Ballyhoo, a custom store in Atsugi, exhibited a custom MV Agusta Brutale 800 as a base for their 40th anniversary at a motorcycle show. The finished product is more like a living creature than a motorcycle!

Completed 3 weeks later in response to the owner's request to build something.
We found a Brutale 800 that just has a great impact. Ballyhoo of Atsugi displayed a custom at the Tokyo Motorcycle Show to commemorate the 40th anniversary of its opening. The Brutale 800, named ENNEA, which means 9 in Greek, will be the ninth in the Evolution Fish series.
The manta ray is playfully added to the deep-sea fish theme, and the projection extending forward from the tank looks somewhat like the wing-like pectoral fins of a manta ray.
Or perhaps the YZF-R1-inspired headlights represent the eyes of a manta ray. It is a work that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
The body is made entirely of carbon, and the sliders are made of tough carbon Kevlar for functionality. The seat rails were removed from the stock ones, and new ones were made of carbon, contributing to weight reduction. The safety parts are also installed properly, and the fact that the motorcycle is actually drivable is a double surprise.
Enea [BALLYHOO] This custom bike was designed and painted by Mr. Tetsuji Kawakami, a top FRP artist in Japan, all by himself.
The owner left it to Mr. Kawakami to make something for him.
A unique face design was created using the YZF-R1's LED headlight. The three yellow plate-like fins next to the light are blinkers, which emit light. The figure-eight ducts are also said to be functional.
The tail lamps also have three plate-shaped fins that all emit light. Rear blinkers were also installed on both sides. The growth of the license plate holder is also amazing.
The single-seat tail cowl is made of carbon. No frame is used. The rear area is shaped like an insect.
The side view of the tank, ducts, and side covers all in one is a powerful sight. The protrusion under the duct is a slider made of carbon Kevlar.
It is equipped with winglets under the handlebars and a foldable rearview mirror.
The organic shape of the under cowl also looks excellent for aerodynamics. The exhaust system is a one-off titanium product with beautifully intricate pipework.
The exhaust cover and frame cover almost hide the style of the Brutale 800. The production period was only three weeks, but it is a work of art that looks as if it took years to create.
