The work of Vibrazioni Art Design is like nothing else. I love their sense of style and aesthetics. I could have their bikes sitting in the living room near the fireplace and just look at them. Of course, I would rather ride these creations as … Read More ›
This year’s motto for the Yamaha Yard Built is “Back to the Dirt”. This seems like a spot on concept – as Yamaha doesn’t have any retro scramblers for sale currently. This way, they will address this segment a little. Another thing is that… we … Read More ›
If I’m counting correctly – this would be at least third DR650 build by Le French Atelier. It seems like they fancy this unlikely donor bike for custom conversion. Interestingly – every one of their builds is different. They didn’t create a “canon” of styling … Read More ›
This is a build of a different origin than most bikes presented here. It’s based on almost a century old frame, coming from Douglas EW350. A hundred-year-old thing… makes You respect the donor bike even more. Especially when the builders decide to go with the … Read More ›

I’ve met Ben Hall from Valespeed Motorcycles on one of the Facebook groups. Groups related to what we do here – Cafe Racers/Scramblers, where he published few shots of this motorcycle! I have no idea how is it a Cafe Racer or anything of the … Read More ›

Seems like my drifting towards offroad and the other genre of builds is unstoppable. But I’m happy about this. It makes the bikes featured here more diverse. From a hardcore, kevlar fitted racetrack builds, to a lightweight dual-sports converted into a style icon. I’m also pleased when … Read More ›
Suzuki GN400 is an easily overlooked donor bike. Everybody goes crazy with the Yamaha’s SR series. And Suzuki – seems like it doesn’t get the credit it deserves from the builders. Probably because of the stock tank and a general line – that doesn’t look too … 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 ›
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 ›
