This motorcycle was commissioned through renowned international firm Deus Ex Machina, which was founded in Australia and later established workshops around the world. Deus – a force in the modern custom motorcycle movement – drew inspiration from cafe racers, scramblers, bobbers, and traditional competition motorcycles. This W650-based build was extensively modified to create a distinctively vintage appearance and uses Kawasaki’s air-cooled parallel-twin as its foundation. The specification includes a frame conversion for a clean and minimal silhouette, front-brake conversion, and a Triumph fuel tank for authentic character. This custom W650, with its Kawasaki powertrain and purposeful retro architecture, is a compelling example from one of the most influential custom motorcycle firms in the contemporary genre.
