2003 Yamaha XV1600 Chicano Custom *FLORIDA SHOW WINNER* – SN558

UK Registration: Applied For

We’ve really outdone ourselves obtaining this one.

What you’re looking at is a true one-of-a-kind showstopper—something incredibly rare, especially here in the UK. It’s unlikely you’ll come across another like it.

This beauty is built in the iconic Chicano style, a highly customised lowrider motorcycle style rooted in Chicano (Mexican-American) culture. If you’re unfamiliar, think of it as the two-wheeled counterpart to lowrider cars—dripping in detail, attitude, and culture.

What Makes a Chicano Motorcycle?

These bikes are more than just machines—they’re rolling pieces of art. Typically based on classic Harley-Davidsons like the Softail or Road King, they feature:

• Extended front forks and flowing fenders

• Whitewall tires on chrome spoke wheels

• Bold, metallic or candy custom paint—often with religious or cultural motifs

• Chrome everything—from the engine to the smallest accents

• Leather saddlebags, tassels, and fringe

• A low, stretched stance that screams lowrider heritage

Origins of the Style

Chicano bikes first emerged in California during the ‘70s and ‘80s, blending lowrider car culture, Cholo street style, and Mexican-American pride. It’s about more than the bike—it’s about identity, tradition, and artistic self-expression.

About This Bike

Built by Tom Lento from Punch Designs LLC, a well-known custom builder just minutes from our old neighbourhood in Cape Coral, Florida, this masterpiece features paintwork by Fred Shutrump—a renowned Florida-based artist with a reputation for jaw-dropping detail. (Check out his Instagram/Facebook—you’ll see what we mean.). The engine cut heads were painstakingly engraved by Dave Azzopardi.

Underneath all the custom work is a 2003 Yamaha XV1600 Roadstar, although you’d never guess. Every inch has been transformed to flow as one cohesive piece of art.

This bike also won the Leesburg Rats Hole Trophy not once but twice in a row!!

Highlights include:

• Custom 26″ Wright billet alloy front wheel with chrome spokes, with twisted fat non lip rims and brand-new whitewall

• Matching rear wheel with fresh whitewall

• Chrome everything: forks, 42″ handlebars, headlight, reservoirs, footboards, mirrors, air intake—the list goes on

• Custom-painted frame and engine with hand-engraving on both sides—an incredibly time-intensive touch

• One-off front and rear fenders and fuel tank

• Custom-made seat and pillion pad (yes, it can take a passenger!)

• Signature Chicano-style fishtail exhausts (Freedom Performance)—with a professionally installed flame kit (yes, it shoots flames!)

In short, this is the real deal. A bike built by pros, with head-turning style that would stand out even at Daytona Bike Week—and over here in the UK? Prepare to cause a stir wherever you ride.

Priced at £14,995, which we think is an absolute steal for a machine of this calibre.

Ready to ride this summer—and ready to blow minds.
