As most of you will know, Ducati has already collaborated with Lamborghini on a couple of separate occasions. Two models from Borgo Panigale’s lineup were thus far given the Lambo cosmetic treatment and turned into special editions for those with thick wallets. First, there was the Diavel 1260 inspired by the Sian FKP 37, then we saw the Streetfighter V4 infused with some Huracan STO charm.
While marveling over these swanky collectibles, we were left wondering when and if the custom bike community will respond with something built in the same spirit. The answer came in 2023, courtesy of a lesser-known workshop from Bali. We’re talking about Treasure Garage, the brainchild of Imanuel Prakoso and one of the most underrated shops on that side of the globe.
Indonesian craftsmen are some of the world’s finest when it comes to metalwork, and the guys at Treasure Garage really drive that point home with this build. For visual inspiration, Imanuel turned to the popular racing game series Gran Turismo. More specifically, he would base the design on the wild Lamborghini V12 Vision Gran Turismo, whose otherworldly cosmetic cues would make their way onto a Monster 796 from the model-year 2013.
The initial concept was penned with the help of an experienced designer, then it came time for the incredible fabrication work to get underway. It all started with the new subframe, which was shaped with pinpoint precision out of a solid block of billet aluminum. The finished part was then topped with a plain solo seat, and its underside was encased in a sharp tail section complete with LED lighting.
Even the taillight arrangement itself is downright intoxicating, looking unlike anything we’ve seen before. Oh, and things only get better from there, mind you, with the rest of the bodywork forming an intricate collection of angles meant to echo the Vision GT’s design. And echo it they do, from the mesmerizing belly pan and fenders placed down low, to the multi-piece fuel tank cover, side panels, and front fairing.
The latter is a work of art in and of itself, featuring a pair of yellow-tinted headlights and edges embellished with LED strips to really bring the Lambo theme to the forefront. On the other hand, the tank cover flaunts large air inlets that channel oxygen where it’s needed the most. Rounding out the Monster’s outfit are two mesh-covered shrouds placed right in front of the engine.
With all this delicious eye candy grabbing our attention, it’s easy to miss the custom stainless-steel exhaust system and its premium HP Corse muffler. CNC-machined rearsets and clip-on handlebars also make an appearance, placing this bespoke masterpiece firmly on cafe racer territory. Picking a color scheme was pretty easy for the lads at Treasure Garage, as there was only one logical way to go with this V12 Vision-inspired project.
