Welcome to this game changer way for motorcycle manufacturers to source out their designs, by having access to the talent of a selected group of some of the top indie motorcycle designers in the world, ALL at the same time, IN-MOTOD

IN-MOTOD, is the innovative way created by SMD to connect you with all these 9 designers to pitch motorcycle designs for your projects, without “having to pay them all” or as you would individually.

If one of their designs is selected, that is all you will pay for in a merit-royalties basis, easily justifying the external use of these top designers.

After, you can choose to use your in-house team for development or our development services as well.

Contact SMD for further details on this exciting new way to tap into this unprecedented

creative moto collective.

THE DESIGNERS

Some of the designer descriptions by the #1 custom bikes authority, BIKE EXIF

TONY PRUST

It’s always interesting to see the bikes that well-known builders create for themselves. This Triumph T120 Bonneville is the personal ride of Tony Prust -Bike Exif

This pint-sized racer from Analog Motorcycles is the most unique match-up to come our way: a 1968 Ducati 250 ‘narrow case’ motor mounted in a Moto3 prototype frame, and wrapped in a plethora of hand-made bits. —Bike Exif

BILL WEBB-HUGE MOTO

A few months ago, Bill Webb’s Honda CBR1000RR almost melted our servers. The ‘café fighter’ conversion became one of the most popular bikes we’ve ever shown, -Bike Exif

THE ONE MOTO SHOW is a cornucopia of analog delights, gleaming with metalflake and raw, hand-beaten bodywork. But there was an interloper lurking amongst the chrome and carburetors: this futuristic Zero from Huge Moto of San Francisco, -Bike Exif

As soon as the Zero was revealed, it starting popping up everywhere on social media

NIKI SMART

THE QUAIL GATHERING is the motorcycle equivalent of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance: a world-class display of rarified exotica and immaculate restorations, plus a few jaw-dropping customs to spice up the mix.

To win an award at The Quail is no easy achievement. But this year, Niki Smart’s incredible Honda XL500-based special won not one, but two trophies: the Custom/Modified category, plus the ‘Design and Style’ award presented by Arch Motorcycles. -Bike Exif

Niki Smart is a British car designer, known for being the lead designer on the Ariel Atom project and his concept car design for Cadillac, as a former design manager for the General Motors Advanced Design team in Los Angeles, California.

HUGO ECCLES-UNTITELED MOTORCYCLES

IT’S BEEN A BUSY YEAR for Hugo Eccles of Untitled Motorcycles. His Ducati Hyper Scrambler appeared on Jay Leno’s Garage, and his ‘Supernaturale’ Moto Guzzi custom won the coveted Design & Style award at the Quail Motorcycle Gathering this past June.

Moto Guzzi must have been paying attention because they recently commissioned Hugo to customize their V9 Bobber as part of their ‘Pro-Build’ program,

TOM KONECNY-DIAMOND ATELIER

Motorcycle styling, even in the custom scene, tends to edge forward in increments. Bikes fit neatly within genres, perhaps stretching the envelope in one direction but playing safe in others.

But occasionally someone will try something completely new. And so it is with this groundbreaking design from Diamond Atelier, the Munich workshop famous for its immaculate BMW airhead customs, -Bike Exif

MICHAEL LAFONTAIN-RACCIA MOTORCYCLES

MIKE LAFOUNTAIN HAS been working on vintage motorcycles since he was 17, and he’s a perfectionist. His creations are nut-and-bolt perfect; they attract crowds (and awards) at premier events like The Quail, and sit next to other supermodels at the Haas Moto Museum. -BIke Exif
