a few years ago giulio paz design exhibited the ‘diva’ custom bike at EICMA 2013, where he captured the imagination of several motorcycle enthusiasts. designed from the ground up, it starts with the strong image of the BMW boxer engine as a base, such like the stunning ‘nerboruta’ custom motorcycle and the power blue sinroja ‘R3’ café racer.

a high level of craftsmanship and styling enables giulio paz design’s ‘diva’ to be admired, but the elements of the chassis reveal that this bike is also made to ride. all of the electrics plus engine are strictly of series, for easy maintenance and maximum reliability. ergonomics are not sacrificed for style, with a riding position that is not extreme as it might first seem. it’s not a race bike, but a fast bike, built to enjoy the sense of freedom in riding and to satisfy the senses.
