Another build that went under the radar. And it certainly has few nice styling touches to it. And the donor bike itself is quite an iconic power bike: CB1100F… producing around 108 bhp (*100 on the European market). It was quite … Read More ›
Featuring a CB750 is a tricky thing. Generally – we’ve seen it all. CB Four stock is a thing of beauty – spoked wheels, one of the best-looking air cooled engines ever and the iconic tank. Just put on some … Read More ›
I almost posted a long-awaited CB750 build… But I can’t help it when I see an Italian performance machine… turned into an old-school street racer. Ducati’s most successful take on the “cafe racer” concept was a brilliant looking Sport Classic. Surprisingly … Read More ›
I wanted to build a Top 5 post that would include the Suzuki Bandit builds. A motorcycle that’s been around for over two decades. At its premiere – it was the ultimate UJM, good looking and powered by a widely … Read More ›
Mr Martini is a Verona (Italy) located workshop name, that somehow goes under the radar of the biggest blogs. And yet – they release multiple, high quality builds and win at least one or two major awards for them every year. … Read More ›
A few weeks back I visited Wroclaw (Poland) – 4-hour drive from Warsaw, for a small, but a very climatic venue – Kustom Konwent (polish phonetic spelling of a Custom Convent phrase). It was the 5th edition of this show. … Read More ›
Ahhhh… The Ducati Sport Classic. I love them. Every single one – either stock or modified. You can’t go wrong with a Sport 1000. I’ve never seen a bad custom based on this model. Well, maybe I have, but… they … Read More ›
Not many of the motorcycles I ever tested left a mark like the Speed Triple. The particular model that stormed my “bucket list” was a green 955i. The aspect that impressed me the most – was how easy I was … Read More ›
A post from an archive. I remember seeing this thing in 2014 before I even started thinking about this blog. I know that this is not a “Cafe Racer” build or any other modern segment that I usually write about. … Read More ›
I don’t know if it’s me changing the front or maybe the smell of Autumn on the horizon… but again – Scrambler build is featured. This time is not based on an enduro bike, but quite the opposite – on a … Read More ›
Again… build based on a small enduro, single cylinder engine, cooled by air. These machines are getting more and more popular to customize. It’s not a surprise, since in general all of those, while stock – look really awful and … Read More ›
Triumph Bonneville is a quintessence of a daily ride. A definition of a Universal Motorcycle. With the looks reaching to the 60’s, and the same old concept of the engine. That is famous for its durability, thanks to the around 800cc … Read More ›
Kawasaki Zephyr needs no introduction. Good looking neo-classic that evolved into a muscle bike: ZRX. Which in R version – that I own – has a lifetime with me. So I’m naturally sentimental regarding this particular line of Kawasaki naked … Read More ›
This post started out of curiosity. Is it possible to find and compare multiple custom builds based on such an iconic and rare donor bike? There is always a choice to make when You own some unique and exotic motorcycle. … Read More ›
Long, narrow, with characteristic longitudinal* V2 (ok… it’s an Italian bike, so it’s not longitudinal, it’s transverse – as they categorize them the opposite way the rest of the world does). With its bikini fairing over the Aprilia headlight – … Read More ›
