To reflect this fact, the bike features the same exotic Brown Crocodile on its saddle, handlebar grips and tank straps – all handcrafted at the R.M. “There are 85 hand-held processes involved in each boot’s creation” In typical Blitz style, the battery is placed in a branded box under the seat, while the remaining loom has been wired by hand and connected to Blitz Motorcycles mini-switches mounted on vintage US Triumph handlebars.Īrguably the most eye-catching thing about the new collection is the unique scrambler boot that’s fashioned from brown crocodile leather and made to order for a cool £4,995. “Arguably the most eye-catching thing about the new collection is the unique scrambler boot that’s fashioned from brown crocodile leather and made to order for a cool £4,995”īut Blitz has also fitted 18-inch scrambler tyres, a salvaged 1970s scrambler tank and a bespoke rear loop, which was hand-welded to create the unique shape. The bike is built around a parallel twin 650cc engine, featuring a K&N air filter and re-jetted carburettors, which echoes those original Outback machines.

More specifically, these working men traded horse power for specially developed scramblers, which were stripped back to the barebones in order to improve reliability, decrease weight and eke every last drop of fuel from the tank. In the late 20th Century, Australian drovers swapped their horses for motorised transport in order to herd cattle across the vast and unforgiving Outback.
