Great motorcycle mods result in both great design and daily rideability. Bali-based MalaMadre Motorcycles has done just that with a client built. The request had simple requirements: modern, light, and off-road capable. The MM Shark’s base bike was a humble but excellent 2017 KTM 450 EXC Six Days. Using a 3D design that translated well to a hand-built project. The Shark received a powder-coated frame, aluminum parts, hidden electricals, LED lights, a new exhaust, and gills in the tank that resemble the ocean predator. The minimalist bike looks purposeful, clean, and fun, and we’d have to say the client probably came out pretty happy with the results.
