UJMs make for some of the most versatile two-wheeled machines out there. Indeed, you could even say they were the neo-retro bikes back when neo-retro bikes didn’t really exist yet. I’m talking about bikes like the Honda CB400 Super Four, or the Kawasaki Zephyr 900. Nowadays, UJMs make for excellent custom platforms, and can become real head-turners. Take, for example, this gorgeous custom Suzuki GSX1400 from Purpose Built Moto in Australia.
The bike in question is a 2008 Suzuki GSX1400 that Luke, a custom bike aficionado, is the proud owner of. Luke had previously collaborated with Purpose Built Moto on his CBX1000 cafe racer, and after being pleased with their work, he opted to avail of their services once more—this time, for the GSX1400. The project initially focused only on aesthetic improvements, minor engine performance changes, and improved handling. Clearly, the finished product went a step further with pretty much a ground-up rebuild taking place.
