The guys at Krugger Motorcycles (Belgium) have received the 2010 AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building title in Sturgis thanks to their Veon project. Krugger's win in the Championship follows on from back-to-back third places in 2004 and 2005, a 13th place in 2008 and another third last year.

The bike features an unique electronically adjustable frame system and two sets of foot controls. Moreover, at the flick of a switch the V-Rod engined bike can be transformed from a low-riding cruiser with long rake to sport bike mode with a shorter wheelbase and steeper rake.

Krugger was followed in the Freestyle category by Thunder Struck Cycles who captured second with the Sniper project. The Indian Powerplus motor used in the bike has had the inlet and outlet ports reversed with the heads welded and machined to allow the correct sized valves to be operated by the reverse grind cam.

For the first time in the Championship's history a builder from Belarus brought a bike to Sturgis and managed to earn third place. Yuri Shif took inspiration from German '30s race cars for the styling of his long, low bike and then took the German influence even further by joining two early BMW Boxer engines at the cranks. He then reversed the rear pair of heads to allow him to feed all four inlet ports via a supercharger.

Sergio Bayarri, of Sbay Motor Company claimed the win in the Production Manufacturer class with his race inspired Flying machine. The bike, which replicates Ducati geometry, has been developed and tested on European race track.
