Suzuki GN250 Cubus

Free Spirit Motorcycles is a workshop ran by Slavo Danko, in a small town in Slovakia. He has a job as a business strategist, but on his spare time he builds custom motorcycles with the help of his son. His latest masterpiece took almost four years to build, went through three different designs, and looks like nothing else out there. The mighty impressive Suzuki GN250 Cubus kept only the engine from the donor bike, the rest is all calped from elsewhere, redesigned or built from scratch. Slavo used a combination of old and new techniques to create the aluminum bodywork, by CNC-machining some parts and hand-forming others. Then he welded everything up, and ground away at the welds until the whole arrangement looked seamless. The end result is nothing short of spectacular.
