Icon 1000’s ‘Colonel Butterscotch’ is living proof that even a functional lump like Suzuki’s 1200 Bandit can be turned into an absolute work of art.
In truth this well-loved Bandit base bike has been much improved with the addition of parts from a whole host of other donor bikes.
There’s an aluminium swing arm from a ZRX1200, 16″ front and 17″ rear wheels from a VF1000R, and 45mm Daytona forks for starters.
When it comes to tyres the Portland, Oregon based outfit went British, opting to fit Avon’s very popular Roadrider cross-ply.
Currently available in more than 30 sizes, the Roadrider is one of the biggest selling tyres of it’s type in the UK, and with good reason too.
Avon have recently shared a video of The Colonel putting their Roadrider rubber through it’s paces, which you can check out below:
