Custom motorcycles are cool for a whole number of reasons. For one, they’re all about self-expression—rolling pieces of art that blend craftsmanship, performance, and attitude. It doesn’t really matter if it’s a café racer crafted from a Triumph Thruxton, a retro-inspired roadster like the Royal Enfield Interceptor, or a high-performance naked bike decked out with go-fast bolt-ons, custom builds push the boundaries of style and engineering.
But what about scooters? Sure, custom scooters exist, but I’m sure you’ve never seen one quite like this.
Enter Ortolani Customs, a custom workshop based in France. The folks over at Ortolani wanted to push the boundaries of what scooters are capable of. And I think they did just that, at least from a styling perspective. They recently showcased a jaw-dropping take on the 2024 Yamaha TMAX Tech MAX. Dubbed the TMAX XX, this one-of-one machine isn’t just a lightly modified scooter—it’s a full-blown, track-inspired scooter that’s so wild, even Yamaha Motor itself shared it on its official Facebook page.
