If I were to guess without knowing the facts, I would say that this must be an Italian motorcycle. It just looks so good – that it had to come from the Modena region. Well, we are not that far … Read More ›
This build is actually a representative of a short series motorcycle line- by Lucky Custom from Argentina. It’s their 67th project, but 6th (and the latest) of “The Cobra” series. And I have to say – that this build is fantastic. … Read More ›
The Pantah… one of my all-time Dream Garage members. This youngtimer is more important to the history of Ducati motorcycles than many people remember. It was the Pantah, with its belt-driven cams, desmo valves, 90° L-Twin and iconic trellis frame … Read More ›
Another build from Mandrill Garage. But so much different than the previous one (link here). Previously I featured a nice and easy scrambler based on the Kawasaki W800. This time it’s a complete mix of styles, segments and almost sci-fi … Read More ›
About this build, I needed to consider into what category it goes in. By stretching the definition – I put it into (Contemporary) Cafe racer type. As it kind of fits the meaning, I wrote about (here), quite nicely while … Read More ›
This motorcycle is an example of one unique approach to building a cafe racer. The composition of the airbrushed tank, wooden tail section and bright colours. In the builder’s words: It all started with a challenge from a client. If we … Read More ›
Suzuki GN400 is quite a rare donor bike. It’s been featured here once – a few months back as a project from Ventus Garage; This is the second build based on this bike. I guess that it got cancelled just … Read More ›
Cycle Guide claimed in 1980 that Honda CB750F with its new 77-hp engine can “accelerate with the fury of a one-litre hyperbike” and possessed “magical cornering qualities never before found on a four-cylinder street bike.” Although this upgraded 750 didn’t … Read More ›
I was looking forward to seeing Jacek Mulak’s new creation, that was teased here and there on the forums and groups… And here it is. Cardsharper Custom’s take on this quite mediocre, but yet – iconic donor motorcycle. Honda CX500 … Read More ›
Lightweight, single cylinder enduro segment wouldn’t be complete without the Yamaha XT600. Just like with the XJR – XT was also manufactured for decades. Yamaha has a talent for building reliable and versatile motorcycles, that stand the test of time … Read More ›
I was never a hardcore fan of the Monster looks (in this case – it’s an S4R version from 2004). I love the way it rides, the sound, the philosophy. But it doesn’t speak to me regarding the appearance. Even … Read More ›
I was just about to feature a Ducati build. Based on a Monster donor bike, with a vintage vibe and candy looking paint and stylish titanium exhaust. As it was a build based on a really fast version of the … Read More ›
Every interesting BMW model is described in source material with a quote: “Producer introduced this motorcycle to stop being labelled as boring”. It seems like an impossible task. For decades trying to break the stereotype, that just doesn’t let go. … Read More ›
Kawasaki Zephyr is an underappreciated classic (at least in some regions of the world). It looks nice. It is a proper tribute to a legendary Kawasaki Z1. Every single version is an inline four, air-cooled, twin cam. They even released a couple … Read More ›
KTM LC4… the whole Supermoto segment – while being an obvious step up in the evolution of a Scrambler, a vintage offroader born in the 1930’s… Ultra lightweight and versatile… simple, rough and cheap. Often called a “fun bike”… usually … Read More ›
