Today I got an e-mail of Grzegorz Korczak from Unikat (thanks buddy!) with a bunch of pictures of his recent finished project: a custom Yamaha SR125 Scrambler named “Clockwork Orange”.

The title of this post, Harley Sportster Café Racer is a bit misleading; it only uses the engine of a Sportster, all other parts are custom or from other bikes.

Garage Sherrif, based in Montréal, Canada is a small motorcycle workshop with a preference for wood. So when they started customizing this BMW R90, it was clear that it would have wood all over it. Next to the cool wooden mudguards and other details, the overall look of this BMW R90 [...]

VTR Customs from Switzerland is known for their great work on BMW’s and it seems that they have a slight preference for the already legendary R NineT (check out this cool R NineT Café Racer build by them). So to add a little variety in their builds they took another base bike. Since VTR [...]
