Kymco is a brand most of us know from their scooters and mopeds. I can remember a time here in Holland that every rave-party-die-hard rode one, wearing bomber jacks and Nike Air Max…The successful Taiwanese manufacturer of motor powered two wheelers now wants to shake things more up, aiming at a […]

Yamaha Virago’s and that Benelli Mojave tank… It seems to be a golden combo. And to be honest, I still like to see them. I’ve even featured two custom Virago’s with the same kind of setup in our last monthly overview. Though, still completely different, just like this Virago 1000 Cafe […]

Our friends from VTR Customs are 100% BMW fanatics and we’ve seen a lot of cool builds leaving their shop. Remember this cool BMW R1200R Café Racer? Or what about this brutal custom R NineT? So you’ll get it that I’lI keep a close eye on them. This is their latest […]

As a motorcycle enthusiast it’s impossible to mis one of the worlds biggest racing events; the legendary Isle of Man TT. I’m a big fan of Guy Martin, who’s always battling the other legend; Michael Dunlop. History was made in the opening race of the 2016 Isle of Man TT races, as Michael […]

The BMW R-series is one of the most used cafe racer base bikes, and that’s for different reasons. They are cool, reliable, stand out for (German) quality, are rideable and powerful. And those air cooled 2 cylinders just sound awesome. Not forget the fact that there are tons of them still […]

Beautiful interpretation of the brutal 1200cc rocket by V’Spirit Motorworks this Ducati Monster 1200 Café Racer (or café figher as you wish), called “Valkyrie”:

A Buell is something special from it’s own and we don’t see them too often in the custom scene, but still; I’ve featured some cool Buell’s already. Remember the aggressive XB12 SCM R? Or the XB12R Café Racer? This Buell XB9 Café Racer I found on Facebook and is built by […]

Donny from Studio Motor seems unstoppable; he’s delivering bike after bike and every time it’s something special. I’ve already featured many of his builds and this latest build is also worth sharing. Donny likes to work on all types of bikes and this time he took a 2012 KTM Duke 200 […]

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 […]

The title of this post, Harley Sportster Café Racer is a bit misleading; it only uses the engine of a Sportster, all other parts are custom or from other bikes. This beauty is built by Ardent Motorcycles. Founder Curtis Miller has worked as “an artist” the last 30 years, mainly fabricating custom furniture. His background […]

If you say triple cylinder, you say Triumph. The English brand has a long history of three inline motorcycle engines and used it on a wide range of their bikes. I instantly fell in love with the Street Triple after I switched the ignition on. The triple engines are more popular than […]

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 […]

VTR Customs from Switzerland is known for their great work on BMW’s and it seems that they have a slight preference for the already legendary R NineT (check out this cool R NineT Café Racer build by them). So to add a little variety in their builds they took another base bike. Since VTR […]

In today’s custom motorcycle scene we see a lot of builds based on Honda’s, BMW’s & Triumph’s. No problem at all, but if someone is walking a different road by selecting a more odd base bike, it gets my instant attention. The last time I’ve featured a custom motorcycle based on a Buell was in […]

A near perfect Honda GL500 café racer, an even brutal as rare Benelli streetfighter, a cool concept bike from Honda, a sexy BMW R80 from Holland, another BMW café racer based on a R100 and as a bonus something very special based on a Belgian FN (a bike which I actually own!). […]

It’s always cool to see great build from your own country and with a constantly growing scene, there is a lot of cool stuff coming from Holland. This bike is from Moto Adonis and based on a ’79 BMW R100RS. This awesome BWM R100RS is not a typical café racer, scrambler […]
