"I realized early on that it was a pain in the ass to build bikes around an existing design," says Max Hazan, the 35-year-old craftsman behind Hazan Motorworks in Los Angeles. "Especially with this bike, with the turbo, we had to build the bike around the engine." He's referring to the 1974 Ducati 860 Turbo mill, the heart of this build. Hazan starts by setting an engine and wheels on the workbench, then lets his creation grow from there. "I spend a lot more time staring and thinking than bending and welding. Making the shapes is easy; it's coming up with the shapes that's difficult."
