And what to say about this bike??? I’ll just add that it’s build on Spondon Z1 alloy frame with 2005 AMA spec Spondon swingarm. The rest of the specs is waiting after the jump, but try and figure them out by checking the gallery first. Sigh #2 Continue reading →

Monster CR500 AF Supermotard
If you would to park this bike next to a brand new 2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale and let the real motorcycle enthusiasts walk around, we are 100% sure that nobody would even look at the Duc. Why? Because this monster carbon fiber Honda CR500 Two Stroke Supermotard is beyond cool. It’s mental, brilliant and stunningly beautiful – with the kind of details that factory bike would never come close to. Just to think of a sound it produces through those gorgeous Akrapovic pipes make our back hair stand up. “F**k” and “unreal” mixed into one…sigh Continue reading →

“Christine” Street Rat Honda VTR1000F 1998
red chain on this machine = drooool
If it wasn’t for Tyler Mills, this beautiful custom motorcycle based on 1998 Honda VTR1000F would never see the light of day. He was probably the only person who saw a special potential in this “vintage” machine and immediately set off to work. The basic philosophy behind the build was very simple – Tyler divided things into necessary and unnecessary for normal operation – so the “unnecessary” tank, fairing, seat, headlight and many other details were taken off!

TMAX Hyper Modified by Marcus Walz
After the Hyper Modified VMAX, Marcus Walz took another Yamaha for the customization – the legendary and game changing Maxi scooter – the Yamaha TMAX 530! The famous custom builder from Germany didn’t want to change much of the original TMAX appearance, yet he wanted to check every detail and try to make the scooter as light as possible. By changing the original exhaust for the aftermarket unit, the original battery for the lithium lightweight one, and by removing some of the plastic parts, Walz succeeded to cut the original weight by 14kg!

Van’s Shovel built by Walt Siegl
If you want your custom Harley-Davidson to be sluggish, dangerous at tuns, heavy, uncomfortable and full of chrome – but apparently look good – than take it to the OCC guys. If you want it to be a piece of art, with a timeless design and some real motorcycle characteristics, you’re better off with Walt Siegl. Well known Austrian bike builder operating from US, created this lovely metal-machine based on 72 FX Harley-Davidson. We won’t go too much into details and talk about the upgraded and lightened engine, crazy carburators, custom exhaust and frame, British Dunlop 40 spoke wheels and Avon tires, as we would focus more on the end result… Continue reading →

Brammo Empulse R Electric Motorcycle / Promo Video
Here are some of the immediate impressions after watching the latest promo video from Brammo and their Empulse R: 1. the bike looks good from every angle specially from rear quarter and 2. the guy riding it must be 170cm! Nevertheless – Empulse R is a good package, probably the best electric motorcycle offered on the market today. With a $16k+ price – it’s expensive – but so are all of the new technologies.

1000++ SUMO Supra vs. Supermotard / Superretards!
It obvious – there is nothing better to do in Sweden and people need to come up with “interesting” ideas to entertain themselves. Take Ghost Rider for example: he turbocharged the Hayabusa to 499HP and raced to Upsala (60km in open traffic) in under 15min. Superretard crew had couple of videos riding their Supermotards around the town but they quickly got borred. So, what better way to spice things up than to add a 1000+whp Sumo Supra into equation and race it around the town. See how… Continue reading →
