Destino Samurai, it's all about the ride

The beautiful Samurai Destino has been built by Australian motorcycle builders Destino Custom Garage. The Samurai took nine months to develop from the design stage to the glorious machine we see in this post. The unique motorcycle first released at the Sydney Motorcycle Expo 2011.

There’s so much detail on the Samurai but it has very clear intentions from the start and as quoted of Pipeburn, the Destino Samurai used the powerful 1,100 cc V-twin Yamaha engine. Subtle performance upgrades have taken an already strong engine & elevated it to a whole new level." Dark blue and gold always work well and with a matte finish on all the black work it just look stunning.

Another interesting feature that is a salute to its Japanese heritage is the fuel tank has been emblazoned with a genuine antique brass Tsuba (samurai sword hilt). Some other features include twin front discs and custom made pipes that look like they mean business.

The black exhaust pipes are stunning and I bet make one hell of a noise those the streets of Sydney. What I really love about this garage is the fast they only make four bikes like the Samurai each year and only sell them to clients that they want to.

"A true Japanese warrior has a strong & powerful centre of balance," says Nikki from Destino. "Slung low and mean… ready to pounce. We wanted to capture that in the bikes stance."

The front forks have been raked to achieve that look and the riding position is strong yet sleek. The bike might look like a hard tail but there is an internal mono shock suspension for added comfort.

This is a truely amazing outfit and has produced some of the finest custom motorcycles I’ve ever seen. Take five minutes to check out what else they have produced, you won't be disappointed.

Kept spur your adrenaline on the power of two-wheeled monster and stay alive with the true safety riding. God will forgive Your sins.... *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | PIPEBURN]
