Dime City Cycles (DCC) is maybe one of the most familiar names when it comes to aftermarket cafe racer parts. Over the past years, they’ve built a solid brand with an extensive catalog of parts for the custom motorcycle industry. They simply cover everything, let alone their amazing customer support to [...]

Royal Enfield has an interesting chapter in motorcycle history. But ever since the bike production and license went to India, it never really got a proper grip on the “western market”. And that’s a pitty, because I really love the big, punchy 500cc single engine. The Continental GT is a really [...]

Luis Bertelli, the owner of the Italian Luismoto has a strong relationship with the BMW R nineT. Right after the introduction of BMW retro machine, he saw the huge potential of this bike and create a range of custom versions. I’ve featured some of these bikes earlier: a beautiful BMW R [...]

The Ducati 750SS is one of those machines with a long history. For most Ducatisti’s it’s a desirable machine, for others, it’s an expensive machine, hard to ride and probably a little less value for money than you may expect (at that time). Whatever “they” say, it sure has something magic. [...]

The Suzuki GSX-R1100 is one of those early era superbikes and it was the top of the line for Suzuki for more than two decades. The last oil-cooled model from 1992 put out a massive 145hp at 10,000rpm. A genuine crotch rocket with an engine that was bulletproof. Dino Maltoni from Dino [...]

Straight from our southern neighbors in Belgium: an incredible Triumph Speed Triple Custom. The guys from Motokouture turned their hands on this 1050cc triple monster and turned into into something that looks a lot like dark art. Owner Steven Decaluwe started back in 2007 and has, next to his leather business, [...]

I’m happy to post another cool build by a true shed builder. It’s build by Chris Brennan and based on a 1978 Honda CB550. Chris was looking at this machine for almost 25 years now, while it was rusting away in the garage. With a mechanical background, Chris figured out that [...]

If you ask me what the number one base bike is for a café racer build, it would be the Honda CB750. Although other platforms like BMW become a lot more popular the last couple of years, I still think that the CB750 served the most custom builds. With ease… (don’t [...]

As a motorcycle brand, not having a modern classic or retro machine in the line-up seems to be a must these days. The motorcycle scene is healthier than ever and the demand for puristic, vintage inspired machines is huge. Since 2011, Kawasaki has the beautiful W800 to fill in this space. [...]

These pictures are probably the first from a whole photo shoot, and I’m sure that we can expect more pictures and information about this BMW G310R Cafe Racer. What I do know is that it’s built by Cafe Racer Dreams in cooperation with BMW Motorrad Spain. It’s called “Hadoken”, Japanese for [...]
