If you say “John Player Special”, the minds of petrolheads will drift away to the days when the black and gold F1-Lotusses dominated the trackes. The cigarette makers sponsored the British team from 1972 till 1986. The combination of that classy black and gold and de successes of drivers like Ayrton […]

Just some eye-candy, but I needed to share this shiny Triumph Thruxton R with you. It’s built by AMR Vittel for Triumph France.

Another piece by Droog Moto. Should I say more about Max & Erica? Nah… Bragged about them already in this, this, this, and this post. Words by Max: This bike was built for a customer out of Seattle, WA. He already owned the donor bike and was after a cafe racer styled […]

Recently I’ve posted the 10 Best Yamaha Virago Cafe Racers, and I guess it already needs an update… This awesome XV920 cafe racer is built by Jakub Beker from Poland and owner of Ugly Motors. The bike was recently featured on another website. Usually, I don’t repost stuff from others, but […]

Since the introduction of the Ducati Scrambler, we’ve all seen that this was a really cool platform for building custom motorcycles. The past two years I’ve featured dozens of them. The meant-to-be-hipster-bike Ducati Scrambler (no I don’t turn the names around like the marketers intended to), is a cool bike from […]

Yes! Another build by our friend and unstoppable builder Pepo Rosell, or better XTR Pepo. If I get an email with his latest build, it’s always a bit exciting. What did he create this time? It’s never a dull bike, and every single creation has something cool. This time he took a […]

Dime City Cycles (DCC) is maybe one of the most familiar names when it comes to aftermarket cafe racer parts. Over the past years, they’ve built a solid brand with an extensive catalog of parts for the custom motorcycle industry. They simply cover everything, let alone their amazing customer support to […]

Royal Enfield has an interesting chapter in motorcycle history. But ever since the bike production and license went to India, it never really got a proper grip on the “western market”. And that’s a pitty, because I really love the big, punchy 500cc single engine. The Continental GT is a really […]

Luis Bertelli, the owner of the Italian Luismoto has a strong relationship with the BMW R nineT. Right after the introduction of BMW retro machine, he saw the huge potential of this bike and create a range of custom versions. I’ve featured some of these bikes earlier: a beautiful BMW R […]

The Ducati 750SS is one of those machines with a long history. For most Ducatisti’s it’s a desirable machine, for others, it’s an expensive machine, hard to ride and probably a little less value for money than you may expect (at that time). Whatever “they” say, it sure has something magic. […]

The Suzuki GSX-R1100 is one of those early era superbikes and it was the top of the line for Suzuki for more than two decades. The last oil-cooled model from 1992 put out a massive 145hp at 10,000rpm. A genuine crotch rocket with an engine that was bulletproof. Dino Maltoni from Dino […]

Straight from our southern neighbors in Belgium: an incredible Triumph Speed Triple Custom. The guys from Motokouture turned their hands on this 1050cc triple monster and turned into into something that looks a lot like dark art. Owner Steven Decaluwe started back in 2007 and has, next to his leather business, […]

I’m happy to post another cool build by a true shed builder. It’s build by Chris Brennan and based on a 1978 Honda CB550. Chris was looking at this machine for almost 25 years now, while it was rusting away in the garage. With a mechanical background, Chris figured out that […]
