As you can see, quite amazing stuff! the company Moto FGR s.r.o. claims the first prototype of naked bike for this engine will be build in 2010 (though I don't know who would be crazy enough to ride it!)

You can see more information about this amazing 6 valve Czech engine here.


Now for the coolest part of the exhibition (at least I thought so), the custom made bikes!



Even though this section was in the back of the exhibition and we had to go through a maze to find it, there were still quite a lot of people there. In all I would say there were about 70 to 100 custome made bikes or paint jobs.



First, there were some very cool custom paint jobs done. There were a few with flames but this bike on fire was the best of them!



But by far the best custom paint job on display was the Alien bike! Blue being my favorite color this bike definately one me over... hmm, maybe I should make a predator addition! lol





Next, the custom bikes. These are simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! Granted, many are not very practical, but beauty makes up for practicality. Most of them were choppers, and there was a row of Czech Hell's Angels custom made motorcycles as well. With all the chrome it was hard to take good pictures, but some did come out. I will leave the motorbikes to speak for themselves as they need no words!

















This bike below was my favorite, the air brushing on it was just amazing. And I LOVED the helmet! I want horns!!









This one below was Radek's personal favorite. He went back to look at it 5 times! I think he would have purchased it if we could have afforded it



All in all it was an amazing exhibition and a great start to the motorbiking season!
