Scrambler

That the Kawasaki KZ440 is a great base to build a scrambler was already confirmed by Droog Moto a couple of weeks ago. Today I received another cool KZ440 scrambler built by Pierre Forme from Bordeaux, France. Pierre has a technical background and got involved with motorcycles at the age of [...]

Back in September, I got in touch with Bolt Motor Co. from Valencia in Spain. They amazed me with this beautiful, redefined version of the Honda CB750. Today they’ve amazed me again with this awesome BMR R100RS Scrambler. The last time I saw a BMW R-series like this, was back in [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve featured a bike from Danny Ariyanto, the owner of the Indonesian Studio Motor. Danny has built a lot of custom motorcycle the past few years and he worked on a wide variety of machines. From a small Vespa to a big fat Harley-Davidson; Danny can work [...]

Of course, everybody likes to see a solid, high-end custom bike from the pro’s. Professional workshops keep popping up everywhere and the growth of the custom scene still didn’t stop so far. Which is a good thing. BUT, I also very much like the shed/yard/basement/bedroom builders. The guys that simply try [...]

Max & Erica of Droog Moto seem to be unstoppable. Yet another cool build from the husband and wife with their recognizable post-apocalyptic touch on their creations. This time it’s a Kawasaki KZ440 Scrambler. Words by Max: We had a customer reach out to us from New York City a while back [...]

This BMW R nineT Dakar can be put in the corner “legend building for a legend”. Legendary builder XTR Pepo wanted to build a tribute to Paris-Dakar legend Hubert Auriol. This Frenchmen was the first racer to win the Dakar in both motorcycle and car-class. Auriol won the 1981 and 1983 edition on a BMW [...]

Scramblers are one of the oldest versions of custom motorcycles. Were the cafe racer has its origin in the mid-’50s, the scrambler goes way back to the 20s. British racers tend to race all kinds of terrain and these races were called “scrambles”. Jumping back to today, scramblers still very popular. [...]

In a short period of time, husband and wife Max and Erica of Droog Moto were able to create custom bikes with a real authentic signature. All their creations have a cool, raw industrial look and look like they are directly taken from The Walking Dead. Take a look at some [...]

The Kawasaki KLX650 is one of those machines built for a simple purpose: adventure. The KLX650, the more dirt-oriented brother of the KLR650, is widely used across the globe as an inexpensive adventure machine used for long adventurous trips. It’s been in Kawasaki’s lineup for over 30 years. The machine is [...]

Husband/wife Max and Erica of Droog Moto quickly made fame with their custom motorcycles. They’ve opened up their shop last year and delivered a handful of machines with post-apocalyptic looks which are best to be labeled as scramblers. It all started with this Honda CM400. But they don’t focus on one specific brand or type. [...]

Small two strokes have something special. I don’t know if it’s their sound, their smell, the gas response, or a combination of these factors, but the fact is, that they have a strong attraction (on a lot of us!). The two stroke as an engine is becoming rarer every day, so [...]

Story by Gasoline Motor Co. Ever thought of playing around in the dirt with a bulky 1200cc Harley? Why not?! Gasoline Motor Co. from Sydney, Australia, as you may already know, builds awesome motorcycles. Motorcycles that tell a story, as they say. And the story behind this bike is pretty unique. [...]

Small motorcycles usually are built for very specific regions like Asia or South America. Instead of “built for fun”, like a lot of motorcycles are, these small machines are “built to move the owner from A to B”. So if a custom workshop takes one of these small urban transportation machines as [...]

If I say “Switzerland”, you’ll probably think: “chocolate”, “snow top mountains”, “gold” or maybe even “purple cows“. Regular readers and especially custom BMW lovers may think about VTR Customs. Certainly one of the best custom motorcycle shops in Europe. And of course, we definitely love the work of the pro’s, but in the [...]

This may look like a strange name for a bike that’s actually a Honda FX650. But it’s not the frame or the engine that’s in the center of this build, it’s the mythical gas tank of the Husqvarna back in the 70s and 80s. Since that’s the only Husqvarna part of [...]
