For many, custom rhymes with Harley, a big machine to ride cushy and big twin with stifled power. This stereotype (not totally false) will soon give way to a new trend: the custom-dragster. This translates into debauchery of displacement and aggressive mouth, as evidenced by the recent and surprising Harley V-rod, Yamaha road star warrior and Honda VTX 1800.. Skeptical? Take a closer look at this Meanstreak. Imposing twin, huge exhausts, inverted fork (as on the R1 and other CBRs), hard braking with 6-piston calipers and 320 mm disc, and a black paint that could not be more rebellious. This Kawa, she smells of powder. The mill is taken from the VN 1500 but here delivers 8 hp more, and still a significant torque of 12 mkg at 3000 rpm. Obviously, the manufacturer is giving itself the means to conquer a market which has never been successful. To do this, in addition to this concept which should still be emulated, the big Kawa benefits from the attention to detail and the finish..
