End of year is near… time to summarize 2019. Few general comments though. First of all – yes, I was a little lazy this year. I managed to create only about half of the posts made in 2018. On my defence I have that most of … Read More ›

Ducati Cafe Racers, Scramblers, Brats and Trackers are listed here
The work of Vibrazioni Art Design is like nothing else. I love their sense of style and aesthetics. I could have their bikes sitting in the living room near the fireplace and just look at them. Of course, I would rather ride these creations as … Read More ›
Ducati MH900e is one of the most iconic motorcycles from Bologne. Pierre Terblanche’s design makes most of his creations instant classics. One of my top 3 favourite bucket list bikes came from this guy: Ducati SportClassic – it happened a few years after the MH900e. … Read More ›
GT1000 is a brilliant bike. A Ducati’s answer to the growing nostalgia on the market of motorcycles. A short-lived series, as probably they were about 5-10 years too soon with the concept. But the “Sport Classic” line is spectacular. The GT version was a “Grand … Read More ›
Lucca Ricci’s workshop is young. Their facebook profile that is the only place for the online presence is only little over a half year’s old. I’ve featured his first build based on Honda Hornet here last November. A Ducati 848 from Officina Ricci, that caught … 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 is a definition of metal … 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 statistics – I know that … Read More ›
Let’s take a break from the Honda CB750 world. And switch to the other, more exotic end of the scale. It takes a brave man to take on the task of modifying the Ducati Diavel. I honestly tried to build a Top 5 list of Diavels … Read More ›
This Ducati Monster 620 was rebuilt for Tomasz Źródłowski, who is one of the best bartenders in Poland. When he’s not competing in the Havana Grand Prix, he works in a well-known drink bar in Cracow – Mercy Brown. Why am I mentioning this? This motorcycle will be … Read More ›
Recently I got involved in a debate with a fellow blogger (Jabok from youngtimerbike24.pl), about what makes an excellent Youngtimer candidate among modern motorcycle models. It is obviously not just the age of the bike. We can find multiple examples that despite reaching proper age… … 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 Pantah is so overlooked! I … 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 machine released by the Ducati, … 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 (with the engine as a … 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 philosophising about the fashion for … 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 when approached by the artists … Read More ›
