THIS is the Future | Building The SLABSHOT GSX-R1000 

A testament to purity in motorcycles from the finest era. We need this now more than ever. The world is falling apart all around us and we need a renaissance in every aspect of our culture. This motorcycle is a sort of torch lighting the way back. Just beautiful.

Possibly the best looking bike I've ever seen.

The flat tanks on the old Yamahas were brilliant for carrying a case of beer between your arms on the last mile home

This looks absolutely great. I hope some of the manufacturers get inspired by customs like this and create more retro bikes, or at least offer liveries like this one on their modern bikes.

Perfect blend of retro with modern components & performance. Can’t imagine how many hours went into this

90's bikes are still the best looking. This bike is best of both worlds 👍🏼😊

Beautiful bike! Hats off to the builder!

I’m with you Chris this type of build is the best kind of sport bike we need out there, modern equipment packed into a true retro bodywork.

I'd been watching this for 15 mins before I realised his head is tattooed, that's how much I was staring at the bike!!

Just beautiful. As you said, this is absolutely what I'd love to be seeing for bikes. It looks so clean and well designed.

Love you guys Boothy, Al and Chris!!!

Absolutely stunning, an aesthetic masterpiece & ode to the best of the 90's sportbike style. Better looking than anything coming out today.

Wow! That's a gorgeous bike. 😍

Straight back to the 90s where everyone painted their bikes and wanted to stand out from the crowd and emulate racing heroes 👍🏻 love it so much

He seems like such a cool down to earth guy! All the best for him!

Looks great, but doesn’t have mirrors, lights, rego plates etc, which is half the reason it looks so smooth. So as it stands, it’s either a track bike or display bike.

That really is a magnificent thing. Thoughtful and perfectly executed.

Looks amazing! Can't wait to see it in action on the track. Those paint jobs has to come back in style for sure.

I had a purple 93 GSXR 750 so I remember that in your face no bs vibe you got from these styles of artwork. Especially the GSXR logo on that 93 gixxer was something else.

I've been saying for over a decade how all I want in my life is a modern bike with the 90's Japanese motorcycle aesthetic and I'm happy the industry is finally listening. I got to see the XSR900 GP up close here in Japan and I loved everything about it and seriously considering buying it. If the big four were to release a 400cc 4-cylinder in this 90s style, I will buy it in a heartbeat!!

Wow is not enough….that is one of the most gorgeous bikes I’ve seen in years….a GIxer with Tiger stripes…and a proper bare ally Harris inspired frame …. And the different colour wheels.., which it took me 5 mins to actually realise….100% Jizz machine 👍👌🇮🇲

Wow that is an absolutely gorgeous bike, classic 80’s Styx at its best, nice work

you are right this is exactly what me and alot of other people want. retro sport bike with retro seats but modern reliability and decent power i have 3 old cbr600s and i love them but its alot of work to keep them going as they get old

Absolutely stunning piece of engineering and a great interview with its creator! More please!

Saw this at the Bike shed show last year.. One of the best examples of restomod there is. Stunning.

Followed Mark since last year's bike shed, seems like a top guy. Great to see this pop up this morning, stunning bike and really interesting

Wow! Stunning. 😍

I love that you gave him the chance to discuss this bike. I cam across his gram a month or so before he posted he was working with you. Just beautiful craftsmanship and I look forward to his future projects. Let's hope this pushes the production market in the right direction.

It is such a PERFECT example of what the 2 wheel world needs! Custom sportbikes that prove the capabilities of performance and design! #haxchmoto I commend you!

Beautiful bike . And what a lovely down to earth bloke. Wish him all the best.

My word.. That is a thing of epic beauty and a piece of Art. This is 110% what people want.

That is stunning 👌 Love the elements colour and shape hints of urban tiger blade yzf rgv gsxr the fade on paint front to rear ❤️ starting to get a bellend sweat just looking at it .

Loved this when i first saw it at last years bike shed show - amazing!

Fantastic interview guys, fantastic build. Mock gixxers all you want but I LOVE EM. I'd consider them the world's most well known sportbike aside from the Busa. Hell, even BMW bought a pile of them to form a baseline for the S1000RR. Timeless bike and this is a timeless design.

Outstanding build! Can't wait to see what else he builds 👏

That exhaust gives me half a lob on.

This is the most gorgeous creation I’ve seen 🔥

Damn, so many great nods to the best 90's sports bikes. Utterly beautiful.

That is achingly beautiful 😍 well done 👏

Cracking build can't wait to hear her fired up .

Absolutely stunning!! It looks absolutely beautiful 😍

The modern craftsman. Work of art.

Got to admit, that thing is PERFECTION. The lines, the colour scheme and obviously the engineering. My new dream bike. 😎

Well played sir !!! Well played !!! Absolutely awesome !!!

Just like the XSR I think it needs twin headlights to complete the look. Still love it though!

Absolutely stunning, what a build 👌

Stunning bike. Props to Haxch 🙏

Haxch Moto kick ass! ❤️🫡

That’s so 90’s that I want to take an E, play Street Fighter on my Play Station and start shuffling to Scantraxx Roots.. And I love it!! Quality build, beautiful 🔥👌🏼 Edit: I have 6 1990s sport bikes, and one from 2001.. what does that say about me?! The 90s man, what a decade 😄🤙🏽

Stunning, but it's always going to be easy to get us 90s boys to fall back In love with a bike that fantastic. Nice one .

Best custom bike I’ve seen for a long time. Big up Haxch Moto

It looks absolutely fantastic, fair play to you. I've still got my Carl Fogarty polka dot/paint splatter leathers somewhere, which would just complete the look!. It will be good to see it on track. I wish that I had that in my garage.

Simply Stunning !

Amazing build!

Awesome looking bike, remember seeing it on insta before I came off it, maybe il see it at a bikes show one day and get some images of it taken and really do it justice of how stunning it is with its paint job.

Wow, amazing bike. Love the retro look 🔥

Oh my Lordy, cracking machine

Seems like a top guy - hope he gets loads of work off the back of it. Nice one for spotlighting...Beautiful bike! Re AI: I wonder if any human who can do anything other than prompt AI will become an artisan in future? "I made a ham sandwich" "Ahh, so you're an artisan?".

That’s stunning I grew up on 90’s mx bikes loved the colours, dad had a few rare ones RGV250, ZX400, we built an GSXR slab side street fighter together loads of anodised parts Vance & Hines pipe he let me choose the paint / decals a candy red with fleck and neon decals still got pics and trophies it won at shows. Good days RIP dad x

Incredible machine, work of art..

Nice change of content, such a great find!

I have a 1989 FZR1000. When I first got it I only wanted to keep it period correct. Even found a period correct Vance&Hines exhaust. Now I want to replace the entire front end to have better forks and brakes but thats it. It is plenty fast enough and the stock paint does it for me.

Fantastic! Love 90s bikes. Big Brawny loud and fairings.

What an ABSOLUTE BEAUTTTTY ❤❤

What an absolutely beautiful machine,well done mate!

Those 90's graphics are gorgeous 😍

The paint work is Phenomenal! I could not catch any swirl mark!

I started riding in the early 90s. Back then bike magazines were full of GSXR 750 frames with a GSXR 1100 motor stuffed between the frame rails. This bike reminds me of that era.

OOOOOOOOOOH my goodness. That's nuts...

Wow, what a build!

Such a beautiful build.

Top bloke and the bike is beautiful 😍

That man did a grand job on that bike... I'd of liked to of been informed how much cost it involved in turning it around from the stock bike. And by the way all are being sprayed like bugs on a daily basis! LOOK UP! 🙏

Fantastic piece of work, love it.

What’s not to like. After the XSR GP and this I’m excited to see what other manufacturers can muster up if they have the balls to break the current mould.

He’s got the gift! Wow!

The build is incredibly well done, it looks fantastic. I think we are coming to end of current design that people will be nostalgic for in the future. Retro / nostalgia usually starts around 20 years after something's first time around. Are people going to be nostalgic for bikes or design in general created today in 20 odd years time? I don't really think so. I say design because that's my background (graphic design) but as a longtime rider as well I see it in bikes too. It's been a while since the look of a modern bike that doesn't take influence from the past has excited me.

Absolutely incredible looking bike, loving the 90's styling.

Chris - I’ll be very surprised if RU-vid don’t shut you down after uploading what only can be described as uncensored 100% Bike Porn!! 😵 Marc - the man is a bike designing genius - the big manufacturers really need to take heed of this work 😎

Amazing work!!! Such a good looking bike... I want one!!!

Stunning 😍 I'd definitely commission one of that came a out.

I don’t really like fully faired bikes. I prefer naked bikes. This thing is a piece of art. Absolutely stunning.

Stunning! I preferred the Yoshi pipe though...

This, the guys redoing land rovers and the refitted classic cars are an amazing thing.

Beautiful looking bike 😍

Great to see this ‘readers wives’, owners special content, since the magazines died theres a gap in the market both for the bikes and the video content ❤

Good god man, it's beautiful. Highest of fives.

Beautiful! Would love to see an old school yoshi on this. I feel that would set that theme perfectly 😍

Great looking bike, great work by Marc. next time you're filming a bike this special, it's worth finding a backdrop that doesn't camouflage the body of the subject bike. Cheers!

What the actual bloody double decker??? This is AMAZING 😮

A thing of beauty.

Loving the 90s paint job.its a bit like the yzf750 pinky..

Stunning bike

Ragnar Lothbrok now builds race bikes, great tattoos

Comparing to today sbk n motogp bikes today. This thing is absolutely gorgeous.

The world needs more shell suit colour paint jobs on bikes. Love it.

Stunning!!!!! Soo jelly of this machine. Man he really knocked it out the park w the paintjob. Well done . Thank you for posting this video , it makes me all warm and fuzzy between my legs lol. I am in the process of doing a Kawasaki version with a 96'Zx7r w 2005 zx10 engine, she already has the 10 arm and full front end and wheels so the engine is next the Bespoke body work etc..thinking of using Muzzy Raptor front end and a tank setup like the 03/04 ZX-rr where the airbox is cut into the tank. Cheers fellas

That looks sick af

All it needs is a pair of round yellow cibie headlights, for that Suzuki endurance racer look.

To have that vision….stunning
