CB750

When I was 18 years old, many many years ago, I saw a Honda CB350F outside a club in Amsterdam. It looked dirty, had chrome wire spoked wheels, a little café racer seat, clubman style handle bar, no mirrors or indicators, no fenders, and a single gauge which was the tachometer. [...]

In 1969 when the Honda Motorcycle Company introduced to the world their CB 750, with its air-cooled, inline 4-cylinder 750cc engine, it literally blew away all the competition. Not only did they build the world’s first mass-produced superbike, but they also sold it at an affordable price point. It was called [...]

Mad Max meets The Walking Dead There is something really interesting about post-apocalyptic science fiction stories, both written and on TV. Trying to imagine how a distorted future would look like, has fueled many conversations. 40 years ago, it was Mad Max that started the rat bikes movement, and it appears [...]

Yes, the Honda CB750 is probably the most popular base bike for a cafe racer project. And yes, it’s been done over and over and over again. To be honest, it’s pretty hard to surprise the custom scene with a CB750 cafe racer. Of course, there are lot’s of pretty damn [...]

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 [...]

A couple of weeks ago I’ve visited our friends at Wrench Kings and owner Joost Dingemans told me everything about his journey with his workshop and his ambitious future plans. It was great to feel the awesome vibe of a proud guy standing with two feet on the ground (in his [...]

The Honda CB750 is one of those bikes of the glory days that is being customized over and over and over and over again. Sometimes I see extremely sophisticated (and complicated) builds, sometimes they’re pretty bad. But in order to build a cool, custom(ized) bike, the list of modifications doesn’t have [...]

The Honda CB750 maybe is one of the most used based bikes for building a cafe racer. And a lot of these builds look like each other which makes it pretty hard to stand out from the crowd. Nevertheless, there are still popping up really, really nice machines (like this one). [...]

Hard to define this CB750, so let’s call it (b)ratstyle built by Hamad Al Romaithi from Abu Dhabi Since his childhood, Hamad was obsessed with motorcycles, what’s been canalized to a passion. In 2016 he started a small shop called Bikers Oasis to build motorcycles and sell small series of parts and apparel. This [...]

The Honda CB750 is one of those machines that’s been done over and over and over again. The “world’s first superbike” just seems to be a safe pick for customization. And that’s no surprise. There are thousands of machines produced the last four decades, they’re reliable, there’s a massive aftermarket for [...]

It’s always cool if you can share your passion with friends, but it’s even better to share it with your brother, just like Blake and Brandon Ellis. Since the late ’90s, they run a workshop called Ellis Brothers Garage in California. Blake: “We started out restoring muscle cars back in the [...]

The Honda CB750 still is one of the most popular bikes for custom projects. It’s a great machine, has lots of power and since the introduction back in 1969 there are thousands and thousands produced. Till date, there is a massive fan base and a huge aftermarket for parts. This bike [...]

The custom motorcycle scene seems to be really kicking of now. In this Bikes of the Month section we have some real cool machines. Why I usually feature around 4 to 5 bikes in this section, I now had a hard time te decided which ones where in, so I’ve put [...]

Stumbled on this cool Honda CB750 Bol d’Or cafe racer built by Classic Way Atelier from Portugal.

First of all I want to wish you all the best for 2017 and let us make one simple new years resolution: ride more! I just want to start of with a bike that was built last year (new builds are on their way!). This is a beautiful Honda CB750 called “Bad Seed” [...]

Usually when I feature a bike from South America it’s a small sized machine (like this cool Yamaha RD135 cafe racer) but today there’s a real beast from Brazil: a Honda CBX750 Cafe Racer, built by a small workshop called Zucconi Projetos. The first thing that stands out are are the main [...]
