An interesting spin on the subject of custom BMW’s – a Harley-Davidson looking BMW R80 neatly dubbed the Romeo 80. What started it’s life as a 1982 R80 found on ebay for £1350,it was transformed into the one and only bike of it’s kind – hard tail bobber with the “opposing cylinder heart”. A new frame was made by Dave Batchelar at P&D and he cut down the tank and fabricated the new sides and fenders. Continue reading →

Custom Guzzi “Corsaiola” by Venier Customs
The best custom designed motorcycles are the ones who look completely stock and unchanged when you first look at them. Then you start noticing, “hey that wasn’t there in the original”, “this part is not like the stock one”, and they start to unfold right in front of your eyes. “Corsaiola” is one such bike, built by the Venier Customs / Italy. Based on the 1980′s V75 it’s the modern re-interpretation of the classical Moto Guzzi, and for us it looks better than the current V7 line of bikes. Continue reading →

Honda CM400 by Junior Burrell
There is usually two types of custom motorcycle builds: the ones for the customers, build with money in mind and the ones for creators themselves, build with soul and emotions. This little custom Honda CM400 is one of those soul builds, executed by the skilled hands of Junior Burrell/Retro Moto. It showcases his level of fabrication and attention to details, managing to cross that fine line between a motorcycle and an art form. Continue reading →

We featured their Paranoia Ducati SSS (and we’re still drooling as we look at the pictures), but now it’s time to show off their genius Colour Blind Helmet. We believe that further explanations aren’t necessary but just to be on a safe side – colour blinded people see red and green as grey. Continue reading →

2014 Yamaha MT-09 / Future Classic?
This is the 2014 Yamaha MT-09. A brand new three cylinder 847cc, 188kg (wet) machine destined to be a future classic. Or is it? With the fairly unsuccessful MT-01 (V-Twin) and MT-03 (single cylinder), MT-09 is here to try and better the predecessors. For us it’s a breath of fresh air from Yamaha/Japan, and an instant classic. We would get one in an instant. Just look at that headlight! Continue reading →

Iron & Resin / 2013 Spring Lookbook Video
Haven’t heard about Iron and Resin yet? As the makers put it – “Born in a small, Southern California, blue-collar beach town, graced with world class point breaks and seaside racetracks, where ghosts of a once towering oil industry still linger in the shadows. Iron & resin is the brainchild of several friends who, after decades of collective experience building successful clothing brands, decided to turn back the clock and start anew. The result is a small, hand built collection of goods that draws heavily upon the founder’s own lifestyles and experiences.” Continue reading →
