Here at WBW, we cover many motorcycle builds boasting custom componentry.
Whether you’re looking at “The Crown” (an R 18 celebrating a century of BMW motorcycles), MotoExotica x Royal Enfield’s ultimate Himalayan or that grungy Honda “Daxxer” 125 Cafe Racer from K-Speed, every modded bike shows off potential for a new idea that challenges the norms of mass-produced motorcycles.
Of course, there’s also the opposite edge of the coin: Criminal customs that garner a grin, or a groan, or both…
I’d put this bike in the latter category.
CrazyXYZ’s decision to mount a tractor tire to a 109.7cc single-cylinder TVS Victor screams “ridiculous” regardless of which language you choose; still, I’d wager that there are worse ways to spend free time than by itching that “what if” bug bite and actioning dreams to reality.
CrazyXYZ’s coverage shows the choice of monster tyre for this project: An agricultural R1 tractor wheel with a triple-angle lug that promises tumultuous travels.
The team creates a bar system to replace the typical axle situation, leaving two female parts at the end of the rectangular casing.
The TVS’s wheel-less forks are dropped into those holes, with the tractor wheel exerting force upon the Victor’s forks. By some miracle, the contraption holds.
Next phase of the experiment: A gentle bump-and-roll jaunt through the countryside.
Spoiler: They did indeed roll, though no amount of suspension travel could possibly keep with the ups and downs of that triple-lug angle.
What do you think of this TVS motorcycle with a tractor wheel?
