VROD 260 OCTOPUS

Harley-Davidson’s legendary V-Rod family has always been synonymous with power and cutting-edge design, but in the hands of Fran Manen, it has reached a new aesthetic dimension. The VROD 260 OCTOPUS is not just a motorcycle; it’s a statement on wheels that fuses high-performance engineering with the art of aggressive customization. With this new creation, Lord Drake Kustoms once again demonstrates why it is a global leader in motorcycle transformation, achieving a perfect balance between an imposing presence and undeniable sporty elegance.

BASED ON A VROD VRSCA

This stunning custom build takes as its starting point an original Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-Rod, the iconic model produced between 2002 and 2006 that broke the mold for the Milwaukee brand with its water-cooled Revolution engine. Keeping the heart of that beast, LDK has stripped the bike of its classic, stately early 2000s appearance—characterized by its disc wheels and chrome finishes—to give it a completely new, much more muscular and contemporary look, transforming an occasional touring bike into a true asphalt predator.

MODIFICATIONS

The engineering and modification work is extensive and detailed. The first thing that catches the eye is the imposing 260mm rear wheel, which gives this project its name and required a precise adaptation of the rear suspension. The original subframe has been replaced with a much shorter and more minimalist one, topped by a sharply designed single-seat tail section and a custom-made diamond-patterned seat.

At the front, a new lower fairing (spoiler) has been installed that hugs the radiator and a more modern-style headlight, while the flat handlebars and inverted mirrors under the controls visually clean up the top line of the bike.

WHITE AND ORANGE

The paintwork and finishing touches are the hallmark of the OCTOPUS. Abandoning the standard silver frame and chrome, Lord Drake Kustoms has opted for a total black (Black-Out) for the engine, frame, and exhaust system, which now boasts a short, aggressive design. Against this dark base, a vibrant white and orange color scheme stands out on the faux fuel tank and tail section, inspired by racing livery. Details such as the skull emblem on the side of the engine and the discreet LED turn signals complete a package where every screw has been meticulously checked to deliver a flawless aesthetic.

A true collector’s item

In short, the VROD 260 OCTOPUS is the perfect example of how a Harley-Davidson with over two decades of history can be transformed into a modern and radical collector’s item. Lord Drake Kustoms has managed to extract the sporty essence of the original V-Rod, enhancing it with an oversized tire and an aesthetic that leaves no one indifferent. If you’re looking for the ultimate blend of power and LDK’s exclusive design, the Octopus is undoubtedly the answer.
