Tamarit Motorcycles has consistently pushed the boundaries of custom motorcycle design, and the Black Dragon is their latest masterpiece. This 160th build showcases their unparalleled ability to transform a standard motorcycle into a breathtaking work of art. The fusion of bobber and cafe racer elements creates a striking aesthetic that is both aggressive and refined.
With a meticulous overhaul that left few original components untouched, the Black Dragon is a testament to Tamarit’s unwavering commitment to crafting motorcycles that are as fascinating as they are functional. The heart of the transformation lies in the rear section, where a custom-fabricated swingarm, subframe, and monoshock system dramatically alter the bike’s profile.
The handcrafted leather seat and integrated LED lighting further enhance the Black Dragon’s distinctive character. It’s a motorcycle that not only commands attention but also embodies the spirit of individuality and the relentless pursuit of perfection that define Tamarit Motorcycles.
The Black Dragon’s metamorphosis extends beyond its striking silhouette. Beneath the surface, a substantial overhaul has transformed the motorcycle’s character. The factory hoop has been supplanted by a robust lenticular wheel, while a custom-fabricated fender seamlessly integrates into the swingarm.
Rider ergonomics and aesthetics are increased with meticulously crafted billet aluminum foot pegs incorporating drilled heel guards, strategically positioned near the swingarm pivot. A handmade electronics box, tucked away lower down, contributes to the bike’s streamlined profile.
Protection and functionality are enhanced by the integration of a Tamarit Hummer sump guard, sourced from the brand’s extensive aftermarket catalog. The fuel tank, adorned with a CNC-machined filler cap and distinctive Tamarit badges, is a canvas for a fascinating color scheme that will be revealed in due course.
However, the focal point of the motorcycle’s transformation undoubtedly lies in the aggressive cafe racer fairing gracing the front end. This aerodynamic masterpiece houses an advanced LED headlight equipped with adaptive gyroscopic technology, ensuring optimal illumination regardless of road inclination.
Completing the front-end ensemble is a custom-designed front fender, securely mounted above a laced aftermarket hoop. Both wheels are enveloped in vintage-inspired rubber, while wave-style brake rotors replace the stock units, providing enhanced stopping power. The amalgamation of these carefully selected components results in a motorcycle that is not only visually arresting but also mechanically refined, promising an exhilarating riding experience.
The Thruxton’s standard forks have undergone a comprehensive rebuild, featuring external springs for enhanced aesthetics. A custom-crafted upper triple clamp securely holds the forks in place, seamlessly integrating a Motogadget Motoscope Mini display and LED indicators for a minimalist yet informative instrument cluster.
The handlebar setup has been transformed with new clip-on handlebars, featuring bar-end turn signals and mirrors for a clean and aerodynamic profile. To complete the cockpit, the bike is adorned with understated billet switches from Motogadget, providing essential controls without compromising the design.
