An off-road addict’s street-legal Honda curb-jumper…
Jean Michel Lopez spends his weekends riding off-road in various disciplines: motocross, enduro, etc. Like many before him, he dreamed of putting his knobby-tired passion to the pavement:
“I ride motocross on the weekend and I wanted a motocross to go on the road.”
To realize that dream, he sought out “Bobber Fucker Motorcycles” of Lyon, France — aka BF Motorcycles — whose mission is as direct as their name:
“Ride different. Bobber, Scrambler, Café racer, Chopper builds from all bases.”
Jean Michel, a self-proclaimed KTM addict, decided on a Honda NX650 Dominator as the base for the build — a proven road-legal platform for any street/trail build. The result is a dead reliable, street-legal scrambler that takes every curb, ditch, staircase, and hooligan-heavy merriment that Jean Michel throws at it.
