Royal Enfields are one of the popular motorcycles chosen by people who love to modify their rides. We have seen various examples of extremely good looking modified Royal Enfield motorcycles. Here we have one such beautifully customised Royal Enfield motorcycle which is known as Merlin. It is made by Bandit9 Motors which is a Vietnam based custom house. To buy this bike, you’ve got to visit their website and deal directly with them.
The Merlin is heavily customised motorcycle which is based around a Royal Enfield 500-cc unit construction engine. The bike has completely redesigned and looks nothing like a regular Royal Enfield. The design of Merlin is inspired from luxury timepieces and has a mirror finish to it.
