Video: Rossi’s helmet painter Aldo Drudi has moved to bikes – and he’s designed this!

Rossi’s helmet painter Aldo Drudi has moved to bikes – and he’s designed this!

So here’s Drudi’s first motorcycle – the Burasca 1200.

Made in collaboration with bike builders Air Garage and Honda Italia, the bike is – essentially – a Honda VFR1200F with Ohlins NIX 30 forks and TTX GP 36 rear shock.

The standard wheels have been swapped with lightweight aluminium units from Fast Mec and added to a full-on lightweight Arapovic exhaust system the bike tips the scales at a full 30kg less than standard.

The brakes also get an upgrade to Nissin monobloc radial calipers and various LED lighting touches around the headlight and fairing bulges.

What do you reckon, do you like what Drudi has done with the bike’s looks?

Here’s some video of the bike’s launch yesterday in Rimini, too:
