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 ›
This thing is from the deep archives of the internet. It was built 12 years ago, but somehow I don’t think it was ever featured anywhere. It is actually a second Griso featured on this blog. I thought about this model as there are rumours … Read More ›
The work of Vibrazioni Art Design is like nothing else. I love their sense of style and aesthetics. I could have their bikes sitting in the living room near the fireplace and just look at it. Of course, I would rather ride it as their … Read More ›
I love the Kawasaki ZRX1200R model. I own one – last year of production: 2006, in the only colour available that year – brilliant Kawasaki Green. It is a very universal machine. It does the job as a daily ride, puts a smile on my … Read More ›
You might remember the small series production Nembo 32. It is a custom build of a different level… and a unique concept of a motorcycle as a whole. A really unique new motorcycle: no bike is alike… The project started in 2008. The main idea … Read More ›
Ducati MH900e is one of the most iconic motorcycles from Bologne. Pierre Terblanche’s design makes most of his creations instant classics. One of my top 3 favourite bucket list bikes came from this guy: Ducati SportClassic – it happened a few years after the MH900e. … Read More ›
It’s been a while since last Lucky Custom build feature. And this one is way different than their previous one. They seem to have a distinctive style regarding tire choices… and the way they run the exhaust pipes. Also, they seem to like the scrambler … Read More ›
I have an issue with CB750. For once, undeniably – it is one of the most important motorcycles in history. It was the bike that started it all for the universal motorcycles segment. This is great. But with time… it got itself a name to … Read More ›
This year’s motto for the Yamaha Yard Built is “Back to the Dirt”. This seems like a spot on concept – as Yamaha doesn’t have any retro scramblers for sale currently. This way, they will address this segment a little. Another thing is that… we … Read More ›
I’m sceptical regarding the builds that begin their life as a modern sport or sport-touring bikes. Usually, the build story behind such custom is something like: “I crashed my CBR, and want to fix it cheap” – meaning a street fighter or a quasi cafe … Read More ›
If I’m counting correctly – this would be at least third DR650 build by Le French Atelier. It seems like they fancy this unlikely donor bike for custom conversion. Interestingly – every one of their builds is different. They didn’t create a “canon” of styling … Read More ›
GT1000 is a brilliant bike. A Ducati’s answer to the growing nostalgia on the market of motorcycles. A short-lived series, as probably they were about 5-10 years too soon with the concept. But the “Sport Classic” line is spectacular. The GT version was a “Grand … Read More ›
When I saw this bike’s photo somewhere on the internet – I immediately knew that something was off here. When I figured out what was it, I liked it even more. But when following the links, I found that Dave Solomon (an admin of the … Read More ›
This build is older than my blog. But it doesn’t matter – this is one of the most beautiful things with custom bikes. They don’t get old. First of all – it grabbed my attention by its design. It’s a little bizarre A massive tank… … Read More ›
This is a build of a different origin than most bikes presented here. It’s based on almost a century old frame, coming from Douglas EW350. A hundred-year-old thing… makes You respect the donor bike even more. Especially when the builders decide to go with the … Read More ›
