in the Indonesian culture, told in the wayang story that kresna (the god Vishnu) can be transformed into brahala Sewu (thousand demons) when he got angry . if attacked from his hand Brahala sewu can reach the western and eastern parts of the universe, from the mouth to spew millions of flaming fire, or breath hot as hot lava that have a the Earth's core
Why do this on a bike ?
we have a lot of hope on this bike, as from first ideas, Kresna is the god who has the character quiet dignity. such as hand-made 600 cc bike is on electric stater, he have a calm voice. then brahala sewu, we expect 600 cc engine could be great, could rampage beating rivals in a variety of events.

Honda GL - 100cc
Is it for a costumer or for pleasure ?
from the beginning, this bike is a collaboration of two artists, just for our ego.
This bike belongs to M yusuf Adib mustofa, the artist who created this crazy machine with his hands, and have some collaborate with Daeng custom in body and paint, initially we do not sell this bike, but sooner or later we need money to build our dream in motorcycle world, maybe one day we will sell brahala sewu, and build the motor with the 5 cylinder (handmade) in the future haha
