Last week I’ve featured this awesome custom Kawasaki W800 and I was complaining about the fact that the I only see a few Kawasaki W-series being customized. Call it a coincidence or just randomness, but today I’ve found another custom W. This time it’s a cool looking Kawasaki W650 Brat built […]

The Kawasaki KL650 is one of those “rocks” in the Kawasaki line-up. Introduced in 1987 and still running strong with only one major update back in 2008. A bike built for a straight purpose: reach every possible outback on two wheels with one massive 651cc single cylinder engine in between. The […]

Yes! A new build from our Dutch fellows of Wrench Kings! Last year they’ve shown us what they are capable of with their cool Honda GL500 Café Racer and this time a Kawasaki Z650 is turned into a cool bratstyle bike. It started with a small question from one of their clients: “could […]

Donny Ariyanto from Studio Motor is a well known custom motorcycle builder in Indonesia and he’s getting more and more exposure in the rest of the world. But if you become more noticed, you’ll have to come up with more cool custom bikes. So Donny is spending a lot of hours in […]

If I think of a Kawasaki ER6N, the first thing that pops up in my mind is “driving lessons”. Second is “entry level”. But what the heck: why not use is as a base for a modern café racer? That’s what the guys from Smoked Garage Customs must have thought. So […]

Custom motorcycle enthusiast Alex from Piston Trigger loves Japanese classics and already had a cool custom bike, based on a KZ400. Unfortunately, he crashed that one into a van and destroyed (most of) it. So he was desperate in need of a new ride. On Craigslist he found a ’79 Kawasaki KZ650 in […]

UPDATE: Official pictures: Not much to find about yet, but we’ve spotted this awesome build by Oficina MRS. It’s a cafe racer based on a Kawasaki Vulcan S. The stock Vulcan S is a bit of a bulky tourbike with no cafe racer look, at all. But as you can see: […]

The Kawasaki W800, a relatively new type motorcycle (produced from 2011), is a retro bike with a touch of the glorious 60’s and 70’s (just like the Triumph Bonneville and Moto Guzzi V7). A pretty cool looking bike with modern technique (like fuel injection, fun!). But that was not enough for the London […]
