This year’s Busted Knuckles Build-Off project has proven to be an exciting event as custom builds continue to capture the imagination of motorcyclists across the world. This year, in May, 2022, Royal Enfield Australia and New Zealand announced the People’s Choice winner in its 2022 Busted Knuckles Build-Off competition. Out of all five competitors in this year’s challenge, the Royale Motorcycles GT 650 Production Racer took home the award after receiving the most votes from the people. Royal wanted to turn its 650 GT into a functional race bike. Thus, weight reduction and geometry were top concerns. Out went the stock swingarm, and in came an aluminum unit sourced from a Honda CBR400. Weight reduction is important, but unsprang weight is a particular concern—so a lighter Kawasaki Ninja 400 rear wheel was also swapped into place.
