Moto Guzzi Cafe Racers, Scramblers and Trackers are listed here
Lino Tonti’s timeless design is always my favourite choice of donor bike to write about. Kaffeemaschine appears like the best choice when it comes to customising Moto Guzzi motorcycles. They seem to be to the Italian brand what AMG is for Mercedes. A factory tuner … Read More ›
Some time ago I wrote about the monumental Kawasaki Z1300. There were also multiple posts about Honda CBX1000. But we never had one about the third player of the six-cylinder team – the Benelli Sei. Why is that? How can it be that the first … Read More ›
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 You got Yourself a final … 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 debate here never ends… reaches … 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 not the best looking Italian … 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. Although they specialize in Triumph … 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. Whether – to leave it … 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 – it was the most majestic … Read More ›
When You think about MotoGuzzi Bellagio… What comes to Your mind? For most people… it probably is “MotoGuzzi… What?”. For those who actually noticed this model on the market, it would be something like: “Meeh”… And no wonder. This model didn’t live long. Didn’t make … Read More ›
We stay in Italy. Let’s end this week focusing on style. As this build is not about the rarity of the donor bike or the performance. No USD front fork swap, flat slides or Ohlins suspension. It’s about a… weekend ride. Dusting off the motorcycle and going … Read More ›
It’s time for something fresh, after recent Yamaha overload. I don’t know how I overlooked this fact – but the last 3 posts were about this Japanese brand. Let’s reset a little. I had this one sitting in the drafts folder for a while now. … Read More ›
There is a hashtag on Instagram #motorcycleart… And that makes me think… Can a motorcycle be considered a work of art? My English skill doesn’t allow me to elaborate deeply into some philosophical discussion with my own words. I need to get to some external … Read More ›
