ROCK!

Trio of Honda CG125 based motorcycles; BLACK!; ROCK! & PUNK!

Artist Richard Hamilton wrote to the Smithsons in January
1957.

“Pop Art is: Popular, Low Cost, Transient, Expendable, Mass Produced,
Young, Witty, Sexy, Gimmicky, Glamourous & Big Business.”

We love this accurate synopsis and understand that the presentation of
ordinary objects as works of art should be tackled that way, there our
cheeky execution

As far as the bikes specs; the idea was to make them as light & simple as
possible shaving & getting rid off all the unnecessary bits, also
trying to get them as close as possible to the 80′s BMX craze that so
influential in our childhood.

About the creative process we must thank artists, JMKL’s design & Lanas Paint
Shop for the perfect reproduction of the desired combinations. Without
their constant dedication this project wouldn’t have been the same.

Gunnar's 2012 Z760

A bike of many contradictions; a modern 2012 donor with timeless lines, wearing fat race slicks and a tiny CB250 tank, but it all comes together as one of the prettiest and most desireble cafe customs we've seen for a while.
