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 […]

From day one the Ducati Scrambler was on the market, it was clear that Ducati aimed at an audience that would like to customize their motorcycles with their own style. With a wide variety of base models and a huge list of aftermarket parts, the Ducati is easy to personalize/customize. (bearded) […]

I’m a huge fan of Jose Rosell’s work (XTR Pepo). He’s a big name in the custom scene and mostly works on the Italian beauties of Ducati. I’ve seen some awesome machine from his hands, like this Ducati 1198 “The Matador”, I’ve featured last year here on the blog. This time, Ducati […]

The meant-to-be-hipster-bike Ducati Scrambler (no I don’t turn the names around like the marketeers intended to), is a cool bike from itself and has a long list of (bolt on) custom parts to personalize the ride. It’s also a bike where Ducati challenged their dealers all over the world with the “Custom […]

It are not only pure hardcore custom bike builders we see with great designs. Designing a motorcycle is much more seen as a form of art. Remember the cool CX500 Café Racer by Sacha Lakic? Pure art! Gessato is a small company that celebrates exceptional art, architecture, style and design and they’ve shown […]

When the Ducati Multistrada (which means “many roads”) was introduced back in 2003 it was clear that it was something different. Some may found it beautiful, some ugly, but that’s all taste. It was an ambitious try from Ducati to compete with the absolute #1 in this road/off road segment: the […]

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 […]

As a custom motorcycle builder, in can be very tricky if you say that a certain build is inspired by something legendary. Chances are that you completely miss the boat and get a lot of critics. Especially when you say that the inspiration came from the P51 Mustang; the long-range interceptor […]

The last couple of months I was bragging a bit about builds from the Netherlands, but our southern neighbors from Belgium also deserve an honorable mention. This beautiful custom Ducati 900ss cafe racer is built by Deep Creek Cycleworks, located in a small town called Diepenbeek. The guys from Deep Creek believe […]

Scramblers maybe one of the most popular type of custom bikes lately. You see them pop up everywhere and every self-respecting brand now offers a production model. While the scrambler motorcycle has its origin back in the 1920s, we may carefully say that Triumph started a “new wave” of Scrambler enthusiasm with the […]
