Lucky Custom is a brand that was already featured on this blog. Twice… This tells something. You just can’t overlook their build when “scrolling” through the photos of custom bikes. They do have a unique style and a special feel to their builds. Aggressive colours. … Read More ›
Yes. It is another Virago. Yamaha XV750, somehow this mediocre machine has stolen the hearts of custom bike enthusiasts. It’s almost unbelievable. This model (along with a Honda CX500) breaks the internet almost every time a new build is published. Considering how the website traffic … Read More ›
Oh man, how special this build is. Cafe Racer genre reinvented by choosing the exotic and rare donor bike – Husqvarna Vitpilen 701. A motorcycle that is only 2 years old (as from its premiere on the market). A motorcycle revolutionary by its design. A … Read More ›
BMW K1200RS is not the first choice when You think about building a custom motorcycle. Well… Probably it’s not even in the top 50 donor bike models. This build comes with a story… about cooperation. Cooperation fueled by opposite styles and characters. About quite an … Read More ›
Royal Enfield is not what it used to be today. It lost most of its heritage and recognition through the years, by almost completely disappearing. But it is quite alive in Asia (especially India). And it seems like they are planning a comeback. I wish … Read More ›

I had to check this, and this is indeed a first Aprilia Tuono… even first Aprilia on this blog. This is a very extraordinary base to customize. Aprilia is a truly exotic Italian brand. That somehow manages to release machines that can compete with the … Read More ›

The XSR900 series… One one hand – Yamaha did a great job with the MT series. These machines are up to the task. They offer extraordinary performance and ride quality for a very competitive price. But… on the other hand – I don’t get that … Read More ›
I’m not the biggest fan of the Yamaha Virago builds, as there’s a bit too many of these. And I love it when someone, who is not a “professional workshop owner” sends me his build. Especially when a bike has a story Jean-Pierre contacted me … Read More ›
