Restomod motorcycles are featured here, from classic to youngtimer bikes. This is a group of modded rides that aim to improve performance while staying close to the original form or completely rebuilding the machines to improve performance, but without any definition of style.

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 ›
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 ›
I genuinely have a weak spot for this bike. And (surprisingly) it’s not because of Tom Cruise in Top Gun. It was up to the GPZ900R Ninja vs Suzuki GSX-S Katana when I was choosing my donor bike for the custom build. I was inspired … Read More ›
I will always be a big fan of oil-cooled Suzuki bikes. I had an Inazuma myself (GSX1200). Loved the bike, the looks and the powerplant. Therefore I’m pleased to show another one of the species – this time it comes from Marseille, France. Banb Motorcycles … Read More ›
Kawasaki KZ1000 (known as Z1000 on the markets outside the US) is an underappreciated classic. That is a very polarising motorcycle. On the one hand – it’s been around for decades – serving mostly as the police bike since 1977 up until 2005. It won … Read More ›

I wanted to build a Top 5 post that would include the Suzuki Bandit builds. A motorcycle that’s been around for over two decades. At its premiere – it was the ultimate UJM, good looking and powered by a widely recognized oil-cooled family of engines. … Read More ›
This thing was all over the web recently. I was hesitating if I should follow and put it here. I decided to do it – for 1 reason: it’s really not often when You see a CBX750 modified. Most of the builders go for a … Read More ›
When You look for a donor bike to customize – there are tons of options for You. You can either go “mainstream” – and choose a Virago or CX500… these two are actually really boring and not interesting bases, but yet – they became the … Read More ›
I just discovered this website – motoborgotaro.com. I saw few of their builds over the years, featured on blog pages and in the press. But I never checked their online presence. And what a treat this is. I’ve been browsing for about an hour now. And … Read More ›
This build is quite unique for a couple of reasons. It’s not just about the turbocharging a stock KZ650. What just by itself would be an impressive restomod. This particular Kawasaki KZ650 was built by Ezio Covelli of Magnum Opus Custom Bikes from Wilmington, NC. … Read More ›
This little Honda is a perfect definition of a UJM Restomod. UJM stands for Universal Japanese Motorcycle. And Honda changed the world when they launched their CB series. This particular 360 is a smaller, 2 cylinder brother of the CB-Fours. And what grabbed my attention … 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 ›
