After conquering Europe on the asphalt, Babylon continues to rack up accolades. This time, the prestigious international magazine Bike EXIF, considered one of the world’s leading publications in the custom motorcycle universe, has dedicated an extensive feature to the spectacular Harley-Davidson created by Lord Drake Kustoms.
The publication represents further international support for the work done by Fran Manen and the entire Lord Drake Kustoms team, consolidating Babylon as one of the most important custom motorcycles of 2026.
Recognition from one of the most influential media outlets in the custom world
Bike EXIF selects only a small number of motorcycles each year from the best international customizers. Its publications have become a benchmark for enthusiasts, manufacturers, and builders worldwide.
The fact that Babylon has been chosen to star in one of their articles represents an important recognition of the level of design, manufacturing and creativity developed by Lord Drake Kustoms.
In its report, Bike EXIF takes a comprehensive look at Fran Manen’s story, the workshop’s philosophy, and the Babylon creation process, highlighting the combination of classic elegance, technical innovation, and craftsmanship that characterizes this exclusive Harley-Davidson.
A motorcycle created to make history
Babylon was born with a very specific goal: to compete in the European H.O.G. Rally Custom Bike Show 2026 held in Cascais (Portugal).
What happened next exceeded all expectations.
The motorcycle won the three most important prizes of the championship:
- European Cruiser Champion
- People’s Choice
- Best of Show
With this historic triple win, Babylon was considered by both the jury and the public to be the best motorcycle of the event, also becoming one of the most photographed and admired custom motorcycles of the championship.
From a unique piece to an exclusive limited edition
The enormous international impact generated after its presentation, together with the extraordinary reception obtained among specialized media and clients from different countries, led Lord Drake Kustoms to make an unprecedented decision.
For the first time in the history of the workshop, Babylon will go from being a unique piece to becoming a worldwide limited edition of only 10 units, all of them handcrafted and made to order, maintaining exactly the same level of exclusivity and quality as the original motorcycle.
A new boost for the international projection of Lord Drake Kustoms
The publication in Bike EXIF confirms the growing international projection of Lord Drake Kustoms and once again places the name of Málaga among the main references in world custom motorcycling.
After the awards obtained in Cascais and the impact achieved in numerous specialized media, this new recognition demonstrates that the work developed by Fran Manen’s team continues to arouse admiration inside and outside of Europe.
For Lord Drake Kustoms, each motorcycle is a handcrafted work of art designed to thrill. Babylon was born to compete, ended up making history, and now it’s also featured in the pages of one of the most prestigious publications in the international custom motorcycle scene.
