Yes. It’s another naked… a modern classic. Another Suzuki Inazuma. Another muscle bike. Whats more – this build was actually released couple years ago (end of 2014). I remember it quite precisely – since at the time I was working hard on my own Inazuma … Read More ›

I don’t know what it is about Moto Guzzi. Honestly. I usually have a rational explanation why I like/dislike a brand, model or… anything. But with Moto Guzzi – I have no idea what it is, I simply like them and would definitely see one … Read More ›
Here is a shortlist of (subjectively) the nicest Suzuki GSX Inazuma builds. This list is quite personal – as my first build was an Inazuma 1200. I loved this bike – there is something about these oil-cooled Suzuki 1100/1200 engines. Stated many times before – … Read More ›
I just noticed that this blog was recently quite one-sided regarding the type of featured motorcycles. XJR 1300, Z1000, Four modern classics and a Franken Gixxer with a B12 engine. It’s a pretty muscular setup. So I decided to get a little lower with engine … Read More ›
Suzuki GSX-R Cafe Racer. Can this sentence be true? Well, if you are a purist geek – then no. Suzuki is not a British brand, it’s not from the 60s. So – it’s not a cafe racer. But… if you’ll reach for the roots of … Read More ›
2006 Kawasaki Z1000 – Classic fighter? Street tracker? Who would have thought that this bike has such potential to become a modern classic… I was thinking about buying a Honda Hornet 900 and putting on a classic CB tank myself. Combining modern naked, it’s handling … Read More ›

I’m not a big fan of a BMW R NineT. I know… The ride is flawless, it’s sharp and responsive, sounds great and in theory has the full capacity to become a cult neo-classic (well, it probably is already)… But it doesn’t look right for … Read More ›
If someone asked me – who makes the most beautiful motorcycles… Without any hesitation, I’d reply that it’s the British and the Italians. The UK would be the first place for me. As a hardcore Cafe Racer enthusiast – the answer can be only one. … Read More ›
Yes! It’s another Yamaha… But it’s not a Virago! And it’s quite a beautiful cafe racer. And it’s the essence of what this blog is about. You can see that it’s not perfect. Not “like new”, but it was composed with good proportions and with … Read More ›
What would be the best award for a custom bike building garage? What would give the most satisfaction to a bike builder? I think it would be the moment when a big motorcycle manufacturer asks You to build a custom, based on a brand new … Read More ›
What can You do with almost perfect retro naked from BMW? Well, actually I don’t like R Nine T at all… as I find it over-designed and too complicated regarding line… but most of the people love it… You can take it… disassemble it… modify, … Read More ›
