Royal Enfield is gaining global popularity now ever more than it did before with the addition of products like the 650 twins and now the Meteor 350 to its lineup. Along with this, the brand also does not wish to lose focus on the custom game. The Continental GT 650 continues to draw the imagination of custom builders and so, Royal Enfield roped in Crazy Garage of South Korea to build a racer based on the Conti. And the result is sheer brilliance. (Source: Bikeexif)

Called the GT 650 RS is heavily modified into a race machine with styling that harks back to AMA superbikes of the 80s. Builder Kim Chi-hyun, the founder of Crazy Garage, kept an uprated engine as the core of this build. It’s full of S&S Cycle parts, including high compression pistons, a hot cam, and a heavy-duty clutch. Fueling is controlled by a Dynojet Power Commander with autotune, which also compensates for the airbox removal and the custom free-flowing exhaust system. (Source: Bikeexif)

It gets a quickshifter and the oil-cooler has been moved to the front of the bike, and plumbed in with race-spec lines. Crazy Garage have also removed the EVAP (evaporative emission canister) and pulse air valve, to keep the other plumbing to a bare minimum. The suspension’s been upgraded to Öhlins, with a one-off set of Custom 43 USD forks and a TTX shock. That shock is now attached to a single-sided swingarm, liberated from a 90s Honda VFR400R (NC30). The nine-liter fuel tank is now under the seat and the visible ‘tank’ is a custom piece made from thin-gauge steel. (Source: Bikeexif)

Since it is a race bike, the ABS has been removed. Braking is now handled by a complete Brembo system at the front, including an RCS master cylinder, calipers, and new rotors, all hooked up with new hoses from Swage-Line. Custom carbon ducts keep the discs cool under pressure. (Source: Bikeexif)

Kim installed the forks using modified Ducati triple trees, with custom bars, a STACK racing tacho, and a Yoshimura digital temperature meter completing the cockpit. A Lithium-ion battery supplies juice to the starter motor, the halogen headlight and LED tail lamp, plus what’s left of the wiring loom. (Source: Bikeexif)
