Aditya and his team from Mean Green Designs (MGC) managed to do just that as they have created ‘Sliver’ – a Karizma based cafe racer.

The MGC team wanted to do something radical opting to have a clean design with a vintage touch in a single package. The cafe racer gets a minimalistic approach with the exposed engine and components. The aesthetics have been beautifully played with. The bike gets a custom headlight and a curvy fuel tank with sharp edges as well as a dark brown quilted leather single seat. The design is further accentuated by the custom built old school girder fork suspension set-up, while the rear has been upgraded with a monoshock. The rear swingarm has also been redesigned to match the overall look of the front girder fork.

Coming to the powertrain, the MGC Sliver comes with the stock 223cc single-cylinder, SOHC, air-cooled engine from the Hero Karizma with a compression ratio of 9:1 and features a Kehlin CV carburettor with a CCVI switch. The top speed is rated at 130 km/hr and the 0-100 km/hr sprint is achievable in 13.8 seconds. Certainly one of the most radical yet well-executed designs on the Karizma, the Sliver cafe racer boasts off a fresh appeal that will make a lot of heads turn around. If you plan to get a similar design theme for your bike, Mean Green Designs will be charging you a good Rs. 2.5-3 lakhs, while the company’s other modification jobs start from Rs. 1.5 lakh onwards.
