Spencer Parr’s journey with the DRZ Scorpion 434 is nothing short of a full-throttle success story. Back in 2018, when we first met Spencer, he was a police investigator, fresh into the bike-building world, working out of his home garage and battling vision loss due to cancer. Fast forward to 2024, and Parr Motorcycles is now a big name in custom bike building.
A Custom Suzuki DR-Z400 Like No Other
Spencer’s latest masterpiece, the DRZ Scorpion 434, is a personal milestone, built not for a client but as his first spec bike—an all-in project with no deadlines and pure passion behind every bolt.
This Suzuki DR-Z400 features a 434cc big-bore kit, 17-inch supermoto wheels, custom aluminum subframe, and Parr’s signature “rad lights” integrated into the radiator covers. It’s got soul, sweat, and a killer Mortal Kombat-inspired paint job—“Scorpion” yellow winning out over the “Sub-Zero” blue.
What makes this custom Suzuki DR-Z400 even more special is that it’s Spencer’s full-circle moment: built in the same home garage where it all began, during a whirlwind of life events, including the pandemic, two jobs, and becoming a father again. The DRZ Scorpion 434 stands as a testament to grit, creativity, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
