The Morsus
Introducing The Morsus. A one-off. A showcase. Designed to capture your imagination. No-one expects such a creature from Akrapovič the leading manufacturer of premium, performance exhausts systems for motorcycles and performance cars. But then Akrapovič isn't like other exhaust companies.
We decided to build this machine with Dreamachine Motorcycles, in Slovenia to demonstrate that whilst Akrapovič is known for racing prowess, we have such a breadth and depth of in-house talent that entering the competitive world of custom bikes is a natural extension to what we do.
You can see the visual cues of the scorpion – long associated with Akrapovič. We have also managed to use materials that we excel at producing – titanium, stainless steel and of course carbon fiber.
The Morsus isn't for sale but you can now put our innovative exhaust systems on your favourite Harley-Davidson models.

The Custom Guy
Tomaž Capuder, Dreamachine Motorcycles, himself a winner of many international prizes for custom bike designs in Daytona and all over Europe, also comments:
“This project was a big challenge for me. I admire the work of Igor Akrapovič very much and I wanted to put together two motorcycle worlds, racing and custom. I followed also an idea of special cycle chrono bike on 26 inch wheels, which was quite challenging, but I´m quite happy with the final result as the body of the bike from many angles looks like a Scorpion.”
The Technical Stuff
Whilst its a one off piece of art, its a working machine which can be ridden. The machine was designed and handbuilt in Slovenia with the project coordinated by Dreamachine Motorcycles and Akrapovič leading designers, engineers and skilled craftsmen.
Over three months the project team worked out all the details and all the time tried to keep to the original design intent.
Here's some technical details about this extraordinary custom show bike:
