In the world of custom motorcycles, there are builders, and then there are artists who craft two-wheeled masterpieces. Ronell “Blithe” Salvado together with Hilario Tabilon of RH Ubec Custom-Tuba Garage, has once again set the bar high with their latest creation, the Honda XL 125 Scrambler. This rugged yet elegant machine showcases a combination of artistry, engineering, and a passion for motorcycles that is nothing short of inspiring. Let's delve into the details of this remarkable build project.
It is indeed a Canvas of Customization, The heart of this Honda XL 125 Scrambler is the stunning custom-painted gas tank. The vintage-inspired design pays homage to the golden era of scramblers and classic muscle cars with those classic racing stripes. The tank's colors blend seamlessly into the rest of the bike, making it a true work of art.
It is Form Meets Function, The front fender and exhaust system on this Scrambler are both custom-made, a testament to Blithe’s and Hilario’s dedication to perfecting every aspect of their builds. The front fender adds a touch of rugged charm while ensuring that dirt and debris are kept at bay during off-road adventures. The custom-made exhaust system not only enhances the bike's performance but also emits a throaty growl that echoes through the trails. For riders who are serious about off-roading, the custom-made bash plate on this Honda XL 125 Scrambler is a godsend. Crafted to protect the engine and frame during those rough rides, it's both functional and stylish, showcasing Blithe’s and Hilario’s commitment to creating bikes that are as tough as they are beautiful.
The blacked-out frame and engine give this Scrambler a stealthy and powerful appearance. The dark and mysterious aesthetics not only exude an air of sophistication but also underline the bike's true nature—an off-road beast that's ready to conquer any terrain. The classic headlights and tail lights on this custom Honda XL 125 Scrambler evoke a sense of nostalgia while providing excellent visibility during night rides. The team has seamlessly integrated modern lighting technology into the design, ensuring that the bike is as safe as it is stylish. It also sports Low-profile turn signals which are a clever addition, maintaining the bike's clean lines and enhancing its minimalist design. These sleek indicators blend seamlessly into the overall aesthetic while ensuring safety on the road.
The bike also sports custom leather seats, featuring a beautiful diamond pattern, not only look inviting but also provide a comfortable ride. Crafted with precision and care, they are a testament to the team’s dedication to both aesthetics and functionality. One glance at the DURO dual sport tires, and it's evident that this Scrambler means business. Whether you're tackling rugged trails or cruising down the highway, these tires provide the grip and control needed for a thrilling and secure ride.
This Custom Scrambler project is a
tribute to the spirit of motorcycling, embodying the freedom of the open road
and the thrill of off-road adventures. This is not just a motorcycle, it's a
work of art that represents Blithe’s and Hilario’s passion, vision, and
commitment to creating unique and exceptional rides. “Thank you so much to all
of our friends and family who have supported us since day one. Thank you so
