There are 2 kinds of builds. One: the builds made by professional/amateur builders. Where everything is estimated and counted… Every working hour, component or accessory bought, installed, fabricated, outsourced is added. Put a donor bike on top… and some margin – and … Read More ›
Honda Hornet is not the first bike that comes to mind when You think about customising. But it turns out, as I was quite surprised myself – that it makes a great “Cafe Racer” styled motorcycle. I managed to select … Read More ›
This is a build that You don’t meet often: Kawasaki with a boxer engine?! Looks familiar. Maybe, the cylinder head cover might seem like something You’ve seen, but not placed horizontally! And there is something wrong with the name. W400? What … 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 … Read More ›
It’s time for a scrambler build. Well… I know that this is not really a Scrambler when You take on to modify a dual-sport motorcycle, a segment that is already where it should be. But hey, Yamaha XT sits between … Read More ›
Suzuki Bandit. Quite an icon, that is a perfect reflection of Suzuki philosophy: a good and affordable motorcycle, with a brilliant engine coming from a full family of legendary oil-cooled units… It’s just their way – to release a bike … Read More ›
This build from 2015 is quite remarkable. I’d like it to be a prediction of a new era of custom motorcycles. I can see it slowly launching and gaining momentum. I don’t know how big will it be, but personally – … 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 … Read More ›
“The beast” from Spain. This is a turbocharged Kawasaki KZ1000 Drag Bike. It doesn’t look like a straight to the track performance machine. There is a stylish and temperamental touch to it, except the pure power of the visible engineering. But don’t get distracted by this bespoke, … Read More ›
I will admit, that I don’t know much about Nuovo Falcone. This fact is something that will change pretty soon; I’ll dig a little deeper to familiarise myself with the story. But I do know two things right now: Nuovo Falcone is … Read More ›
The Ducati Pantah. I have a weak spot for this motorcycle. I like its story and origins – which are material for a “History of…” type of post, that will come soon. It was never the most successful or groundbreaking … Read More ›
There are three types of builds. One: builds that follow the criteria of a particular segment. Two: builds that break the rules of pt one – on purpose, often brave and controversial experiments that not everybody likes, and sometimes end up … Read More ›
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 ›
