Royal Enfield recently showcased two of its one-offs at the Wheels and Waves festival in Biarritz, France. One of these custom bikes is called the Dirty Duck which takes a scrambler approach to things. Based on the Continental GT café racer, the Dirty Duck features a fair number of changes over its former self to stand out as a completely different beast. Almost everything on the bike is geared towards amphibious off-roading – from the tyres to the metal under plate. Even the bonkers snorkel air intake! Here's a quick look at the Dirty Duck which was displayed at the biking and surfing festival.
Inspiration has clearly been drawn from off-roaders. The rusted fuel tank, metal under plate lend a rugged persona
Even though the Dirty Duck is based on the Continental GT, the radical upgrade has no resemblance to the original cafe racer

Vertically stacked twin-projectors paired with a GoPro! Record your excursions while looking like the Terminator
The LED taillights give an eerie look to the rear
No clip-ons but a single piece handle bar paired with a digital cluster. Very neat
Accept it, that is a quirky name, but it fits the bill just right
