- A complete rundown of the latest KTM I have built for Max at Akin Moto in QLD, the complete write up will be at www.engineeredtoslide.com/blog check out it and all the other bikes I have built.
You mean to tell me that there isn't one motorcycle manufacturing engineer that doesn't have the creativity to come up with a sweet bike like that one WTF !!! Well done !!! Wish I had one too!
I think it will always be determined by how a bike would sell. Companies would make any bike you can imagine if it would sell like they want it too.
One of the nicest builds I’ve ever seen, what a great job you have done
Dude, my Father was doing this same thing in 75 to race and eventually killed on a Flat tracker in 09. He'll be in the new system. God Speed, and nice work.
Very encouraging comment on your dad 2 wheeler in the New system too🏁
I always think that a good custom bike should piss off a bunch of people. Judging from the comments here i'd say you did your job. Good work.
True Story
If only he'd let us see the finished product.
Don't care for his face, don't care for the youngen type camera holding. Be steady boy, period. No MTV shit
Just let us see the fuckin bike !
Remynator he did show us at the end
@@TypicalJacques Yep kinda. But I watched again, and found that at 7:14 mark, is a better view then at the end. My bad !
Lots of people hate my custom Diecycle
Much respect for machining new brackets to go right onto the old subframe mounts. I bet it made your life much easier.
That seriously is one of the bést and coolest bike's I've seen in a long time!! Fantastic work!
this was very satisfying to watch! such a sick end result! cant wait to see the RnineTE :D
We couldn't be more stoked on how the build turned out! Can't wait to terrorise the streets on this thing :)
Awesome to see this done in a real deal machine shop. And it's so refreshing to see so many people pissed off about "ruining such a good bike" HA. The thing looks incredible now.
This dude can wheelie! No clue how the tank would drain with those things on it, but very cool build and I love the workshop.
Cheers mate, still have the home shop and now also a bit of an upgrade too: www.etsfab.com/blog/workshop-fitout-the-story-so-far-update/ - Taz.
These guys really, really know how to work metal! Man... You can see how nice those curls of metal come out of that drill. Exactly the right speed of the drill etc. Everything they do they do it right. Compliments and what a great bike!
I wasn't sure about this build as it unfolded. But can admit, what an absolutely stunning looking build. I LOVE IT 😍😍😍😍 I would ride that every single day ❤❤❤❤❤ BEAUTIFUL 👍👍👍👍👍
I just want to throw in my opinion and say this is potentially the best thing i have ever seen. Would love to have seen some fly by videos. I am in the unfortunate position where i have the skills but none of the machinery to do these projects. I have a 2007 ktm 300 supermoto at the moment and would absolutely love to do this to it. I read your blog write up on your website and it was fantastic. I wondered how you managed to lower the forks so much and retain full function. Hats off to sir. Keep up the good work.
Here's an on-board video for you :) th-cam.com/video/ZTG_hm5XAlA/w-d-xo.html
The Engineering is second to none, outstanding work, And .... you can ride the thing properly 👌🏻
Personally for me @ 5:31 the bike/build was the sharpest. There was something about that old Honda tank left alone on it's new found body, dam sexy, raw, with a unique sense of power. A serious weapon on many fronts, would love to rip up the streets and run from the corps (corporate police) or take it to a local flat track race. That subframe is a work of art, what would that cost?
Freeman Reign yea I liked it more there too, awesome bike all around
Freeman Reign yea I wish that old Honda tank was left original.
True
I concur, the stock paint on the old Honda tank looked sweet.
That welding was an a-1 job. Nice and smooth
I love mx & mx bikes and what’s not to like? Any bike with that two stroke sound and smell gets my thumbs up
The sound of the motor will never Lie !
Modifying the stock frame, saved a lot of money. Be able to dial the modified frame, much better than a aftermarket chrome molly frame.
Very nice bike, great result
Very nice working place
with beautiful machines and tools
And a pro at work. Good video man!
That bar Handle is simple but dope.
So, so sweet. Matched by amazing editing and production. Nice Job on all counts!
Sick build. Really cool, every motocrosser would want this for the street.
Nobody realizes the way you built this bike that you can convert it back so easily, that's so dope! This is my favourite build on TH-cam, my only complaint is the video could have been longer, I didn't want the build to end! So many haters have no clue about the details, they're just jealous silly little twats!
I love MX bikes, specifically 2-strokes. Not a fan of streetbikes really. But this....beautiful. I want one, now
Now, if only KTM would put something this awesome together as a street bike.
I love flat track. As a teen, we would go to the Astrodome every year, and watch the weekend show. I’ve seen the likes of Kenny Roberts, Bart Markel, Jay Springsteen, and Mert Lawill race. One year, the hometown boy, Mike Gerald won it, and was televised on ABC Wide World of Sports. Yeah, I’m old.
Such Beautiful Work!! Thanks For Sharing!!!!
I love my kato. I think you done it justice the bike was built for a purpose .nice work
That two tone coupe is sick.
SUPER! Good looking and nice work.
If there isn't the bike you want on market, build one for yourself.
HELL YESSS!!! Great vision accomplished thru great engineering and craftsmanship.
I plan to make a scrambler with an air cooled two stroke. Mad inspiration
You have a really good eye for design. This came out great. I know this sounds kinda strange, BUT, I love to see the chips come out of both sides of the hole. Well ground drill bit. I know, weirdo.
Looks good, don't think I would have put those extensions on the tank, not like your going for long trips on it. Fun to watch, thanks for posting it up!
This was a well thought out presentation.Music and pace and contact superb.Well done.
I love the flat track styling on motorcycles!! The Harley XR's are still the coolest!! Fast too!
Harley is a joke and always will be, you silly twat!
La mejor conversion q eh visto... Respeto
I loved that video and the end result.
You'll probably get back to the fuel tank extenders and reshape the whole tank making it nicer.
But I think you should show us how the bike slides
Jump on the @akinmoto instagram and you'll see the bike in action ;)
Took me quite a while to figure you're not showing a honda build but I Finally just figured out you where modifying an old Honda tank lol.
Great bike, great clip, no tedious commentary and the music wasn't overdone, well done.
KTM make fantastic bikes that, especially their road models, are so eye wateringly ugly that I seriously couldn't own one, so anyone capable of making a kato actually look good is a genius and, with so much to be done, a bloody hard worker! One question, with all that steel fabrication, what the hell does the subframe, and finished bike, weigh?
That turned out so sick.
Very clever talented bloke.like it a lot...
Nice work, real handsome job !
Awesome project , you got you self a great bike
background BMW is sick as well
awesome build, i'm jealous. would be nice to have the price for such a job listed. Felt a little let down by the poor "riding" footage at the end, after that build/vid, needed some better action footage!
Love your stuff Nigel keep up the good work
Awesome build good job very nice bike
Dude! have loved the look of this bike ever since I first saw it. You should sell bolt on kits. Would pay big money to get my 2010 300 like this! Keep building though man, respect.
I've been thinking of making a kit after building my 300 into one of these
TOOOOOLLLLSS, nice build, nice area of operation!!
Beautiful job 👍 from France🇫🇷
Great work as always! That's a bad ass toy.
Very cool looking bike
Excelente trabajo, de lo mejor que vi en modificaciones, Saludos.
Sick build! Keep 'em coming! Dig the extended fuel tank.
I would have to change the Bars, and I know what I would have tried, I have just the fix, from a 1975 Yamaha MX400, they are 36" wide, or a real set of flat track bars, but then again maybe those new Tracker bends, but they need to be wide for the feel, it would really change it's character, kinda like the icing on the cake. AMAZING BIKE, BUILD, ART.
Wow . . . Just simply wow!
Awesome job, a really stunning job well done 🙌🙌🙌
talented well done mate
you have just given me an idea for my beta 390 🧐🤪
Liked and subscribed just with seeing the thumbnail, incredible project!
nice job! looks like genuine, very clean, i like your bike.! I hope you made more awesome bikes
To see.
Awesome work dude. beaut of machine , take that sweet sound to the streets!!
Very cool urban assault vehicle!
I love this bike
Very impressive work
Nicely done.
Cool work dude ... The are 1000s of KTM s out there no harm in someone customizing one here and there 👍
Nice work beautiful bike
good job, I suggest to put batteries for your headlights. nice one
Pretty sure that's what the box he Made and put under the seat was for, but then I noticed it flickering at an idol so maybe I was wrong
@@thewhiteeazye2728 that flickering light was also stoked, it was good to look at, specially when dark.. hehe. is this bike for sale, or sold already?
Its soo sick because its 2stroke
Like flat tracking bikes it's the Yamaha rd 350 a would turn in to one . Nice work dude
Absolutely stunning!
Love it
But that petrol tank ? 🤔
surely u have problems with fuel staying in the right hand side and not getting to the petcock ?
Wonderful bike .. wow.. hi from italy
I like your modifications, please ,
A) how many cm have you reduced the front shock amortisseur ,
B)and what is the size of the tire rims
Thanks
Great build! I kept thinking, what would a low pipe look like on that bike? I think it would be pretty badass!
My heart on of the most beautyfullest bikes on earth
Amazing, enjoyed the build. Simple sweet and DIY types. Thanks.
so sick mate
Very nice work bro
Congratulations, really you have doing a good job.
Muita qualidade e bom gosto!
This thing looks sweet, awesome job
I can see a lot of work went into this bike.....having raced flattrack on 2 strokes alot myself. A low pipe is the first thing to build,a heavy Honda streetbike gas tank would not be my first thought, nor would welding the back of the seat solid to frame out of steel,or a subframe out of steel,,,,,see steel is heavy,
Gotta think plastic and or carbon fiber. And then flattrackers dont have or need lights. I guess its mainly a styling excersize anyway.
That doesn't look like the avarage workshop u got there. I'm jealous 👍
Damn not only can this guy build a bitchn flat tracker but he can ride the wheels off it too
Just perfect custom
That's an awesome 300!!
very beautiful
Maybe put a flat plate on the front. But still a top bike
Looks good….but the sound is not Flat Track ! Just a thought. What does it weigh ? Thx 👍
Top Work. That would be awesome on the street..
Great build!
I spy with my eyes a super clean s13 coup hiding in the back ground @ 3:30
with silvia front end
Very cool. Flat! Clap clap clap!
Nice bike guys
Holy 2 stroke!, Bro i salute you nice build
Como se fala aqui no Brasil........quem sabe faz ao vivo......parabens por essa obra prima....
Sick job man!
