After more than 20 years in the business, Marcus Walz has definitely become one of the most established customizers in the scene.
Born and bred nearby the Hockenheim circuit and with a past in Moto Cross racing (abruptly cut off by a serious accident), Mr.
Walz has since then moved on and managed to become one of the few real household names in the ‘custom community’, with a list of clients that includes the likes of Brad Pitt and Kimi Raikkonen and – especially – a consistent number of awesome masterpieces on two wheels, the most exclusive ones of which can cost you up to 100.
000 €.
We have recently introduced Mr.
Walz’s rendition of the Yamaha V-Max created for the Hyper Modified line, but now it’s time to go back to what he’s mostly known for: drag-racing inspired V-Twin cruisers, and here is the Softail Adrenaline.
So, let’s get this out of the way: this baby obviously doesn’t come cheap.
It is priced at almost 50.
000 €, but it is top notch quality we are talking about here.
Then again, to get yourself a heavily modified Softail you would need to spend almost that sort of cash anyway, thereby if you like extreme custom bikes and you can spend spend spend, this might just be the right bike for you.
It took three months to Marcus and his mate Michael Kroheck to come up with the ‘Adrenaline: the frame is a softail WHC that is very similar in size to the one of the Harley-Davidson Softail – meaning that it is not an extreme construction and can suit anyone, even those with are not too familiar with Marcus’s style – while the engine is a 1,650 cc RevTech Evolution with belt drive primary transmission.
Almost needless to say, the whole chassis is elegantly refined and includes upside down forks by Cipriani, and 18″ rims by Rodder fitted with a 130/60 tyre at the front and a 240/40 at the back.
The whole bodywork has been designed and made by Walz, while other parts such as brakes, handlebars, handles and footpegs are built in-house too.
Being this a hand-made matorcycle, it can be customized in many ways: saddles, mufflers, rims and even the fork can be modified according to the customers’ wishes, but only if they can spend spend spend.
Regardless, the Adrenaline is a proper piece of art.
