BW650 Motorcycle

You might have seen Daryl Dixon riding around your TV on a Classified Moto build. And like their Walking Dead Motorcycle, the company's BW650 is a stylized, sick, and even sexy beast.

Classified Moto makes no attempt at diplomacy when describing the BW650: "The goal was to build something to delight ourselves and infuriate armchair builders with its very presence." And also to make that something safe for aggressive riding both off and on the road. In addition to logging hours of tearing up the dunes at Pismo Beach and spraying gravel on backwoods trails, the bike has also drafted semis on the highway, and is 100% street legal.

  • Doner: 1996 Honda XR650L
  • Front End: 2014 Yamaha WR250R

Classified Moto considers the BW650 a Level 5 Commission, or the even holier than Holy Grail of their builds. That means it's rare they'll accept a Level 5 request for any bike--usually just 1 or 2 per year--and that it will cost you. At least $33,000, and probably more. Classified says they start at $33K and "end where they end."
