This is the first Honda CB1000R featured here. I’m not the biggest fan of contemporary custom bikes. Being retro-oriented, I find the classic look and old school bikes more appealing. Being also pragmatic and having the knowledge from this blog … Read More ›
After the Benelli Leoncino, it’s time for another Italian bike – the Ducati. This build is also a kind of a “shapeshifter”, but I think that would be the only thing these two custom bikes have in common. This thing … Read More ›
I was able to see, touch, hear this motorcycle last weekend. It was on Warsaw Motorcycle Show. First of all – I wasn’t aware that Leoncino existed until a couple of months ago when Jacek Mulak (founder of Cardsharper Customs) … 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 … Read More ›
I had a bad few last days. Couldn’t find any inspiration to do something new with this blog, Neither could I work on my bikes, as I was expecting a new motorcycle stand to arrive, to help me operate on … Read More ›

Macco Motors will always have a special place on this website. It was one of their builds, that pushed me to search for and then modify my Suzuki GSX750S “Katana”. It was the “Iron Fist” that started it all along with … Read More ›
I was watching the teasers on the Unik Edition Instagram account, anticipating when this motorcycle will eventually arrive. It is finally here. And it looks awesome. Ducati has their way of doing things. Having some insight based on this blog’s … Read More ›
