This custom Suzuki GT380 motorcycle is a transportation solution that balances the best of both the past and the present for a final look that calls to mind what we could see in the future in terms of aesthetics. The bike was stripped down to its bare essentials before a series of 2D sketches were superimposed overtop in order to transform it into the motorcycle seen here. The motorcycle is thus outfitted with a series of components that add retro or modern touches including an aluminum fuel tank, HID headlamp, fiberglass bodywork and more.
The custom Suzuki GT380 motorcycle has been created by Sean Pelletier (The Motoworks) and Jeremy Lacy who put in six months of work to achieve the final product seen here.
