, Founder of Revival Cycles. \u201cThe cops that pulled us over the other night for speeding said the same thing and let us off with a warning because they loved it so much.\u201d<\/p>\n
