Marketed as “too rare to ride”, this is 1 of 2 Brabus 1300 R Masterpiece Editions in the country (this one in onyx black and the other in diamond white) and we got to spend a day shooting it at Uno Studios in Alexandria.
It has 132kW of power, 140 NM of torque and does 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, and it looks fucking badass in onyx black with carbon and frozen gold accents throughout. The first thing we thought of was Batman, then we gawked at the huge carbon fiber side fairings which add so much visual width to the bike, then we noticed the ugly side reflectors on the forks so we coyly asked if we could remove them and without hesitation BAM! They were off!
This beast was supplied by David Song, owner of Moto Machine, a motorcycle dealership with a Royal Enfield global store and service department in Clyde and an MV Agusta and Husqvarna showroom in Marrickville. We’ve only just met David, but we love him already. His energy is infectious so look out for an inevitable FIND YOUR ZEN Feature on David soon.
