Okay, allow us to start off with an unlikely declaration our long-term Classic 350 is so glorious in its red-and-chrome finery, we wouldn't change a thing. Not for nothing did the Classic and Royal Enfield win twice at our awards this year. Then again, 'fear' is not really a word that crosses the minds of custom-bike builders. Instead, they're likely to be words like 'bold', ‘imagination' and 'tradition'. More so, in this particular context that sees two Classics turned into veritable works of art- and this only the first pair, with more to come next month!
RAJPUTANA CUSTOM MOTORCYCLES: GAUR
Rajputana Custom Motorcycles needs no real introduction these days. Ever since founder Vijay Singh Ajairajpura built the Thunderbird 350-based 'Original Gangster' in 2010, the Jaipur-based outfit has become a force of two-wheeled creativity that's been matched by few and exceeded by none. An innate pride of Rajput heritage and tradition are on display with the Gaur, the name itself taken from the bison that roams Indian forests. The motorcycle, though, is far more ornate than its wild bovine namesake.
