Moto Adonis This is a story about a motorcycle we saw some time ago when we last visited the workshop of Moto Adonis in the Netherlands.

The bike is so nice, they made it more than twice! We have seen a number of outstanding custom builds leaving the workshop of UNIKAT in Poland. And every time a new bike rolls of the workshop floor, our jaws drop in almost a cartoon-like fashion. Feast your eyes on these [...]

Fast scooters… There was a time here in Holland that everybody had one. Tunes machines with 50 or even 70cc to ride (or better) race the open streets. Since regulations about speeding got a lot tighter, and youngster can get their car drivers license on the age of 17, it seems [...]

A Ducati Cafe Racer is probably one of the most desirable custom motorcycles. A combination of the exclusive Italian brand with a strong heritage and the classic looks of a vintage racer.

Finally, another custom KTM! Unless the fact that KTM produces extremely fun to ride bikes, the custom scene is not massively adopting the brand, so I was glad to find this creation by the masters of Deus Ex Machina, built in Woolie’s Workshop. It’s named “The Scrappier”. It’s clear that Deus tried to [...]

Suzuki Inazuma GW250 motorcycle variants have very few populations here Indonesia, so rarely seen on the streets. Especially Inazuma that has been totally custom like this may be the only one that exists. It all started from the friendship of fellow custom motorcycle enthusiasts. David, the owner of this Inazuma, work [...]
