Nitrocycles, managed by the Testillano brothers, has been dominating the custom motorcycle scene since 2014. Operating from Madrid, Spain, their projects have garnered international attention for their meticulous craftsmanship.

Starting with a Suzuki GS850, Nitrocycles started on a comprehensive customization journey, stripping away the factory bodywork and components. They crafted a new subframe to achieve the classic cafe racer silhouette, complemented by Hagon Nitro shocks and a custom tail section.

Innovative touches abound, with LED turn signals seamlessly integrated and a bespoke leather saddle adding a touch of luxury. The transformation continued with the adaptation of a Honda CB750F fuel tank, expertly fitted to the GS850 frame for a cohesive look.

In the cockpit, clip-on handlebars and minimalist controls enhance the riding experience, while a sleek aftermarket dial provides essential instrumentation. The front end received a new headlamp and mounting hardware, resulting in a clean and cohesive design.

Under the hood, Nitrocycles performed a full rebuild of the inline-four motor, enhancing performance with premium air filters and a custom exhaust system. Inspired by the iconic John Player Special F1 livery, the color scheme of black and gold exudes timeless elegance.
