Truly one of my favourite designer and builder,clean drag style bikes with black and matt finishes.
for instance they r good but he is struck in his own designs,never experimented with any thing new,also very expensive.

You’re not right, Brandon.Of course Marcus’ Headquarter is still placed in Hockenheim, Germany.But he runs WHC-Stores in a few countries, one Department is in Miami, Fl.
Indeed he is not only a Masterbuilder but also a guy who has not become arrogant and “blind” because of success.
Keep it on, Marcus!

Brian. Tough Customs seems to build only “copy machines”. By the way, Marcus is only in Germany, not in Florida. He came to Florida just the time of a Biker Build Off

Does Marcus have something to do with http://www.toughcustoms.com? They used to advertise in Robb Report MC mag and the bikes look like Marcus’ bikes but they’re based out of Canada and I thought Marcus was in Florida and Germany.

I know Marcus as we have met & talked a few times over the years & beside the fact that he is (one of) the Greatest Bike Builder that we have in Europe, he is also one of the nicest & coolest Guy I have met in this Business,
Keep it on Marcus !

I hope that he is not following the OCC book club deals. We don’t need any more “self-proclaimed” rock stars, we’ve all had enough.

I’ve seen the bikes at Daytona. I appreciate the work but, I am a traditionalist and I don’t particularly care too much about the euro style. They are very, very expensive and I seriously don’t see the value.

I wish him the best on his career and I hope that he carries product liability insurance in the US so that the same thing that happened to BBC does not happen to him.

I’ve photographed the Hardcore bikes at their display during Daytona Bikeweek over the years and was always very impressed at the attention to detail and how “clean” the design is. His bikes are primarily in the Pro Street/Race style with a typical Euro/German perfectionist mentality in parts selection/construction. I was a little shocked with the lime green single-side swing arm example in 2005, a touch of color is an understatement with this bike as it almost glows in the daytime, not just the night time, as if carved from a block of enriched uranium. From my observation of his creations, Mr. Walz richly deserves the accolades and competition wins that have come his way. And he has done it his way, with a style that blazes a new path rather than following the crowd. Keep up the good work.
