As a disciple of famous Swiss-Italian master designer Franco Sbarro, French designer Ludovic Lazareth now focuses his talents on the creation of prototypes and the manufacture of upscale, bespoke cars and motorcycles. Many of his over-the-top creations can be seen in European action films, but this Sporster 1200 is the first Harley Davidson the inventive builder set out to customize an American motorcycle.
Considered a quick build when compared to some of the more elaborate machines this builder is famous for producing, this Sporty borrows a number of styling cues from a previous build, a Hybrid V12-powered hot rod (pictured here).
The Sportster was entirely built in the Lazareth workshop, using a selection of components sourced from European suppliers. The front end is from Italy, as is the rear wheel that’s mounted to a purpose-built single-sided swingarm. Brakes are from Brembo and TFX Suspension Technology provided the hidden shock absorber.
Other accessories such as controls are from Rizoma and the balloon tires are from Avon. Hand controls are inverted and use a brake master cylinder that’s hidden in the handle bars.
The intricate exhaust headers were made by Ludovic Lazareth, and are connected to a pair of street-legal mufflers.
Lazareth says this motorcycle is legal for use in Europe and is taking orders now.
