Unlike professional sports filled with rookie breakouts, the custom bike world is small at the top. Most noteworthy bikes come from established shops built by experienced hands.
Looking at this CBR you'd probably guess it came from the workbench of an industry veteran, but you'd be wrong.
Just eight months before building this rig, Andrew Hayman had never worked on a bike but had the itch to learn how. Approaching Felix Nguyen at Tek 9 Cycles for guidance and the 411 on custom bike building, he started with a clean slate and excelled to the top.
Now partners at Tek 9, you'd never know this was his first custom build-and we didn't either. Whether it's the one-off Bruce Fabrication exhaust and Roaring Toyz swingarm, or the Gordon Art crazy paint and RC Components wheels, this Honda is the real deal.
It just goes to show you what a little know-how and an appetite for knowledge will get you.
