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 ›

The XSR900 series… One one hand – Yamaha did a great job with the MT series. These machines are up to the task. They offer extraordinary performance and ride quality for a very competitive price. But… on the other hand – I don’t get that … Read More ›
I’m pretty hyped recently. I feel like a kid that’s just got a new toy. A toy he’s been wishing for many months. And the dream just came through. I bought a 1993 Suzuki GSX-F 1100. A very neglected bike, that’s been through a lot… … Read More ›
Honda CBX1000 is one of the most iconic motorcycles of all times. It was a result of a historically brief battle of displacements and engine building philosophy, that was aimed to test the limits of sports bikes segment… and it failed miserably. A market experiment that … Read More ›
It’s been a while since my last Top 5 post. And about a year and a half from the previous Honda GL1000 GoldWing list. The builders were busy – as this majestic creature; an ultimate touring machine from the past is getting more and more popular … Read More ›
It’s time to get back to work after Christmas and New Year Holidays… Time to summarise the year that was very important to this blog, as it was the first whole year when I started to take this thing seriously. The following list is built … 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 ›
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 that is reliable, simple and … 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 ›
Kawasaki Zephyr is an underappreciated classic (at least in some regions of the world). It looks nice. It is a proper tribute to a legendary Kawasaki Z1. Every single version is an inline four, air-cooled, twin cam. They even released a couple of series with spoked wheels. … 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 able to “ride in” the … 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 ›
It’s about time to present this list. There is hardly any model from the Japanese that is more associated with customisation. SR400 (and 500 on some markets) is one of the most recognised motorcycles of the world. The recipe for the SR was simple, take … 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 ›
Let’s stay on the BMW builds listing. This time BMW R-series Top 10… A donor bike such characteristic and common, that You have a lot to choose from. There are literally hundreds of them. Personally, I’m not a big fan of this base since most … Read More ›
