Randy de Puniet's custom W650

Deus custom build Randy this clean Kawasaki W650

Tweet
Posted: 16 December 2011
by Robin Goodwin

MotoGP star Randy de Puniet commissioned Deus customs to build him a motorcycle for the streets of Sydney.

Randy's brief was for a middleweight, 2-up twin that would be light enough to slice through the city streets and have the power for blasts on the open road, and have orange, black and white for the paint.

Deus chose the Kawasaki W650, lowered it at both ends, fitted an SR500 tank, lobbed the old air box and added K&N filters, stuck on a custom 2-into-2 exhaust system and added low-profile fenders to finish off the clean and simple look.

So now Randy has another thing to make everyone jealous, along with his Playboy model girlfriend and Mercedes SLS AMG.

Via Deus customs

Deus, yes, crap old bikes, paying for image. Still, they seem to be cutting it, brave business venture and doing well it seems. So old Randy ended up banging Vickers hey? She actually rides track at ride days too you know.

Looks a lot more enticing than the horrible thing Kawasaki put up at the NEC show in 2011 which didn't know what it wanted or was meant to be.
