HIDE MOTORCYCLE

Hideya's simplistic and organic designs have also been displayed in European custom shows and have gained him a lot of popularity. Strengthening the performance back to its original state, and carefully constructing exquisite outer shells, he creates motorcycles that are without exaggeration and ornamentation. Custom designs based on newer Sportster models are also in the works, with the hopes of creating motorcycles with an even more enjoyable performance. It is this enjoyment that Hide Motorcycle has been pursuing ever since their establishment in 2003.
