Anvil custom motorcycles are anything but your casual ride, and with most of them it's a matter of love or hate. The Selvatica, one of the Italian shop's latest creation is no different: it's either one goes "wow" or turns away in disgust, tertium non datur.
Well-known for the radical way they treat the bikes, Anvil endowed the Sevatica with a very sober and passive-aggressive nature: all unnecessary parts stripped down, all color removed, leaving behind a dark beast with shiny bare metal accents and the feeling that something really big is going to happen, for good or bad.

The 30-years old Honda CB750F was lowered and the area inside the subframe turned up almost completely empty, with this negative space creating a nice impression of hard-to-tame racing spirit. Seat, pegs, rear fender, filters and lights, they're all made in-house by Anvil and are a perfect match to the character of the bike.

Still, there is one thing which troubles a lot of guys: Anvil lowers the front end of the bikes, leaving the stock fork, and this leaves some inches of the legs well above the yoke. And this could mean very nasty injuries in case of a head-on crash. Or are Anvils made in such a way that they never crash?
