The Tattoo Moto 'Vampire Slayer' is a minimalist motorcycle that takes design elements from classic cafe racers. Tattoo Moto is a custom motorcycle shop based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and is best known for its industrially inspired bikes. The Vampire Slayer follows these industrial elements, but separates itself with a gorgeous minimalist design that strips the bike of any features unnecessary in a cafe racer.
The Tattoo Moto Vampire Slayer was based off the Suzuki GN400 cafe racer and utilized the simple frame to create an attention-grabbing bike. The team at Tattoo Moto stripped the GN down to its core and reassembled the bike to accentuate clean lines and simplistic construction. There are not extra parts for aesthetic purposes, instead, the bike utilizes all practical features in a visually appealing way and is an example of simple elegance.
