Yamaha XJR 1300 doesn’t need any special introduction. It’s a legendary muscle bike. My favourite class of motorcycles. It’s a complete and perfect naked machine when it’s stock. But Yamaha is very active to promote customizations of their machines. They have a “Yamaha Yard Build” … Read More ›
The Grand Prix. The bike has it all – unique looks, craftsmanship and… the story. And… it does stand out from the crowd. It was built by Curtis Miller from Ardent Motorcycles in Milford, Michigan as a tribute to Japanese race bikes from 1960’s. But … Read More ›
And we’re back from short vacation. This time it’s something smaller. But it’s to be expected when You’re featuring a build from India. This is where Motokraft Customs is located. And they took on a Kawasaki… actually multiple Kawasaki’s;) And turned them into a Cafe … Read More ›
Norley… If You didn’t already know – is a mix of Norton and Harley motorcycle. In this case – the motorcycle is Norton, and the engine is a 1200 from a Sportster. I think there is some old fashioned vibe to it – Norton is … Read More ›
I like Buells. Because they are different. But not only that it’s the fuel tank in the frame, oil tank in the swing-arm and this big single disc brake in the front. I love the story behind it… As it’s like 1 guy – alone … Read More ›
There are many talented people, who do amazing things in their garages, that unfortunately don’t get into the spotlight of the most influential websites. And this blog is all about this kind of people and builds. It’s my pleasure to present You a truly amazing classic … Read More ›
It’s been a short while since last time the Renard Speed Shop build was featured here (BMW K75). This time, again – it’s a BMW, but the proper… boxer one. BMW R90 series motorcycles… are very popular and You can easily find a ton of builds … Read More ›
Personally – I don’t get the cult surrounding the Yamaha SR 400. Being an amateur bike builder – I never understood the prices of these things. Maybe one day I’ll get that why is it such an important bike, that just recently it got back … Read More ›
Just yesterday I shared on the Facebook profile a movie of a Benelli 750 Sei… I could listen to these six into six exhausts for hours… It’s a beautiful machine with a unique engine and bodywork (and awful looking dashboard)… But Benelli is such a … Read More ›
Something different from cafe racers… a restomod of a Kawasaki Zephyr 750. I’m into muscle bikes and neo-classics. Although this Zephyr is not a top end 1100 version – it’s a retro styled bike that takes loads of inspiration from legendary and one of the most beautiful bikes … Read More ›
It’s quite difficult to find an uncommon base that was built with some extraordinary concept. In most casess it’s either a builder trying to work with a motorcycle that is not often modified… trying to keep it in some particular style definition. Or the other way around – You … Read More ›
This 1975 Moto Guzzi 850T Supernaturale is a real gentleman’s ride. I love the minimalist approach that is so in line with a spirit of a real cafe racer motorcycle. All this with a stylish touch of Italian design and a lot of custom/handmade elements – … Read More ›
And now something less common in the Cafe Racer scene. A quite unlikely base for a concept of a “racer”. But this is exactly what makes it so special. Honda GL1000 Goldwing… 2 years ago – I would say: “I’ve never seen a nice build … Read More ›
Another old build. I remember when I first saw this Honda CB750 online shortly after its release. It was an (almost) perfect Cafe Racer example and inspiration for my “future” build. What I like: The simplicity – clear triangle under the seat, small tacho/speedo, minimalistic mirrors, … Read More ›
Well, I wanted to feature a CX500 as according to some demand – it’s still “the cafe racer” people are looking for all over the web (next to Virago?). But it’s impossible to keep track of all CX builds.So I chose Top 5 Honda CX500 … Read More ›
