Essenza – the essence of the motorcycle…
… the essence of the motorcycle, so called, a new class in the 1/8 mile race at Glemseck. Motorcycle manufacturers have committed to rebuild Customizer matching motorcycles for the race and the simultaneous customizing competition. There were only 3 specifications: 2 wheels, 2-cylinder – max. 1200cc. What came out were really beautiful, fast but also unusual motorcycles. In addition to the industry a few Customizer themselves had participated in this contest.
But it is not only the performance of the 1 / 8th mile but also the appearance. For victories in the race, there are points, but also the appearance is evaluated. Here you can participate you too. You can find more information on the homepage about Essenza. Who wants to watch the bikes again, may also do so at the Intermot in Cologne.
