The Honda CG125 isn’t the most spectacular Honda out there. In fact, it’s a cheap and efficient machine with a simple purpose: transportation. Some may even call the Honda CG125 a moped. But despite the fact that this little fellow isn’t as fast as it’s bigger brothers, it’s still a fun […]

It’s always fun to receive an email from Grzegorz Korczak of Unikat Motorworks. Every time he surprises me with his wide variety of builds. Were some builders tend to have a preference for a certain brand or type, Grzegorz just works on all kinds of bikes. With a clear philosophy of his builds “1 […]

Back in September, I got in touch with Bolt Motor Co. from Valencia in Spain. They amazed me with this beautiful, redefined version of the Honda CB750. Today they’ve amazed me again with this awesome BMR R100RS Scrambler. The last time I saw a BMW R-series like this, was back in […]

My friend Pepo Rosell from XTR Pepo is one of those builders that simply keeps on going and going. You can almost set a timer on it to expect a new build from him. While he has a strong legacy with Ducati’s, he’s never afraid to take on a non-mainstream base […]

And next to always searching the web for cool bikes to write about, I really like to receive bike submissions from builders. And of […]

Two years ago, Honda showed their Honda CB4 Concept at the EICMA 2015 in Milan. Now, almost two years later, Honda is teasing us with some more pictures of the Honda CB4, which is likely to get its market introduction on the EICMA 2017 next month. With the Honda CB4, Honda will […]

If you say KTM, I instantly think: small displacement, huge fun factor. And that’s just what KTM is all about. So I can’t help it to have a little crush on customized KTM’s. It’s a pity that KTM still is a relatively small brand for road bikes and that KTM doesn’t […]
