“You’ll have guessed, we have a soft spot for the ’70s…” this is how the description of this build begins on the Felix Motocyclette website. This Yamaha XS650 is built based on the ’79 model… It has the engine that … Read More ›
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 ›

Oh dear… It’s another Honda Dominator Scrambler build. Well… What can You do? These bikes are having a well-earned renaissance in the hands of custom workshops. This time – this is not an Italian, but Polish build. This Dominator was modified … Read More ›
Despite that, the trend for “retro-modding” old dual-sport bikes is well and kicking, I still can’t get accustomed to the transformation of the looks these motorcycles go through. Just look at this build and then on the original bike. It’s … Read More ›
I was very interested when I read the press release for this bike, as I would have never imagined this kind of build and a reason behind the technical concept. The story reaches ten years back, right now it is in … 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 … 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 ›
