#AndrewSerbinski

Let’s face it: in 1996 Japanese sport tourers may have been premium performers, but they really weren’t very attractive. Especially when put side-by-side with their Italian counterparts. Andrew Serbinski set out to change that, one Kawasaki GPz1100 at a time. His creation, the MachineArt MK9, is what happens when an industrial designer gets his hands on clay (these were the days before CAD software, remember), to make a Japanese motorcycle easy on the eyes. In this week’s Church of MO, we pay a visit to Serbinski and his masterpiece. MachineArt is still in existence today, though Serbinski never did create a second example.
