“THAT’S WHAT I MEAN BY ‘EFFORTLESS’. WE LET THE BIKE DESIGN ITSELF”
ROYAL Enfield scored a winner with its new Brit-style 650 vertical twins, the Interceptor and Continental GT. The keenly-priced pair are attracting fans all around the world, including in Vietnam, home to Daryl Villanueva’s Bandit9 custom workshop in Ho Chi Minh City and his sublime take on a 650 GT which he has dubbed the Jaeger.
Bandit9 is best known for its EVE series of Honda Cub-powered pocket rockets, two of which we featured last year (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Design, Retrobike #38). An earlier version also starred in the recent exhibition at Queensland’s Gallery of Modern Art (page 88, this issue), on loan from the Haas Moto Museum in the US.
