IN PICS: Super sexy DESIGNER bikes in India!

Last updated on: July 2, 2012 10:00 IST


Akshai Varde had enough of serving food to people mid-air so he quit the boring job of a flight attendant in 2005 and started Vardenchi Motorcycles.

Today with a 25-people team, Varde now designs, fabricates, custom-builds and sells two-wheelers under the brand name Vardenchi.

We showcase 10 of his most stunning bikes. Enjoy the ride!

1. Infinity

The most elegant blend of a dazzling streamlined structure and jaw-dropping graphic paint job put together in the subtlest way that you may have ever seen.

Its angled yet comfortable rake along with the low-slung seat gives you a very grounded and stable ride for a long trip along the highway and also a fun thrilled ride through the twisties.

The forward controls with a practically wide set handle bar are a recipe for riding addiction. But the winner is when your Vardenchi Infinity passes bystanders like a bolt of lightening and roars like a beast.

2: Slayer

The swordfish inspired pointed fenders, very gothic flames, skull paint scheme and the sharp cut accessories make an onlooker fear Slayer, in an aspirational sort of way.

Slayer is the big brother of our elegant 'infinity' and hence shares the grounded and stable ride. It is louder and will make heads turn like never before. This mean machine will go perfectly with your tattoos and leather collar!

3. Turbo

For the bikers out there that don't want a dazzling chopper but instead a compact nimble and sportier custom job on the enfield. Vardenchi introduces the Daytona.

It's a blend of a tight riding position including the handle seat and foot controls, but still gives you the length enough for great straight line runs. Best built on the re-twin spark engine series and comes with sporty graphic jobs like the classic racing stripes.

4. Dragster

The latest addition to the stable of Vardenchi is the Dragster. True to its name it has the build style of a monster machine, ready to drag race a quarter mile.

The 300mm 18 rear tyre gives it the enormous appeal when seen from behind, while the 5" by 21" front tyre gives it a nimble handling in the front.

The headlamp on the Dragster is an innovative concept at Vardenchi. It has a halogen (white) for the high beam and a projector with HID set up for the low beam; together they are a great combination for the dark alleys or highway riding on a starry night.

The angel eye around the HID gives it the cool modern look like any high-end car lighting system.

The wheels are billet Aluminium CNC machined out to give the peripheral circular cut outs which add a very sporty appeal at standstill and a dynamic look while in motion.

Some of the other features that add the cherry on top are the triple function rear indicators, the bar end indicators and the matt black heat wrap on the short blast exhaust.

While the Dragster has a modern street and cruiser blends it is the white paint colour with classic racing stripes that give it 80s muscle feel.

5. SunBurn

The Sunburn is especially designed and built for Asia's biggest music festival Sunburn.

The detail and quality of design are beyond the imagination of most of us. But to own one is to have the sheer power to stop someone in their chain of thoughts when they set eyes on it.

The massive breadth of the 300mm rear tyre brings you upright automatically when exiting a turn. You almost don't need a parking stand!

What is really the most endearing part of having one of these in your collection is how it stops people in their tracks when they see it, never to forget this custom job, or its rider.

Comfort makes you want to just keep going on. While the overall size and dimensions of this custom motorcycle category are enough to dominate any other machine on the street, it is still not over the top and allows you to ride swiftly through traffic.

The Type II has all the elements of a spectacular custom motorcycle.
