Nascafe Racer by Shaw Harley Davidson and Bell & Ross Revealed

The current world champions in modified Harley-Davidson motorcycles, Shaw Harley-Davidson in the UK, have once again proved their skills by creating a motorcycle that comes to represent their commitment to excellence. The company teamed up with watchmaker Bell & Ross and built the hereby Nascafe Racer.

“The Bell & Ross mission statement is that every detail has its purpose and function. This technical exactness is expressed through pure lines and timeless elegance and is one that has inspired and driven the Shaw Harley-Davidson team in the United Kingdom to design and build this one-off Custom motorcycle,” Shaw H-D say.

Inspired by the Bell & Ross BR01-94 Carbon Fiber Chronograph and based on the FXSTB Softail Night Train, the Nascafe Racer features a matte black paint, anodized frame and triple clamps.

The highlight of the project is an inlaid BR01-94 Carbon Fiber Chronograph in the tank, which serves as a race timer in addition to a normal timepiece. The team mounted the timepiece in a handcrafted centre console using a machined section of aluminium.

The Bell & Ross Harley-Davidson Nascafe Racer will be on display at motorcycle shows across Europe, including the upcoming Dublin International Motorcycle Show, St. Tropez Harley-Davidson Euro Festival and more.

"We wanted to mirror the Bell & Ross timepiece wherever we could on the motorcycle and to ensure that the essential piece was never compromised by superfluous design or items,” said Steve Willis, Shaw Harley-Davidson Sales Director and Head of the Speed & Custom design wing of the dealership.

“We were immediately excited by this project,” explains Bruno Belamich Designer and co-founder of Bell & Ross. “We identified with the values portrayed by Harley-Davidson, values that we share like the search for the extremes, adventure and precision.”
