o stranger to AMD’s World and European
Championship programs, Hungarian builder Sapka
Muvek brought three bikes to Cologne in October
2016 – scoring a top twenty finish in the Freestyle class
with Ultima 113” engined ‘Black Brass’.
Using a Chica hardtail frame, Ultima drivetrain with open primary and
DNA spoke wheels, ‘Black Brass’ oozes signature detailing and touches
– check out the oil tank!
We first got to know Sapka many years ago when he won the AMD
European Championship at Custom Chrome’s Dealer Show in Germany
in 2007 and went on to a 5th place at the AMD World Championship
later the same year.
His bike back then, called Time Machine, was an all wood and brass
homage to HG Wells and his famous novel - the wheels, for example,
were made in Lignum Vitae – a wood so dense, strong, hard, heavy and
water and salt resistant that its engineering uses have even included
the main shaft in nuclear powered submarines!
Fast forward to 2016 and Sapka also competed with ‘BSA 42’, a 250cc
1961 BSA C14 in the Retro Modified class and a 1997 BMW R100 RS
in the Cafe Racer class.
