Crafting A Dream Bike For Dani Pedrosa | The Silent Samurai

▶︎ Watch The Silent Samurai Full Documentary on Red Bull TV: win.gs/silentsamurai
After an illustrious career in MotoGP, Dani Pedrosa retired in 2018. In honour of his retirement, Deus Ex Machina were asked to build a custom motorcycle for the likeable racer from Spain.
When he was asked to create a bike for Dani, Michael ‘Woolie’ Woolaway didn’t beat around the bush and it wasn’t long until he came up with a concept for a bike based on Dani's favourite motorcycle style.
For someone like Dani, Deus Ex Machina wanted to make this bike truly meaningful. With Dani being a Honda rider, it came as no surprise that the CR500 motor was the perfect centrepiece, fitted with a hand-built chromoly frame and body works that embodied a healthy mix of Americana and dirt track DNA.
The finished bike can only be described as a certified weapon - a custom sword for the ‘Silent Samurai’ himself - Dani Pedrosa.
Bike Specifications:
- 1985 Honda CR500 Motor
- Hand built Chromoly frame
- Davie Durelle adjustable triple clamps
- Ohlins 43mm Dirt track forks
- Race Tech hand built shock by Jimmy Wood
- DOT street legal Dirt track tires
- Lectron Carburettor / Hand built by the owner
- Saddlemen seat
- Body Work all hand made out of 1100 O Aluminum
- 19in Wheels build in SoCal at Dubya

Sensational! What a jem of a motor. Classic bike. Nicely done. I'll miss Dani on the MotoGP grid. A real sporting gentleman.

[@rickfeith6372]

I LOVE that its a 2 stroke with the gnarly non power-valved Honda big block. That saxaphone pipe says it all.

[@cityofplant]

It's a 2 stroke! Everyone loves a 2 stroke! Except for your neighbours.

[@zoedaemon4940]

And government...

[@victormonge9237]

And emissions (just a joke I love 2 smokers)

[@peterbalac1915]

😂😂👌🤙

[@TheBackinator]

I see a 2-stroke pipe, i click the button

[@jonathanschmidt3845]

Will you reveal some action riding? Wanna see it on the track :)

[@lamahazz1579]

Nice to see his dream bike is a 2 stroke

[@stormseason5251]

Those ape hangers at the beginning 😂, why anybody would want to ride a motorcycle in the position of Tarzan swinging from a tree is beyond me.

[@RedBullMotorsports]

😂

[@Endurorodzndubz]

I get pins and needles just putting my hand up in class, my arms would die riding like that.

[@Imblu95]

its ugly as fuck

[@maksum3]

Its quite horrendous really.

[@PaoloCaglioLMT]

Because they can't afford soap for their armpits

[@RoadRevz]

Dani pedrosa peaceful racer smily face in motogp history 💖💖👏👏

[@armysenior1780]

What a beauty. I am sure Dani will be proud to call it his own.

[@LookattheBiggerPic]

Seems very fitting - honoring a very gifted rider and human being with something utterly unique, elegant and simple - Nicely Done!

[@eddiepeake6877]

That.bike.is.BEAUTIFUL 😲

[@Darkman79]

Wow Awesome! Love the end result!

[@jjstewart2120]

A special build for a special guy .makes perfect sense x

[@big500]

Great video.....I’m a big Dani fan... great rider and a gent...

[@francescotutino7421]

Dani number ONE, the great!!!

[@RAHULKUSHWAHA-vp5pz]

I love everything about Dani & the bike is awesome...

[@marcosimula6574]

Ciao Dani, sarai sempre un GRANDE!!! Tutto il mio rispetto!!!

[@aeror115]

What a great custom made bike👍 Love it🤙

[@gixxeride88motovlog]

THAT'S REALLY COOL! THAT'S REALLY A DREAM MOTORCYCLE!

[@tabsacoustic]

Bonito juguete Dani ! Una joya de motor 2t del HRC en un chasis echo a mano por Deus ....Que locura de moto ! Te mereces Todo lo bueno que te ocurre ...

[@elescobal9877]

Veo carreras desde kenny Roberts senior contra Spencer, y te digo que esres de lo mas fino que he visto . me recordabas a E. Lawson que con una 500 2t parecia ir en una 125. Tu fisico jugo contra ti , y el cambio a 4t, fue como ponerte en un camion. De hecho las llamo motocamiones. Tu arte y finura quedo patente , al menos para los que amamos las motos con cierto entendimiento de lo que es ser un Biker. Todos mis respetos. No dejaste nada por hacer. Duerme feliz.

[@matthewgoepfert5]

Absolutely beautiful!! I love every aspect of it, especially the fact that it's a 2 smoker. I have owned thumpers & smokers, but nothing like when a 2 stroke comes on the pipe. I would ride that thing to work every day

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Every so often, otherwise the cops would be trying to get you. 😂

[@rajhajib7266]

Amazing build

[@Pertamax7-HD]

#thanksdani

[@ThatWrapperDude]

Big things come in small packages them cr500s are nasty!! It's a dam 2stroke!! And this what you built is amazing!!

[@Quinney84]

Will miss Dani in motogp.

[@loliperant9820]

Por supuesto!!!

[@jasonwilly8409]

Nice stuff 😍

[@dwijmr]

Nice supermoto. Good job bro

[@pgsahoo6560]

Dani is the Rahul Dravid of Moto GP

[@mohammedsulaiman1388]

Nice!

[@djwozzawoz]

Everything is awesome here...Just Sayin'

[@MatthewTuck92]

Wonderful beast

[@Furrylicorice]

That is to cool. Would have loved to seen it with a Honda RS250R motor. Lighter and more HP. But I still want one👍

[@dadtube1936]

7:09 you actually get to see the bike dimly lit for 2 seconds.

[@VOLITANT]

seriously could barely see it!

[@justinleeb]

MUST SEE BIKE

[@williamsacksteder9438]

I lost half of it to the thumbnails of other videos to click (on mobile). Didn't even get a clean shot of dimly lit, hard to see bike. Am sad.

[@cudavrage]

The Cr500 is not hard to start...you just gotta know the secret!

[@Suaneslopez]

Exactly but he he did this for the tiny spanish guy . Im not thst tall my self and spanish aswell but i know how to start the 500 after 1 kick ;):)

[@enlightenedidiot9552]

Dani is really little...

[@olehagemann9209]

Inspireing

[@ethanmacheras5967]

Awesome

[@yobaafett]

thanks for not doing a sound test, i really love watching custom motorcycle videos and not hearing what they sound like...

[@teamscottpro]

Tom yeah

[@akapog]

My dream bike too 😱. Good job

[@Robert-qc2zc]

Dani the best!!!

[@Kybay]

Nice Flat Tracker 😎😎🔥🔥

[@Gremlinsbeabout]

it would be perfect with a tiny front mudguard. it needs it so bad!

[@jacquesduplessis6175]

Sweet bike

[@BlakeRocks52]

God that bike looks sick. Can anyone tell me what kind of manufactured bikes are similar to this? Does this style of bike have a name?

[@RedBullMotorsports]

It's a street tracker 👍

[@villev8844]

Dani has been racing with 250+ horsepower motorcycles, I don't understand why this beast had to be tamed, because the stock cr 500 only gives + 50 rwhp. It is nice bike nevertheless.

[@kirkarvint.2017]

Exactly

[@Specter1031]

You know, a lot of these professional riders don't like riding outrageously powerful bikes in the public? Kind of like how Michael Schumacher (Formula 1 for those that don't know) didn't drive a fast car. I wish I could remember what it was, but it was on the episode of Top Gear that he was in.

[@LoneliestDog]

everyone got their own preferences the most important part is how the bike will make him feel

[@rarezer0197]

Big power doesn't equal big fun

[@Howling-Mad-Murdock]

Yeah I wondered about that, but at the end of the vid he says it has 70hp, so who knows...

[@vincentgrcc]

Nice bike

[@dangerm2156]

Damn the rules, it's the feeling that matter.

[@Gyurka30]

Életem legszearabb videója amit láttam...

[@davidgreen7392]

What is the name of the tool for spinning/tightening the lock-wire?

[@romitmahanta]

Next!

[@Messerschmitt07]

Ma è bellissima!

[@namansharma5449]

WOW

[@MatteoTorrisiOfficinaDelPilota]

❤️

[@ItsCriti]

Whoa

[@coolcash6577]

Keren sekali

[@razor7177]

Anyone realized anything at 3:32?

[@kevinbergeron4702]

Anyone have info on the mill and also the lathe he was using here

[@BrotherPenny]

What’s the tune at the end of the video?

[@michellemenzies2187]

Why would you putt bolts through the samurai

[@ramonsanchez1809]

Aver qué no allá malos entendidos se que Dani Pedrosa conducir super maquinas está moto es una petición o es algo que le izo el colega

[@pink8231]

I love supermoto

[@andridarmawan1884]

I like your t-shirt

[@thepunisher368]

Over seeing these branded t shirt every where

[@dewaastawa8472]

DEUS is the best, i’m from BALI island and there is a place named cangu batu belig where DEUS store and restaurant is.!!!

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

Any pictures of it?

[@sinematographers3344]

All the cliche's with some improvement on sound. Time for a new approach

[@vijaykorvekar1009]

What are the wheel and tyre specs

[@noahismail3884]

one of my fav rider.

[@PILSLL]

Evrythings perfect,, but you should achieve your sensational work by putting it a LIGER cylinder kit from CPI industries, and an adapted exhaust to eat with

[@scyra9997]

derbi jättää

[@Canyon_Shawn]

It's a nice bike. But, that CR500 is gonna twist that swingarm around.

[@Suaneslopez]

Waiting for the 500 beast to be started and it did not :(

[@MotoMichelle]

2 stroke 😃

[@armanmaaba600]

👍🙂

[@andreapoti9305]

Avrei preferito una 500 AF

[@mark675]

2:27 only in america would someone have a huge flag on their pushbike and handlebars like that bellend just after LOL

[@rudibening9504]

squirrel @ 3:32 ?

[@phongnguyen007]

Kx500 would be better suit for hi speed and top end power... Maybe Dani just must favor Honda

[@kitoyiyim8745]

Racers don't really ride fast in the streets that's why they choose to use cafe racers in the streets

[@thahoova6818]

Who else thought that was jeff gordon in the photo

[@juanposada9319]

This feels really contrived and you can tell when he receives the bike. For me, this is just an infomercial for Deus.

[@bernardmt7090]

The handle bar is too wide big for Dani 😂😅😊

[@olivierlavau-wira6991]

Can you actually show the bike ??

[@williamsacksteder9438]

Great video, right up until a few seconds from the end when you covered the only shot of the finished product with thumbnails for other videos. I have fabrication porn blueballs now...

[@RedBullMotorsports]

deuscustoms.com/bikes/model/the-pedrosa-bike/

[@bluebee4346]

Glad to see him away from the shitey cheating bastards that are repsol Honda. Having fun

[@Yoyo-jc8hg]

You mean the team that made him rich and gave him the best bike.

[@samarthk9366]

5 minutes intro on the builder and then bike was made by someone.. He just copied and adjusted to Dani spec...

[@Koma-wz2ob]

does the customer look a bit like james hetfield?

[@keluargatersayang9397]

Ga jelas.?

[@scottmeyer3803]

Everyone hates on me at my school for rockin a blue and white red bull hat

[@FreshBeatsification]

#overedited

[@iansmith101]

Welding sounds over angle grinder video... That's just all wrong!! Sweet bike though.

[@billbob8532]

So your not going to show it being ridin boring

[@slimjim1860]

Rossi is better

[@tunerfun]

The cost of this ugly bike ??? This is not a style for gp rider 3 time champion its a bmx with engine

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

Any pictures of it?
