With this post I’ll try to inspire cafe racer enthusiast to start working on their own Low Budget Cafe Racer. Café racers come in a lot of different setups and prices, from bikes under $1000 and even up to $60,000 (like the CX500 Café Racer from Sacha Lakic). I think it’s not necessary to [...]

The BMW R100GS is an evolution of the legendary R80GS and is likely one of the most toughest bikes from the 80’s. But in the custom scene it still goes strong. This R100GS Scrambler is called “The Elegant Escape” and is built by Officine Sbrannetti from Italy. The name is a direct [...]

Yamaha made a strong move with the introduction of the their 07 and 09 models of the XSR and MT series. Where the 09 models have an awesome, high performing 3 cylinder, the 07 models are fitted with a 270 degree twin engine with Yamaha’s crossplane engine philosophy. Both engines have their own [...]

Since the guys from Diamond Atelier started in the summer of 2013, every single creation is simply spot on. We’ve featured some of their builds here and we see them back on some toplists we’ve published. Their third build, the “DA#3” literally melted down the web. Just like this one, it’s based [...]

I’m a huge fan of Jose Rosell’s work (XTR Pepo). He’s a big name in the custom scene and mostly works on the Italian beauties of Ducati. I’ve seen some awesome machine from his hands, like this Ducati 1198 “The Matador”, I’ve featured last year here on the blog. This time, Ducati [...]

Holiday season is behind us, we saw a little “dip” in the amount of new custom motorcycles out there, but nevertheless we same some real cool creations this month. This month we have a wide variety of bikes: we have a Moto Guzzi, Honda CBX, a Honda CRF (!), a Triumph Thruxton [...]

This bike is build by David Wildman and his team at National Custom Tech Motorcycles from the Alps in Austria. While their name may be unfamiliar, NCT has an impressive range of builds from various brands. Tough, their love for the Bavarian R-series stands out. Their company tagline hits a sweet [...]

When the Ducati Multistrada (which means “many roads”) was introduced back in 2003 it was clear that it was something different. Some may found it beautiful, some ugly, but that’s all taste. It was an ambitious try from Ducati to compete with the absolute #1 in this road/off road segment: the [...]

The guys from Radical Guzzi in Germany really know what they’re doing. Earlier this year they got a lot of attention with their massive California 1400 cafe racer and today we’ve got our hands on a new project of them. Not really retro, but also no supersport. It’s a class of it’s own. The so [...]

The BMW R nine T is one of the most beautiful (and powerful) modern classic bikes out there. A real retro bike with the classic BMW air cooled boxer engine but full of modern technology. The model was introduced in 2014 and was a direct success and a full worthy add to the BMW [...]

This creation might look a little bit odd, but I thought it was worth sharing with you. What this is? Well, it’s a Honda Zoomer Cafe Racer, or at least inspired by a cafe racer. Never heard of the Honda Zoomer, or Zoomer X? It’s one of those machines built for a [...]
