SULTANS OF SPRINT: One of two new custom bike race series in Europe in 2016, the final rounds of the “Sultans of Sprint” was staged in the outside
activity area race track of INTERMOT, and saw Young Guns Speed Shop of Switzerland take the series win. The Sultans of Sprint challenge was a
gathering of “motorcycle freaks from all over Europe to race custom sprint bikes - air or oil-cooled 4-stroke twin cylinder engines of up to 1400cc. Not
focused only on speed, performance and power, the 'Sultans of Sprint' challenge also rewarded the contenders for their style, creativity and craziness.
The participating bikes were 100% custom built by the best custom workshops and enthusiasts. The Sultans of Sprint is a class of its own … a race for
turbocharged flying carpets built and raced by creative gearheads”; www.sultansofsprint.com
