A lot of beautiful custom motorcycles around the web this month: we’ve selected the most outstanding bikes for you. This month we have another amazing bike from (Ducati) legend XTR Pepo, a radical BMW R nineT from Australia, a BMW S1000R from Switzerland a Honda NX650 from South Africa and last […]

Fashion and design working together: Thierry Langlois, owner of fashion brand “Atelier 5” has an eye for design and has a strong passion for motorsports. So why not combine those two must Thierry have thought. In “Flash 76“, a French Yamaha dealer, he found a technical partner who could build his bike. It […]

Today I got an e-mail of Grzegorz Korczak from Unikat (thanks buddy!) with a bunch of pictures of his recent finished project: a custom Yamaha SR125 Scrambler named “Clockwork Orange”. We know Grzegorz from an earlier feature here on the blog, a cool Honda CB550 SL Custom. Just like the Honda, this Yamaha is full […]

First of all: this is not a recent build, but dates back to 2014. But there was noting to find about on the web, but I think this cool Yamaha XS650 Café Racer deserves a little bit attention. It’s based on a 1980 XS650 and the modifications are minor; it could be […]

The shortest month of the year is behind us, days here in Holland are getting longer, the sun becomes stronger and we can almost take out our rides without freezing off… For this month we’ve also made a selection of, in our opinion, the best custom motorcycles around the web. This […]

First of all: the title of this post is not in line with the actual cylinder capacity: since this Yamaha XS650 Scrambler by Dime City Cycles is based on a stock XS650, it’s fitted with a big bore kit what makes this a XS744 Scrambler. The base bike was a 1980 […]

Found a great Yamaha XV750 Virago Café Racer by VTR Customs. This is one of the builds they’ve displayed at Swiss Moto 2016. I really like what these guys are doing, remember the awesome BMW R NineT we’ve featured earlier.  

With the Yamaha Yard Build program, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer is aiming his arrows at the booming custom motorcycle scene. The program seeks for inspirational ideas on how to transform modern Yamaha bikes to something “special”. It’s “Faster Sons” philosophy, where modern bikes are inspired by there ancestors gave us the already […]

A lot of us started our 2-wheel hobby on a loud, smelly and smokey 2-stroke (I certainly did!). Too bad that youngsters here in Holland are more and more skipping this cool phase. Due to the fact that they can start with (car) driving lessons on the age of 16. It’s also […]

Yamaha has a long history of building powerful sport bikes. Back in 1978, when the XS1100 was introduced (also called XS Eleven or XS11), it was the most powerful and largest displacement Japanese motorcycle on the market with an amazing 95hp, which is transferred to the rear wheel trough a shaft drive. […]

The Yamaha Virago is a becoming more and more popular as a base bike for café racers. Despite the odd lines of the original machine, it can be turned into something beautiful. And one of the best parts of the Virago is the powerful V-twin engine. Good for us is that […]

Donny Ariyanto from Studio Motor is someone who knows how to design and build a custom motorcycle. This is not the first creation that we’ve featured, so please be sure to check out this awesome CB1000 Café Racer and the tiny Yamaha Scorpio Café Racer. This time Donny took the challenge […]

It was just a matter of time for the Yamaha XSR900 to come. After the successful launch of the Yamaha XSR700, Yamaha decided to power up their range of retro bikes. This bike is a great add-on to todays modern classics. This time with the already legendary 850cc triple cylinder of […]

Also check out the Yamaha XSR900! The Yamaha Yard Built program stimulates custom bike builders to come up with cool designs based on stock Yamaha bikes. The main requirement is that the built doesn’t need welding or frame cutting. If a project is successful, the builders are able to create their […]

The Yamaha Virago is a very popular base bike for a cafe racer project. The creator of this bike, David Bailey, not only wanted a “head turner” but also a bike which can be ridden daily. He found a XV920 in poor state and took it under his wings. He completely […]

Modern classics are very popular these days so motorcycle manufacturers all want a piece of this growing market. Just like Yamaha: they revealed a cool concept bike at the AIMExpo last week, the Yamaha DT-07 Flat Track. Yamaha’s US Racing Division worked together with Jeff Palhegyi Design (JPD) and created a custom frame and […]
