Shop Visit: Rusty Gold Motorshop
With our small series of Custom Crafts, we've broadened our view of the custom motorcycle scene by interviewing the artists behind the bikes. In the past we've done some shop visits, but this never really led to serious articles. With our ever growing audience and some extra hands (called Ron), we thought it … Continue Reading... about Shop Visit: Rusty Gold Motorshop
Honda Hornet Cafe Racer by XTR Pepo
The unstoppable Pepo Rosell, a.k.a. XTR Pepo is the most featured builder out here and just as expected, he delivered another amazing bike this month. While Pepo has a long heritage with Ducati, he's never afraid to pick something different. This time he took a 2001 Honda Hornet and gave it the "XTR package" … Continue Reading... about Honda Hornet Cafe Racer by XTR Pepo
Honda CX500 Cafe Racer by Sault Built
The Honda CX500 remains of those base bikes that keeps builders inspired. During the last three years, I've featured dozens of them. To be honest, in my opinion, there is one bike standing out for me, and that is still Sacha Lakic's version. Nevertheless, this is a seriously costly machine. But to customize a … Continue Reading... about Honda CX500 Cafe Racer by Sault Built
Kawasaki W650 Brat by Kevils
I don't think there's a bike that has been featured twice on the same website. On any custom motorcycle website (correct me if I'm wrong). When the owner of this bike submitted it, I didn't recognize it in the first place. But after a second look (and a little hint of the owner), I did recognize the Kawasaki … Continue Reading... about Kawasaki W650 Brat by Kevils
Sweet Thai Chilly
I can't help it, but we got a submission of another awesome Yamaha Virago. And just like Bal Deo's Virago I've posted last week, it's an XV750. It's not on purpose, it's just how they roll in. This bike is built by Oran, owner of Buriam Siammotor, a motorcycle dealer in Buriram. This mid-sized town which … Continue Reading... about Sweet Thai Chilly
Custom Crafts: Huid en Staal
Earthbound The Dutch are quite well known for their levelheadedness and their no-nonsense approach when it comes to business. In their communication, they might sometimes a bit too direct, but they mean well. This trait particularly applies to fellow countrymen from the Eastern part of the Netherlands. They … Continue Reading... about Custom Crafts: Huid en Staal
BMW R100R by Moto Adonis
As proud "Dutchmen" it's always cool to publish a cool story and pictures of a bike that comes from our home ground. And with an ever-growing custom motorcycle scene, the established workshops keep on delivering top-notch work. Regular readers already know that we have some really great pro builders here like … Continue Reading... about BMW R100R by Moto Adonis
Bal Deo’s Virago Cafe Racer
Just like the Honda CB or BMW airheads, the Yamaha Virago is one of the most popular base bikes for custom projects. And yes, it has been done over and over again. Some good, some bad, some terrible. And when a bike design is being consolidated, it gets harder and harder to stand out. Some bikes simply stand … Continue Reading... about Bal Deo’s Virago Cafe Racer
