Kawasaki ER-6  Lotus C0-1 Bronco by Smoked Garage

.  

This motorcycle was custom and hand build over the course of three months by Smoked Garage which is one of Australia’s best Custom Motorcycle Builders.

With the release of the Lotus C-01 Concept, Smoked Garage decided to go ahead and build their own Kawasaki ER-6 Lotus C0-1 Bronco, and thanks to a member of the Australian Rugby League team, the Brisbane Broncos, he had the backing he needed to make it happen.

They purchased a Kawasaki ER6N, and retained most of the it's original wiring loom. A custom fuse box was made to sit beneath the seat for easy access and concealed in the front cowl and tail section are custom made LED lights. The bodywork, fuel tank and air box are all constructed of aluminium and features a custom stainless exhaust system with a belly mounted muffler exiting through the bodywork. To keep the raked front end under control a steering damper was  added.

The Smoked Garage version of the Lotus C0-1 may not be powered by a 175bhp KTM RC8R v-twin, but its 650cc ER6N inline four, produces a respectable 85bhp at 8500rpm.
