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 ›
I love the Kawasaki ZRX1200R model. I own one – last year of production: 2006, in the only colour available that year – brilliant Kawasaki Green. It is a very universal machine. It does the job as a daily ride, puts a smile on my … Read More ›
You might remember the small series production Nembo 32. It is a custom build of a different level… and a unique concept of a motorcycle as a whole. A really unique new motorcycle: no bike is alike… The project started in 2008. The main idea … 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 ›

Let’s continue with the Pantah tribute texts. This motorcycle and its creators deserve more recognition than they seem to have. I own a “Motorcycles” book, which glances through the decades of motorcycles development. There are multiple Ducati’s or Cagiva’s described, but Pantah is so overlooked! I … Read More ›
A motorcycle described as an “Art Piece” on every blog or the builder’s website. I like to consider the range of the word “art” in reference to mass-produced stuff – like a motorcycle (You can check my thoughts here). The debate here never ends… reaches … Read More ›
