I genuinely have a weak spot for this bike. And (surprisingly) it’s not because of Tom Cruise in Top Gun. It was up to the GPZ900R Ninja vs Suzuki GSX-S Katana when I was choosing my donor bike for the custom build. I was inspired … Read More ›

Dirt Track racing seems to be growing in the custom bike builders scene. No wonder – these bikes are lightweight as the scramblers or offroad bikes tend to be, but they are also lower and more proportional regarding the design. If You check the builder’s … Read More ›
Is this the Cafe Racer styled motorcycle from Harley Davidson we’ve all been waiting for? Most likely. BT-03 is another creation from Blacktrack Motors. A company that brought a brilliant performance version of Honda CX500 (BT-01). And quite recently featured here – Norton BT-02. I’m … Read More ›
What I like in posting about custom bikes is that they don’t get old. I used to run a car blog, sharing thoughts about particular models, reviewing, comparing, brainstorming… The issue was that a 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX is only a hot topic for a … Read More ›
“You’ll have guessed, we have a soft spot for the ’70s…” this is how the description of this build begins on the Felix Motocyclette website. This Yamaha XS650 is built based on the ’79 model… It has the engine that was often used in Flat … Read More ›
This is the first Honda CB1000R featured here. I’m not the biggest fan of contemporary custom bikes. Being retro-oriented, I find the classic look and old school bikes more appealing. Being also pragmatic and having the knowledge from this blog viewer numbers – I also … Read More ›
After the Benelli Leoncino, it’s time for another Italian bike – the Ducati. This build is also a kind of a “shapeshifter”, but I think that would be the only thing these two custom bikes have in common. This thing is a definition of metal … Read More ›
I was able to see, touch, hear this motorcycle last weekend. It was on Warsaw Motorcycle Show. First of all – I wasn’t aware that Leoncino existed until a couple of months ago when Jacek Mulak (founder of Cardsharper Customs) shared the news on the … Read More ›
I will always be a big fan of oil-cooled Suzuki bikes. I had an Inazuma myself (GSX1200). Loved the bike, the looks and the powerplant. Therefore I’m pleased to show another one of the species – this time it comes from Marseille, France. Banb Motorcycles … Read More ›
I had a bad few last days. Couldn’t find any inspiration to do something new with this blog, Neither could I work on my bikes, as I was expecting a new motorcycle stand to arrive, to help me operate on the front suspension… At the … Read More ›
I loved Unik Edition’s first pro build – “Pandora”. Lately, they released the beautiful Ducati “Tribute”. And this one is the last of their builds that will be featured here for a while, but I had to show it. We had a Japanese Cafe Racer, Italian retro-mod … Read More ›
Oh dear… It’s another Honda Dominator Scrambler build. Well… What can You do? These bikes are having a well-earned renaissance in the hands of custom workshops. This time – this is not an Italian, but Polish build. This Dominator was modified by Eastern Spirit Garage. A … Read More ›
Despite that, the trend for “retro-modding” old dual-sport bikes is well and kicking, I still can’t get accustomed to the transformation of the looks these motorcycles go through. Just look at this build and then on the original bike. It’s hard to believe that these … Read More ›
I was very interested when I read the press release for this bike, as I would have never imagined this kind of build and a reason behind the technical concept. The story reaches ten years back, right now it is in a critical moment – the … Read More ›
I’ve met Ben Hall from Valespeed Motorcycles on one of the Facebook groups. Groups related to what we do here – Cafe Racers/Scramblers, where he published few shots of this motorcycle! I have no idea how is it a Cafe Racer or anything of the … Read More ›
