Crixus by Ruleshaker





At Inazuma Cafe we rarely feature twice the same bike. In this case, we make an exception for this beautiful 1992 CB750 Seven Fifty built by Iban Domingo (the Ruleshaker) in Biarritz, already shot in Verona during the 2014 Bike Expo. We have at least two good reasons for doing it: 1) Iban is a good friend of Inazuma; 2) this excellent photoshoot, which you'll be able to admire on Rad Motorcycle Magazine and borrowed by LSR Bikes gives a much better idea of this cafe racer. If you are curios to know more about the name Crixos given to the bike, I'm afraid you'll have to visit our previous post or read the rest of this one.
















Crixus (whose name means "one with curly hair" in Gaulish) was a Gallic gladiator who, in 73 B.C., along with the Thracian Spartacus, led the slave revolt of the gladiators escaping from the training school of Lentulus Batiatusin Capua. One year later he was killed during a battle against the Romans near the Mount Garganus. Iban chose his name for this bike which incorporates the spirit of the Gladiator.
