Sultans of Sprint finals @ Intermot Customized !

Awesome times & tons of laughs in Cologne !

Intermot in Cologne hosted the Sultans of Sprint challenge 2016 finals and all the Sultans race bikes were presented on a dedicated area of 285 square meters in hall 10.1 “Intermot Customized”. This was a big chance for all the Sultans of Sprint racers to show their crazy fast machines in details and to share their passion with all the visitors of this very important show within the motorcycle industry.
Hand built with 100 wood pallets by Venom Design, Young Guns Speed Shop, St-Brooklyn Motorcycles & Lucky Cat Garage, the booth was enhanced by our friends from Mahr’s Brau who kindly supported by fresh beers. The Sultans of Sprint booth was also great thanks to our partner Instantané which printed great photos for our walls.

Just before the race sunday morning all the Sultans of Sprint were invited to Amadeus Speed Shop for a wonderful party in Cologne. Thumbs up to the Amadeus Speed Shop crew & Jens von JVB Motos for the organization & invitation ! This was a proper party for all the Sultans !

For safety reasons the Sultans of Sprint race on sunday was this time against the clock and not side by side. A new way of racing for the contenders but interesting to see how fast each of the racers gan go on 160 meters for this round …

This time Tommy from Schlachtwerk (GER) on his Yamaha “Skinny Beast” was the fastest just in front of Marco Zesiger from Young Guns Speed Shop (CH) on his Moto Guzzi “Ferdinand the Sparrow”. Seb Lorentz from Lucky Cat Garage (FR) and the BMW “Sprintbeemer” completed the podium with the third place.
Hero of the day Ludwig Asher struggled to start his BMW “L’Etonnante” despite the help of other contenders. He never gave up but did not manage to take the start this time.

FCR Original team (FR) with their “Crazy Bonnie” had to face some traction issue and did not manage to do better than eight position despite some really impressive starts ! Same situation for Radical Guzzi (GER) and their insane “NOSferatu” which suffered from their rear tyre grip to get a better result.

Scary factor award goes to Radical Guzzi !

Scary Factor online #fanboost was won by Young Guns Speed Shop but the swiss team decided to gave it to their friends from Radical Guzzi (GER) for their efforts to frighten the competitors on the starting grid with their insane Moto Guzzi “NOSferatu” :
That’s Sultants of Sprint fairplay spirit.

Young Guns Speed Shop winning the Sultans of Sprint 2016 !

Congratulations to the youngest rider for an awesome season !

Young Guns Speed Shop team from Switzerland did really well during the all year: clutch blown at Cafe Racer Festival in Monthléry (FR) but they got the #fanboost award for the “Crew Style”. Probably thanks to their hawaian shirts and smiles !
At Glemseck 101 in Leonberg (GER) in september, Marco was flying to the first place on “Ferdinand the Sparrow” which was back in the game and loaded with nitrous oxyde.
For the final round at Intermot in Cologne (GER), the swiss team was ready to battle again and Marco took really impressive starts allowing their Moto Guzzi to take the second place behind the always fast Yamaha “Skinny Beast” from Schlachtwerk (GER). The last round was giving double points to the participants and the 2016 Sultans of Sprint champion title and the pressure was at his maximum for the fastest team. Marco took it easy and kept cool to take the best out of the swiss bird !

Young Guns Speed Shop victory !

14264896_322182724791781_5370463427810955772_n

Glemseck 101 is the biggest motorcycle festival in Europe dedicated to sprint racing and cafe racer culture. It was clearly the ideal event to host the third round of the Sultans of Sprint 2016 Challenge.

The Sultans of Sprint party saturday night established the benchmark with more than 500 people enjoying the fabulous DJ set of our friends Jens & Jörn from Germany who were spinning vinyl records until sunday morning while Mahrs Brau offered Sultans of Sprint friends enough beers to keep everybody in the perfect mood to party ! All contenders had also the opportunity to celebrate the success & speed records of Hervé Libner & Nik Heer at the latest Bonneville speed week !
>> video coming soon 😉

The Sultans dragstrip riot started sunday with a spectacular race between two of the fastest racers: FCR Original Triumph “Crazy Bonnie” (FR) vs Schlachtwerk Yamaha “Skinny Beast” (GER). Thanks to a really good start Tommy managed to win with his green Yamaha TR1 but had then some issues with the clutch and was forced to abandon.

2016 Bonneville land speed record owner with the Libner Baloo Racing BMW “LSR 940B” (FR) Herve Libner had no chance to fix the clutch and get ready to race his turbocharged beemer for the 3rd round but he took his Harley Davidson 1200 XR with custom home made bodywork to take part.

Libner Baloo Racing "LSR940B" just landed from Bonneville Speed Week to Glemseck 101

First race has been tough for Radical Guzzi team (GER) and their Moto Guzzi “NOSferatu”. They faced some issues with their air shifter and struggled in the race against VTR Customs. Work and experience paid off for the VTR Customs team (CH) and their BMW supercharged & nitrous equipped “Polizia Uno”: Dani Weidmann did really well and managed to get the first podium for the team !

Congrats to our special guests Per from Wrenchmonkees who bravely took part with his tuned Kawasaki KZ 750 “Monkee Bastard” not really in the best configuration with its knobby tires … but Per pushed as much as possible against the super fast Moto Guzzi from Young Guns Speed Shop.

In the final Marco Zesiger on Young Guns Speed Shop ‘s Moto Guzzi “Ferdinand the Sparrow” (CH) battled against Seb Lorentz on Lucky Cat Garage ‘s BMW “Sprintbeemer” (FR). This time the bird was faster than the cat. The youngs from Switzerland are now leading the championship followed by Lucky Cat Garage and Schlachtwerk in second and third position.

Great Sultans of Sprint races in Monthléry !

Sultans of Sprint round #2 | Cafe Racer Festival 2016

Great races in Monthléry !

Cafe Racer Festival was hosting the second race of Sultans of Sprint 2016 championship.
The race has been organized as planned on saturday but rainy conditions and wet dragstrip forced to postpone the end of the races to sunday afternoon.
Our japanese guest Toshi from Switch Stance Riding on his Ducati “Royal Pantah” did well beating the Young Guns Speed Shop Moto Guzzi “Ferdinand The Sparrow” which was suffering from a slippery clutch. Great races from the brand new HD “Sprintster” from Venom Design, BMW “Flat Punisher” from Sooner or Later Garage, BMW sprinter from Krautmotors and “L’Etonnante” from St-Brooklyn Motorcycles.
VTR Customs always impressive BMW supercharged “Polizia Uno” was not able to fight properly with a broken belt just before the start. The Buell “Cherry Salt” from Plan B Motorcycles did OK but struggled against Rolf Reick & Sébastien Lorentz on their BMW airheads powered by Edelweiss Motorsport. Dirk Oehlerking had to fight against the fastest Yamaha TR1 on earth: Tommy Vomhinterrof was super fast again with the Schlachtwerk “Skinny Beast” followed by the FCR Original Triumph “Crazy Bonnie”.
Last but not least, the Libner-Baloo Racing team showed impressive take off with their turbocharged BMW “LSR 940B” even if this bike was firstly built to catch land speed records in Bonneville. Was great to see the beast running in Monthléry race track.

Sultans of Sprint round #2 | Cafe Racer Festival 2016 | race results:
