This year, EICMA 2024 didn’t disappoint, delivering a fresh blend of innovation, nostalgia, and cutting-edge tech across the industry. And while […]

“Tricolore” is the latest creation of XTR PEPO, where Pepo Rosell builds extreme customs! The Tricolore, is a Ducati-based bike, clad in the three colors of the Italian flag as a tribute to the first Ducati 851 Tricolore. A 'from the ground up' build, an exquisite collection of high performance, heavily modified or home-made components.

A Special Story It is common for us to write about a motorcycle with a special story, and in a way, they are all very personal. Still, this might be the most special motorcycle we have covered to date. This is a story about a man that does not compromise. Controversial […]

Beautiful Monster When Ducati first launched the venerable Monster 900 back in 1993, it set the world on fire! I remember seeing it for the first time on a television program, and being blown away by the raw and ‘monstrous’ look the Bologna manufacturer managed to give to one of their […]

The Ducati Panthah Let’s first rewind to the year 1976. When Ducati’s 350 cc and 500 cc parallel twins could hardly be called a marketing success, their fabulous engineer Fabio Taglioni set tout to develop a replacement. The Pantah 500 originates from the last of the GP500 racers of 1973. The […]

Exotic Machines Ducati’s are known for building some of the world’s most aesthetically pleasing and high-performance motorcycles. The comparison with Italian car manufacturers such as Ferrari is easily made. Due to their racing heritage, the engineers at Ducati know exactly what it takes to make a race winning machine. All that […]

When you think the Ducati Monster 1200R is extreme, then take a look at the latest creation by our friend XTR Pepo. He took brand new 1200R and created a distinctive XTR-version out of it. Nice! This one is, by a good tradition of XTR, named “Il Padrino”. Ducati Monster 1200R […]

The Dutch custom motorcycle scene is growing and growing. On every event, you see new faces and new builders. This machine here is from a new talent in town and goes by the name of Timmer Motorcycles, owned by Maarten Timmer. Maarten has a degree in industrial design and works as […]

Every time when I receive an email from Pepo Rosell, a.k.a. XTR Pepo, I’m a bit excited. “What did he build this time?!” It’s always a surprise because Pepo does not work between the lines. Every single machine that leaves his workshop has a unique look, though it’s pretty clear to […]

Just like the electric car, the electric motorcycle is becoming more and more common. We’ve featured several cool EV-projects that are close to production and more people see the benefits of the electric motorcycle. But an electric cafe racer? WTF? Of course, it was just a matter of time. But to […]

Yes! You’re right! Better late than never! This is the list of the 21 best custom motorcycles of 2017! Last year we did a voting based on the stats of popular bikes that year but this time we kept things much simpler. So no hard data, voting system, social statistics, or fancy […]

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 […]

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. […]

At the Southern end of New Zealand which is a stone throw from the snow-capped Southern Alps sits a small city called Christchurch. It’s home to some stunning scenery and a guy called Lee Cavalier who likes to transform good solid bikes into cafe racers. Until 2007, Lee wasn’t the typical […]
