I wanted to write another Top 5 post for the series… Selected “the brick” from BMW as a topic for the list. And it turned out that there are so many interesting builds based on this iconic BMW series… that Top 5 doubled… This list includes … Read More ›
Let’s stay with Italians. This time it’s Ducati Hypermotard “Hektor” with retro – wood, leather and metal treatment. Just imagine a story… 6 guys got together: Mechanic, Boatbuilder, Metalsmith, Leatherworker, Photographer, and Bike builder. Quite a mix of worlds and talents. These guys decided to build … Read More ›
It’s time for something fresh, after recent Yamaha overload. I don’t know how I overlooked this fact – but the last 3 posts were about this Japanese brand. Let’s reset a little. I had this one sitting in the drafts folder for a while now. … Read More ›
This one is not a regular “look at this awesome custom!” blog post. As I’m always trying to be true to the custom scene, I observe and hope to understand. To value what’s important – the craftsmanship, classic donor bikes, builders unique styles and taste … Read More ›
10 years ago, the stereotypical Cafe Racer would be Honda CB based. But times change and there is a thing called “fashion” – even in the motorcycle world… And right now I believe that the typical donor bike would be: a Virago… specifically with a … Read More ›
Another Inazuma project, another muscle bike. Looks like it is really becoming my mission to promote GSX1200 based transformations. But this time it’s not a cafe racer build… but a Scrambler – by Massimiliano Satta. This build really reminds me of my own project in many … Read More ›
I had a pleasure to visit Kashubia region (town of Przywidz, north of Poland) this weekend, where Custom Days event took place. Guys from Cafe Racer Club Poland, as usual, stood up to the task and it was fun. There were some unique builds present (including The Watkins … Read More ›
Why are there hardly any Triumphs on this blog? I have a theory… I simply like Triumph as a brand, they meet my taste with their product range (not only the retro bikes but also the modern ones, like Speed / Street Triple or the … Read More ›
How to make a boring Honda Hornet cool? Make it retro! I personally believe – that we will be seeing more and more of this kind of “retro-mods” in the future. I’m honestly quite surprised that no workshop has proposed a “kit” to modify a … Read More ›
Today we’re back to basics. Slovenia located Krakenhead Customs rebuilt this beautiful retro Kawasaki KZ1000 J model from 1981 into a restomodded beauty. This build is definitely a vision above sticking to the rules or complying with any segment rules. It’s not a clean cafe … Read More ›
Yesterday I almost finished a post… rant about new Suzuki SV Cafe Racer. I was obviously triggered by this hideous BMW R NineT G/S I saw yesterday… Trying to figure out what is going on with the market. But I decided to wait it out 🙂 … Read More ›
Let’s go down a memory lane… And feature an old build. I’ve been watching Revival Cycles Youtube channel for quite a while (especially regarding their Motogadget tutorials). So it’s about time to feature one of their builds – Ducati 900SS J63 from 2015. After examining … Read More ›
About a week ago I featured Suzuki Quintessence build from Cardsharper Customs (which AFAIK is still for sale at the moment of writing this post). And now they’re back again, with another unique build. This time it’s “the brick” – BMW K100 “Camouflage”. Somehow this small … Read More ›
Macco Motors are one of my favorites. They specialize in Triumphs. But I remember them because of their take on the Suzuki Katana – “Iron Fist”. A build that inspired my interest in this model. And it ended up with finishing one last year. So I … Read More ›
That title doesn’t say much? Doesn’t it? No wonder, as today’s build is quite special. Not only because it originated in my home city – Gdańsk (Poland). It’s because I’ve never seen anything like this before. I had a chance to see this machine live … Read More ›
