Video: Why an exhaust's sound and appearance matter, with Classified Moto

Sep 14, 2019

If you’ve seen AMC’s "The Walking Dead," or if you follow today’s custom bike scene, you’ve seen the work of Classified Moto.

Operating out of what appears to be an underground lair accessed by a manhole in Richmond, Virginia, Classified Moto’s built a reputation and a style all their own. And that style’s gained a lot of popularity, especially after Norman Reedus rode Classified bikes across millions of screens as Daryl Dixon. 

Classified Moto’s frontman, John Rylan, has as much personality as his motorcycles. That certainly comes across in Classified’s video series, Restricted.

Each episode gives a look behind the scenes of Classified’s builds, plus healthy doses of riding and bike talk. This time, Rylan and his crew are focusing on exhausts: how they sound, how they’re built, and why we like them so much. 

Check out more of Classified Moto’s episodes on their YouTube channel, or check out their website for more information on some wild custom motorcycles.
