Deus Red Grinder
Have you ever seen a cleaner hardtail than this modified
Kawasaki W650 from Deus Ex Machina? Its not until you view the seat and rear
fender top that you really appreciate how ridiculously simplified this bike is.
Theres literally nothing extraneous anywhere on it, but Deus is still able to
hide surprise-and-delight touches like the speedo tucked in just in front of the
seat.
Even while being pared to the bare basics, the bike still has room for dramatic visual features like the swoopy exhaust pipes (this thing will be loud) and the fork-mounted mirror. Note how the chromed-spring in the girder front end is mirrored by the chrome seat-support springs, all contrasting the black frame and front-end.
Deus had planned some elegant, but fussy tank badges for the Red Grinder, but at the last minute discovered they didnt fit. We think thats a good thing, interrupting the clean, smooth lines of the tank would have unnecessarily complicated the look and interrupted long, easy caresses. Instead, these badges are destined for a Grievous Angel thats on its way to New York. Well flog it when it gets here.
