Heritage Reimagined - Retro-style motorcycles have recently become a rising trend on the streets of Indonesia, with the vintage aesthetic usually applied to modern automatic scooters. But what if a classic motorcycle is modified to look even older than its original era? That’s exactly what Yogyakarta-based custom builder Darizt Design achieved with their project, 2nd Attempt—a transformation of a 1985 Honda GL 100 into a machine that looks like it rolled straight out of the pre-World War II era.

The modifications are nothing short of extreme. The entire frame was rebuilt from scratch, with only the original Honda GL 100 engine retained. Even more impressive is that the work was completed using only basic tools and simple equipment. At a glance, the bike resembles an antique bicycle. The frame, handcrafted by Darizt Design, uses ¾-inch steel tubing. To eliminate the visual gap under the seat, the builder cleverly installed an oil filter to fill the space.

For added character, a small custom fuel tank is mounted within the central frame, paired with a bicycle-style seat. The rear end is completed with a custom exhaust, while both the front and rear wheels are fitted with 19-inch rims, amplifying its classic appeal. Thanks to Darizt Design’s creativity and craftsmanship, the 2nd Attempt has earned numerous championship titles in motorcycle contests across Indonesia—a testament to the timeless allure of true custom work.Kept spur your adrenaline on the power of two-wheeled monster and stay alive with the true safety riding.
