Other Customs

Before we start featuring new great custom motorcycles in 2016 we want to look back at 2015. So we’ve overlooked al 100+ motorcycles we’ve featured last year and made a top 10 of it. And no: that was not easy, because only we only feature the best bikes ;) So we also […]

The KTM 390 Duke is pure fun machine; light, agile, torqy 1 cylinder and cool looks. But as it is with stock bikes: it’s not unique. Esteban & Gustavo Pasquale from Garaje 57, based in Colombia, took this 390 Duke a part and created this out of it:

Just some random pics of a beautifully customized 1979 BMW R60/7 called “The Baron”. Pictures taken by Ton van Damme. 

UPDATE 4/8/2016: The Husqvarna 701 Vitpilen got a great response from all over the world and the bike also won the IF Design Award 2016. Some real life pictures at the BIMS 2016 took the bike a step further to production. Today Husqvarna released some more pictures of their 701 Vitpilen which […]

It was just a matter of time for the Yamaha XSR900 to come. After the successful launch of the Yamaha XSR700, Yamaha decided to power up their range of retro bikes. This bike is a great add-on to todays modern classics. This time with the already legendary 850cc triple cylinder of […]

It’s not a typical café racer nor a street fighter, so Andreas Fougner from Eze Visuals called it a “Custom Café Fighter”. I think that is the name that comes closest to this superb design. It’s an aggressive looking naked bike, based on the legendary Ducati 916. Andreas is a professional 3D designer […]

For those who don’t have a motorcycle driving licence, Oto Cycles from Barcelona has developed a cool looking e-bike cafe racer. Inspired by the design of classic cafe racers they’ve built this unique e-bike called “RaceR”. Dapper and distinguished! Specs: Top speed: 25 km/h Reach: 70km Battery capacity: 36V 11Ah Engine […]

Modern classics are very popular these days so motorcycle manufacturers all want a piece of this growing market. Just like Yamaha: they revealed a cool concept bike at the AIMExpo last week, the Yamaha DT-07 Flat Track. Yamaha’s US Racing Division worked together with Jeff Palhegyi Design (JPD) and created a custom frame and […]

Spanish bike brewer Jose “Pepo” Rosell from XTR, former “Radical Ducati” or RAD is know for his awesome and brutal Ducati builds. They announced to stop in 2014, but the brand was bought by the French Ducatiamo, so RAD could still build on. This Ducati 1198 is stripped from a lot of weight […]

It’s been almost 2 weeks now since the amazing Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride 2015 took place all over the world. More than 37,000 gentlemen (and gentle-girls) collected over 2.2 million US dollars for fighting prostate cancer. There are a lot of cool images and videos around and I wanted to share a small […]

A random bike we found on Facebook by Italian brewers Simone Conti Motorcycles (SCM). They customized a Buell XB12 into this awesome ride. Too bad we couldn’t find any specs or list of mods, but we can see that they’ve put a lot of effort in this bike. Like the design […]

Marcin & Marcin from Ratbikes did an awesome job on this Honda CB350 Café Racer, so we kept a close eye on them. They took this BMW R65 LS a part and turned it into a great custom ride. It’s hard to recognize the original ride in this one, and we […]

Bike related projects on the big crowdfunding platforms are not very common, so this project on Indiegogo has a huge attraction on me as a bike and high tech enthusiast. The 2 bike brewers of “Huge Moto” teamed up with a clear goal: create a complete turnkey custom motorcycle kit for a […]

Most often we see that custom bikes are based on older, classic models. But sometimes we see a creation based upon a brand new bike. Just like this Indian Scout by de brewers of Roland Sands Design. They picked up this 2015 Indian Scout, teared it a part and totally redesigned […]

Classified Moto, a Richmond (US) based brewer made an awesome looking custom (the type is not really specified as café racer, bratstyle or scrambler, just “classified”) based on a ’82 Yamaha XV920 Virago, they’ve called the “Shreveport Slammer”. Some mods: 2010 Yamaha R6 front end Benelli Mojave gas tank Custom stainless […]
