Dust Motorcycles 454 Ltd

  I’m always looking for builds that are just a little bit different.  There’s only so many times you can see another CB750 cafe racer.  Dust Motorcycles took a lowly Kawasaki 454 Ltd, the little cruiser with half a Ninja 900 engine, and took it up to something to lust after!  Just look at this thing, all badass and lovely, and looking almost nothing like a stocker.  The stance is much lower, and the flat black tank is a great touch.  Not so sure about the usefulness of the mirrors, and the license plate holder looks like an afterthought, but those are minor weaknesses.  Overall it’s a success, especially when you consider what they started with!
