Scrambler

It looks like Donny from Studio Motor just can’t get enough of it. I’ve featured quite a number of builds (check them out here, here, here and here) of this Indonesian masterbrewer and this is his latest build (well, not really, today he teased us with a picture of a Bonneville […]

First of all: the title of this post is not in line with the actual cylinder capacity: since this Yamaha XS650 Scrambler by Dime City Cycles is based on a stock XS650, it’s fitted with a big bore kit what makes this a XS744 Scrambler. The base bike was a 1980 […]

The “Motorbeurs Utrecht” is the general motorcycle show of the Netherlands and always worth a visit. I was exited to see the new Yamaha XSR900 and the new Triumph classic line, especially the Thruxton R, but it was also great to see some of the builds back that got featured here. This […]

Yet another scrambler this week! This bike is based on a Ducati Scrambler (no we won’t call it Scrambler Ducati…), and is more of a facelift than a real custom. Ducati has a clear vision on todays motorcycle market where everybody wants something unique and personal. So the Ducati Scrambler comes […]

The Lisbon based brewers of Maria Riding Company have a respectful track record filled with awesome custom motorcycles, mainly built for their customers. Just like this Triumph Bonneville Scrambler. Their customer had no clear instructions. “Our client just wanted big all terrain tires, nice brakes, suspensions and a respectful sound”. After building […]

We don’t see a lot of small sized custom bikes around, last year we’ve featued one or two small engined Honda’s, but most builders choose larger 2 or 4 cylinder base bikes. But by accident I stumble on this cool Suzuki GN125 Street Tracker, built by a certain “Thomas” from France: […]

We know Ed Turner from his amazing Custom Honda CX500 “Japan Style” he built in 2015 (check it out here). This cool bike was all over the web and social media and gained a lot of positive feedback. This time, Ed built a cool Honda Scrambler, based on a parallel CB125 K5 […]

The Dutch team Moto Puro set themselves on the map about two years ago with the Ducati Elite II; a custom build café racer based on the 1199 Panigale (check it out here). At the end of 2015, Ducati started a worldwide challenge for Ducati dealers to build their own interpretation […]

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 […]

BMW classics are a common choice for custom motorcycle builder. Recently we’ve featured an awesome BMW R100R Café Racer by Diamond Atelier, now the Austrian guys from Vagabund Moto showed us their version of the R100R Café Racer. It’s a healthy mix of a scrambler and café racer in one bike. Vagabund has […]

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 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 […]

The choice for modern classics is not limited to “real” motorcycles: Honda now has a cool retro 50cc concept which fits the label scooter or moped. These cool looking bikes where revealed at the Tokyo Motorshow: the Honda Grom 50 Scramber. Small bikes, based on the legendary Honda Monkey. They came […]

Also check out the Yamaha XSR900! The Yamaha Yard Built program stimulates custom bike builders to come up with cool designs based on stock Yamaha bikes. The main requirement is that the built doesn’t need welding or frame cutting. If a project is successful, the builders are able to create their […]

The German bike brewers of WalzWerk Racing tought that the Triumph Scrambler was not “hardcore” enough. They’ve created a lighter and more aggressive version of a 2013 Triumph Scramber. The dry weight of 230kg was cut back to just over 200kg due to a lot of lightweight powerparts and modifications. You […]

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 […]
