Two Sikh Youths Turned Dream Into Reality – From Maruti-800 To ‘Dracula-800’

                                          ‘Dracula S-800’

Davinder Singh(20)and Harsimran Singh(18) of Gehlran village in Bhogpur, Punjab: Made Motorcycle ‘Dracula S-800’With Maruti 800 Engine 200 kmph

Two young Sikh friends in Punjab built themselves a big cruiser at home. They called it the Dracula S-800. The duo spent about one month, spending some Rs 2 lakh on the project for the transformation job

The biggest highlight is the engine that comes from a Maruti 800, along with the differential. The Singh duo used parts and components from various vehicles for the Dracula. According to the two, the Dracula will do speeds of up to 200-220 km/h if given enough space to stretch its legs.

Davinder and Harsimran both attend different Engineering colleges but it was the common love for motorcycles that brought them together and has now resulted in homemade motorcycle, which quite frankly appears to be a great effort for the very first attempt at bike building.

Any sort of vehicular modification is banned in India but has a flourishing market internationally. That, however, does not stop bike builders in India from holding back from creativity.

Davinder and Harsimran may not be able to take the Dracula S-800 for a spin on highways but it surely a project they can learn from and have even more finesse in their next build.

They rented a small space for Rs 35,000 per month in their village and started working on the bike there. They finished the designing phase and started working on the bike. The work started on 1st July and the bike was ready by August 8.
