This Droog Moto DM-015 Swerves Around The Apocalypse
Here at Men’s Gear, we’ve featured an awful lot of bikes. Out of all, most points go to Droog Moto’s motorcycles, not only because they always impress us, but also because the shop doesn’t seem to shy away from taking risks to innovate the present mold. Which brings us to the Droog Moto DM-015.
If you’ve seen Droog Moto’s previous handiwork, you know their motorcycles look like they came right out of a lavish science-fiction film shoot. The new one you see above is not an exception. The slick, slightly steampunk project sees the Kawasaki Nija 250 enter a drastic transformation to get ready for an imminent post-apocalyptic world.
Far from just looking beautiful, the thing runs excellently, too. That credit goes to Droog Moto, who always ensures each bike it disassembles gets tiptop performance in the end. The Droog Moto DM-015 boasts a 250cc engine that makes 36 horsepower. Which drives a six-speed gearbox, mind you. The numbers doesn’t seem all that impressive on paper. But consider that the bike is stripped to its bare essentials. Suddenly things get a little more interesting.
You get a front and rear suspension both fully upgrade to fully adjustable units. Also, you’ll find LED lighting that replaces the standard halogen bulbs on the bike. Each baby, in case you didn’t know, undergoes custom construction to satisfy the buyer’s standards. The shop takes your measurements and builds the bike to fit you personally. Thinking of those things is what really sets Droog Moto apart from the rest.

Droog Moto DM-15
If you’re looking to join a post-apocalyptic biker gang a bit early, look no further than Droog Moto’s latest creation, the DM-15. They essentially took a Kawasaki Ninja 250 and turned it into something other-worldly…
Kawasaki Z1000 Urban Fighter By Droog Moto
You won’t believe it, but there’s a Kawasaki Z1000 somewhere underneath this ultimate decked-out ride. Droog Moto went to town with this one, and it shows.
The post-apocalyptic motorcycle in the latest addition to the custom shop’s already badass collection. The Urban Fighter is its largest bike to date, and perhaps the most formidable, too.
Droog Moto’s DNA is seen here all over, first with the custom fuel cell, front fairing, and then the fenders, sporting an angular configuration made out of raw steel. The shop removed much of, if not all the bodywork from the base Kawasaki Z1000. Tabs, too, are a goner. Wirings are tucked away to clean up the look even more.
Droog Moto also replaced the rear subframe with a custom model that tops a leather skateboard seat and low-profile LED brake light. Down below, you’ll find a fresh array of aluminum wheel inserts that punctuate the heavy-duty look. It’s not called Urban Fighter for nothing.
A tough ride deserves equally gruff stats. Here, you’ll get 953 cc engine topping at a horsepower of 125. Fastest speed is 158mph.
Droog Moto says when you ride the Urban Fighter, you’ll feel in total control. Its mission? To “decimate rivals,” the shop says. It’s an intimidating bike but not to the point of being off-putting. But while this, headturner is big, bad, and furious, it’s got some soft spots. Mainly that it’s still fairly nimble. Not to mention extremely easy to ride. A badass with heart and grace, in short.
