When we hear the name Mansory, we typically think of the German tuning firm known for their amazing packages for high end luxury vehicles from Bugatti, Ferrari, Aston Martin, and many others. Not once did we ever think that a motorcycle would fit into any part of Mansory’s lineup, so you can imagine our surprise when we came across the Mansory Zapico. The Zapico is Mansory’s first custom bike creation developed with bike customizer Thomas M. George.
George was responsible for the motorcycle itself, then Mansory moved in with the front mask, bug spoiler, seat module, primary shield, and silencer, as well as the applications on the fuel tank, the frame, fork, wheel rims, and airbox all being part of their contribution. Mansory was also responsible for the use of carbon, as is customary with them, and all of the leather work.
The Mansory Zapico is powered by a powerful 124 cubic inch (around 2,080 cm³) V2 engine made by the well-known American engine manufacturer, S&S. This engine produces 160 HP and, with the low curb weight of the motorcycle - it comes in at 340 kilos -, sprints the bike from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds.
We would have to say that the Mansory Zapico is extremely impressive, especially being the first motorcycle ever worked on by Mansory. Job well done!
