Royal Enfield showcased two exclusive custom motorcycles — Vita and Carolina Reaper at the recently concluded 33rd Annual Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show 2025 (HCS2025), one of Japan’s largest custom motorcycle shows.
The Vita is crafted by Yuichi Yoshizawa and Yoshikazu Ueda of Custom Works Zon, a custom factory based in Shiga Prefecture. They have garnered numerous awards at custom shows worldwide.
Carolina Reaper is created by Cheetah Custom Cycles, led by Tokyo-based artist and custom motorcycle builder Toshiyuki Osawa. The custom-build was showcased alongside multiple flat track motorcycles.
The Vita is built on the Royal Enfield Classic 650. The 650 twin-engine along with the transmission system proved to be the perfect canvas for this build. The engine package is mounted within a fully bespoke hard-tail steel frame, paired with bespoke classical girder fork and striking 26-inch modern wheels, achieving a dynamic fusion of old-school character and contemporary performance. The body incorporates mahogany wood elements and unpainted aluminum, creating a powerful visual synergy between metal and natural texture.
The Carolina Reaper is based on the Guerrilla 450. Its design vision merges retro as well as modern, and pure-race performance with custom motorcycle artistry — inspired by the American flat track racers and race cars of the 1970s.
