„The Musket“ – An Aluminum Motorbike Masterpiece by Maxwell Hazan
Wer Liebe für außergewöhnlich ästhetisches Design motorisierter Fahrzeuge hat, sollte sich besser den Namen Maxwell Hazan merken. Der Motorrad-Designer entwirft in seinem Studio „Hazan Motorworks“ im kalifornischen Los Angeles nämlich die vermutlich dopesten Bikes des Planeten. Mit „The Musket“ lieferte der gute Mann nun allerdings sein absolutes Masterpiece ab. Außer Reifen, Rädern und Scheinwerfern wurden sämtliche Komponenten dieses Prachtstücks, nach den individuellen Vorstellungen des Designers per Hand gefertigt. „I wanted it to be finished like a steinway piano; just make sure you hang on when you twist the throttle.“ – so der Meister selbst. Direkt hier unten bekommt Ihr einige Impressionen des wahnsinnigen Bikes „The Musket“. Kuckt doch mal, Pure Dopeness:
Maxwell Hazan has achieved close to what can be considered perfection with ‘the musket’. As S two-time winner of pipeburn’s bike of the year award, he’s one of the few designers globally that could lay claim to the title of ‘world’s best’. The sophisticated engine was hand-carved from a block of wood, hand-case at a foundry and finally, hand-machined by aniket vardhan. The frame was built to accommodate the sheer size of the engine, both of which sit upon the huge set of ‘bf goodrich’ silvertown car tires. Hazan Motroworks employed its craft in ‘the musket’ so much that the tires, wheels and headlight were the only components purchased; every other piece was made by hand. Of course if nothing is pre-made,every part can be finished bespoke to how you imagine it – especially if that imagination is one of the motorcycling world’s most vivid.
