The outdoor and on-road living industry continues to thrive, welcoming numerous new entrants seeking to redefine adventure. Among these innovators is SylvanSport, a dynamic American manufacturer renowned for its outdoor gear and camper solutions.
Their latest offering, the GOAT (GO All-Terrain), builds upon the success of their popular GO model, promising even greater versatility and adventure capabilities.
SylvanSport’s reputation precedes them, particularly for those familiar with their commitment to quality and innovation in outdoor living products. The GOAT represents a natural evolution, catering to individuals seeking exploration and adventure in rugged environments.
Built upon a sturdy extruded aluminum chassis, the GOAT embodies strength and durability while remaining lightweight. With a payload capacity of up to 950 lbs (430 kg) and a ground clearance of 18 inches (46 cm), it stands ready to tackle any terrain.
Falken Wild Peak AT tires mounted on steel rims ensure reliable traction, while a spare tire provides added peace of mind.
The customization process began with a disassembled 1980 Honda CB650 acquired for a bargain price of 400 Euros. Despite significant challenges, including extensive rust and disrepair, Andreas Jonsson and Hakan Boqvist of Black Lanes were undeterred.
They embarked on a journey to transform the neglected motorcycle into a stunning custom creation.
The heart of the CB650 received a complete overhaul, with a sleek gloss-black powder coating applied to the exterior. Airflow improvements were made with aftermarket pod filters, while the exhaust system was upgraded with reverse megaphone mufflers and black thermal barrier coating.
The addition of a Yamaha XS400 fuel tank, modified to fit seamlessly onto the CB650 frame, transformed the bike’s appearance.
Every detail of the CB650 was meticulously considered, from the cross-braced handlebar to the vintage-inspired headlamp and minimalist cockpit design. The result is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and ingenuity, showcasing the seamless integration of Scandinavian design principles with motorcycle customization.
The customized CB650 by Black Lanes exemplifies the beauty of simplicity and elegance in motorcycle design. Through their meticulous attention to detail and innovative approach, Andreas Jonsson and Hakan Boqvist have created a custom motorcycle that not only turns heads but also captures the essence of Scandinavian design.
