Beijing-based workshop Bandit9
is pretty serious about its motorcycles. Following up on the Nero model
released last year, the company has lifted the garage doors for a sleek
upgrade onto the streets. Beautifully finished with a matte black
paint, the bike features a custom-fit gas tank, handlebars, fork and
footpegs, all of which are completely exposed to reinforce the raw,
utilitarian aesthetic. Interested parties will want to submit their
requests sooner rather than later, as the roaring machine is limited to
nine models worldwide. Check out the Nero MKII on Bandit9′s website now.
One of the most attractive parts of riding a motorcycle is standing out
from the pack of minivans, subcompacts, and SUVs that dominate the roads
— you want to look original, different, independent. And you'd be
hard-pressed to find anything on two wheels that looks as distinct as
the Bandit9 Nero MKII Motorcycle
($TBA). This completely custom ride is one of just nine models
available, and looks so unique most people won't even understand what
they're seeing. With a custom gas tank, rear cowl, handlebars, fork, and
foot pegs, as well as the curved dual exhausts, exposed suspension, and
completely matte black paint job, you're definitely bound to turn a few
heads (and get a few jealous stares).

Is this a flat-black URAL, or a flat-black CHIANG-JIANG? Either way, it's pretty uninspiring. Though it piques my curiosity as to what kind of paints are appropriate for the entire bike from rims and rotors through to the frame and engine. Or were they able to colour match powder-coat with engine enamel and two-pack lacquer etc? I'd hazard a guess that it's the same hardware store BBQ paint from stem to stern.....
