As you take a look at this amazing bike, you're most likely a bit confused, as the headlight looks quite familiar. And you're right, as the Crane, for that's the name of this Scrambler, is the creation of the guys behind Portugal's Ton-up Garage, the makers of the Gold Digger Kawasaki.
The Crane got the same nickname as its owner: a tall guy who wanted a bike like no other. Even if the Triumph Scrambler was very new (2007) Ton-up has managed to bring in the retro style quite well. Painted engine covers match the silver fenders and in turn, the silver/golden brown tank.
Since a Scrambler has to be as good on asphalt as it is on unsealed roads, new inverted 43mm forks and gas-charged adjustable rear shocks came in place, offering better springing for the Conti TKC80 knobbies.
The seat was made in-house and sits on a re-worked subframe and its brown color is also a great match with the rest of the bike, and even the grips.
The custom exhaust is by far the most striking element of this awesome build. It was made by Ton-up from countless parts and blends together the straight lines of the scrambler design and the aggressive off-road 2-in-1 silencer, all in shiny polished metal. The massive heat shield is also covering a portion of wrapping around the pipes and makes things look even meaner.
Both the seat and the killer exhaust are available in the Ton-up custom shop. If the Portuguese customizers keep on making such amazing bikes we'll soon be in trouble to point the favorite one. We saw this one on Pipeburn.
