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.
Here you’ll find everything from classic Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki or Yamaha… to the latest Triumph, Ducati and Moto Guzzi.
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 ›
Quite recently some nice news appeared… Kawasaki confirmed a motorcycle, that is a nice retro segment addition… which in their case – was a little underperforming when compared to Honda or Yamaha… But there is hope now – they just announced Kawasaki Z900 RS. In my … Read More ›
So here it is. My choice to pick up this base for a “cafe racer” build: 1982 Suzuki GSX750S Katana. After almost two years since I bought the bike in boxes – it’s officially published:) I aimed to make something unique, contemporary and improved over the … Read More ›
Just got back from vacation. Little shock therapy to get back to real life 🙂 Here’s something pretty old. But I have a weak spot for Kawasaki GPZ900R “Ninja” and Bull Dock GT-M series. So this is it – thoroughly professional restomod of this beauty. … Read More ›
GSX 1200 Inazuma is a quite poorly recognized muscle bike from Suzuki. I don’t know why is that, to be honest. You have all it takes to make a good retro naked – legendary oil cooled engine, that Suzuki used in many machines… Beautiful design, … 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 ›
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 ›
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 ›
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 ›
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 ›
Old but gold. I’m a big Icon 1000 fan. Their clothing fits perfectly to the “custom” scene. And the bikes they make… I like all of them. I already featured a Suzuki Katana by Icon 1000. A motorcycle especially close to me as I’m just finishing … Read More ›
Amazing project. Nothing like You’ve seen before. I know it’s been out there for quite a while already, but it’s amazing to look at. This Suzuki Katana has a swapped and tuned Suzuki 1200 engine and performance suspension… Also it’s been an inspiration for my more … Read More ›
Amazing #Kawasaki #GPZ750 that I absolutely love. Starting from the paint, the mods (#restomod) and all round backgroud from the builder. Another great machine saved and… improved. Source: Kawasaki GPz750 – (Don’t Call it A Cafè Racer) by Paul Hutchison’s Custom Motorcycles
