Classic motoring enthusiasts know that the golden age of cars was the 60’s. It’s hard to disagree. It’s back then when Jaguar E-Type was born, or a cult classic pony-car Ford Mustang. In the motorcycle world, the golden era would be the next decade – … Read More ›
This build… I don’t know where to start. At first sight – it’s clearly not a “natural” beauty. But if You look deeper, under the facade… It actually has so many cool and out of the box features, that I had to list them, not to … Read More ›
“Vorsprung durch Technik” – is a slogan that Audi invented. In my opinion – it’s marketing BS. What can You do – every brand needs a motto. But it actually fits perfectly to Soichiro Honda and this particular story… a man that had a dream … Read More ›
Following a quite recent Top 5 of Suzuki DR650 post (that was very well received – thanks a lot!)… let’s check what the main competitor of guys from Hamamatsu – Honda, has to offer. It’s difficult to pick a particular model for this Top 5 … Read More ›
There is something about this build that breaks the rules. I’m usually not the “style over substance” guy, but when You look at this CB500 Four from 1973 – modified by Duke Motorcycles… This puristic approach to builds, that should be about performance over style… … Read More ›
Honda CB750 is a legend. One of the most influential motorcycles in the history. One of the most common and well-built example of a UJM… And it’s quite good looking being stock. But… 1992 Honda CB750 – Nighthawk, not so much… It loses the appeal by the … Read More ›
This little Honda is a perfect definition of a UJM Restomod. UJM stands for Universal Japanese Motorcycle. And Honda changed the world when they launched their CB series. This particular 360 is a smaller, 2 cylinder brother of the CB-Fours. And what grabbed my attention … Read More ›
How to make a boring Honda Hornet cool? Make it retro! I personally believe – that we will be seeing more and more of this kind of “retro-mods” in the future. I’m honestly quite surprised that no workshop has proposed a “kit” to modify a … Read More ›
I just noticed that this blog was recently quite one-sided regarding the type of featured motorcycles. XJR 1300, Z1000, Four modern classics and a Franken Gixxer with a B12 engine. It’s a pretty muscular setup. So I decided to get a little lower with engine … Read More ›
It’s difficult to stay on track with modern technology and motorcycles released every year. If You’re a guy who likes to have the best in range, the top model, the fastest, the best looking, the most expensive – whatever… with modern Superbikes – You can’t … Read More ›
Do You sometimes have this “day” when everything goes wrong? Maybe it’s a week? Or the problems are related to a “machine” of some kind? Old motorcycle maybe? 🙂 Everyone who ever had to do anything with old motorcycles – knows this feeling. I had … Read More ›
As a muscle bike ultimate fan – with time – I find myself to gravitate more and more towards lightweight machines. But as far as big neo-classic bikes fit better the cafe racer vibe – street racing, performance upgrades… Lightweight, on the other hand, should … Read More ›
Just yesterday I shared on the Facebook profile a movie of a Benelli 750 Sei… I could listen to these six into six exhausts for hours… It’s a beautiful machine with a unique engine and bodywork (and awful looking dashboard)… But Benelli is such a … Read More ›
And now something less common in the Cafe Racer scene. A quite unlikely base for a concept of a “racer”. But this is exactly what makes it so special. Honda GL1000 Goldwing… 2 years ago – I would say: “I’ve never seen a nice build … Read More ›
Another old build. I remember when I first saw this Honda CB750 online shortly after its release. It was an (almost) perfect Cafe Racer example and inspiration for my “future” build. What I like: The simplicity – clear triangle under the seat, small tacho/speedo, minimalistic mirrors, … Read More ›
