Back in 2009, Sven Decoux turned his love for motorcycles into a company called SD Motors. His main activities where buying, fixing and selling bikes. Next to this he also started working on his first custom bike project and people around Sven started asking if he could build bikes for them. [...]

The Honda CB-series still is (by far!) the most popular base bike for cafe racer projects. And no matter how many times I’ve seen one, if it’s done properly, they never get bored. I may be a bit biased (I have a ’72 CB500), but I think that the classic Honda’s [...]

  Buying Cafe Racer Parts The Café Racer look is forever associated with 1960’s London. The magical engine size was 650cc and long tanks, short seats, clip-ons and loud exhausts were the order of the day. Café Racers (or better “rockers”) wore black studded jackets with drainpipe dark blue jeans and [...]

Right at a moment where I started thinking that Husqvarna seemed to be a little underexposed, I’ve found another cool custom Husky to feature here (don’t forget to check this one and this one).  This bike right here is based on the incredible Husqvarna Nuda 900R. In my opinion, a pretty [...]

It was no secret that the Yamaha TRX850 was meant as a direct competitor of the Ducati 900SS. Just like the Duc, the TRX850 had a 2 cylinder engine in a tube frame, a sporty riding position and a bikini fairing. The most exciting about the TRX was its engine. It [...]

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. The last few years, Ducati aims to be part of the ever-growing custom motorcycle scene with their Ducati Scrambler. The [...]

Snow and motorcycles are not a great combination but with the right material you can have a lot of fun in the snow on 2 wheels. Last week LOON proved that with their ice cool Husqvarna 501 Tracker. And if you live in an area where you can expect several months of snow, [...]

Somehow motorcycles and surfing are two subcultures very close to each other. The annual Wheels & Waves Festival in Biarritz is probably the best example of the two cultures coming together. Chris Tope from Bellingham (MA, USA) is a guy standing with one foot in the motorcycle scene and the other one in [...]

Last week I’ve featured this awesome custom Kawasaki W800 and I was complaining about the fact that the I only see a few Kawasaki W-series being customized. Call it a coincidence or just randomness, but today I’ve found another custom W. This time it’s a cool looking Kawasaki W650 Brat built [...]

Riding off road really is fun to do and if you’re not that worried about cold and snow, you can have a lot of fun in winters too! Just grab an enduro our MX machine and throw yourself around. Try it! It’s cool (and not only because of the low temperatures). [...]

  In this article, I’ll try to explain how to true a motorcycle wheel. Got the spokes in place? Great! Not there yet? Read this article how to lace a motorcycle wheel. For some it may be dark art which only a few people can do, but I think it’s a job [...]

The Kawasaki W800 could be called an instant modern classic. No racer, but an easy goin’ cruiser: powered by a torquey 773cc parallel twin with that typical classic look and sound. While most of the time the modern classics of Triumph are an easy pick as a donor bike, the W800 is [...]
