Deus performed some moto magic and turned a chunky brute Harley XL 1200C sportster and transmogrified it into the rather bespoke XV-Twin 1200 café racer that still retains the iconic Harley V-Twin power, kinda like Conor McGregor in a fancy suit but minus the disorderly personality. The new form gets beautiful billet top clamps, perforated leather grips, single strip LED taillight, a custom tank, single vintage speedometer from Motogadget, a slick two-into-one Bassani exhaust, and the most perfect brown leather with orange contrast diamond-stitched seat. The sophisticated but muscular body also gets Colour Fuel paint with a classic racing numeral in what amounts to an excellent vintage racing final touch. Though visually, it might just be the best combination for that tough gentleman’s look, the sound and fury of the engine will eclipse all else when you fire it up on a quiet Saturday morning.
