Knockout’s Radical ‘Jim Beam’ Blaster Photo Gallery

Ultimately, the mix of styling and performance is helping to fill the void between classic cruisers and high-performance sportbikes.

Merging retro style with sportbike speed and performance, the Jim Beam Blaster has a style all its own. Read more about the custom build in Knockout’s Radical ‘Jim Beam’ Blaster.

Ralph Randolph and his crew at Knockout Motorcycle Co, had a total of four weeks to put together the Jim Beam Blaster without outside help.

Ralph Randolph: “A large part of this bike is all business and heart-stopping speed. We’re happy with the results, but had to wonder what we could have done if we had more time. I would love to blend the V-Twin and sportbike worlds together; a working mix of something Buell, Ducati, and FXR.”

To add to the NASCAR styling the bike's exhaust was run underneath.

To increase the aerodynamics, the gas tank was pushed up to the fairing to allow the rider to lay flat.

Ralph Randolph, a former jet pilot and current bike builder, fused the design of a retro cruiser with sportbike performance.

The design for the Jim Beam Blaster was based on NASCAR's Robby Gordon and his racecar, “Old #7,” which he drove for Jim Beam Racing.

One way the crew at Knockout Motorcycles achieved the racy styling was by stretching the swingarm.

To match the styling, the bike also contains a124 cubic-inch S&S motor, capable of producing 140-150 hp.
