Quality looking build. Too much black for my taste. I really like the pipe and the Ohlins forks look great! That tank is porn quality!!

This bike is killer, I followed his IG for awhile now. Now he needs to get that thing in the dirt and post some of those videos up

Been following this on Instagram from the start and its been enjoyable seeing it progress. Incredible attention to detail and an insane amount of skill has gone into the build.The handmade pipe, tank and kickstart are super impressive.

I find the graphics a bit underwhelming and a little plain. But then in some ways it suits it, a unique graphics kit for a unique build. I bet it rides awesome too.

Amazing the amount of craftsmanship that went into this bike. I’m actually not a huge fan of riding the AF bikes, but this thing has me really curious what it’s like on the track.

Thanks for posting.

Been excited for this one. Followed it for a long time now. Was cool to see how he made the pipe

Man if this thing had one of those billet smart carbs with that black incorporated that would look killer and run even better.

Still wondering how the power will be with that custom make pipe. I wonder if he based it off of measurements from a pipe he had or came up with his own stuff. The pipe/power has me intrigued

Looks like a supersized version of a high-rpm 250 pipe to me. Hard to say just by looking at it though.

I want to say he was basing it off an existing part. I remember reading about it in his Instagram posts but it’s been quite a while

There IG blew up when they release the photos. I happen to agree with the haters on the graphics, but the rest of the bike is fabulous.

Beautiful bike with so many nice pieces. Im not a fan of the graphics because I don’t like graphics that are a different color than the plastics, but thats a creative choice. Between all the big Ti pieces and the coated engine, I don’t know whats my favorite.

They probably wanted the graphics to look understated so that you notice all the other work that went into the bike.

Stock KX graphics would have looked much better.

I hope they don’t test it. If it’s underwhelming or a letdown I don’t want to know. Let me live in a world thinking that bike is faster than a 450.
