Description

This one-off Desert Sled is a sensational ride that pairs raw parallel-twin character with thoughtful custom engineering. The 865cc air-cooled twin and twin carburettors give strong, lively performance and a rewarding exhaust note, while the quickshifter keeps changes crisp and immediate when you want to push on. The result is a motorcycle that feels both visceral and composed on the road.

Beyond the pace, the bike is immense fun day-to-day: oversized forks and wheels add presence and capability, and the flawless Gulf-inspired paintwork makes it turn heads. It’s a usable custom that invites you to ride rather than just admire, offering rare value for a bespoke build.
