A textbook example how to build the cool looking custom Honda cafe racer. This one is based on 1975 model and it has all the elements that one decent CB750 needs to have: custom exhaust (4-in-4 straight pipes), Firestone tires, custom seat and the rear end, clip-on handlebars and a ton of other little details. And you can’t get by the old-school paint job. Just perfect! Continue reading →

Confederate X132 Hellcat / Photo Gallery
The Confederate X132 Hellcat is nothing new. The 2,163cc v-twin with 132hp and 150 lbs.ft of torque monster was going on sale for the initial and cool $44,500 dollars, but as the numbers are limited to 162 units only, that price just jumped to $49,500. Another price increase is expected later for another $5,000. So why would you buy this motorcycle? Start with the photo gallery after the jump. Continue reading →

Triumph Tridays Rumbler
Is this the hottest looking Triumph Scrambler you ever saw?
WOW…we are speechless! Just take a look at that beauty. Starting off as the basic Triumph Scrambler, the “Rumbler” received a special made up-side-down fork, a selection of parts from the JvB (engine), Magura Supermoto 4-piston radial front brake, Öhlins rear shocks and lightweight aluminum wheels shod in Pirelli knobby tires (110/80-19 and 140/80-18).

Past Concepts / 2010 / Magpul Buell 1125R
Couple of things you need to know about this badboy. It is a custom Buell 1125R build by the company specialized in weapons accessories – Magpul. The name Ronin comes from the Japanese culture and stands for a samurai warrior who lost his master (as the first concept appeared around the same time Buell shit its doors – the name makes a lot of sense). All the aggressiveness and styling cues come from the elements of the cafe racers, streetfighters and – believe it or not – Vincent Black Shadow! The girder-styled front fork, the radical headlight, the front mounted oil cooler and couple more clever tricks helped this bike loose a staggering 22kg! Continue reading →

Harley-Davidson Fatboy Bobber by Warr’s
Charlie Stockwell of famed Warr’s Harley-Davidson build this incredible motorcycle. The bike’s named “Unorthodox” and it definitely suits it well. Everything on it is in a constant state of contradiction, and it has been done “the other” way or as most people wouldn’t do it. Handmade carbon-fiber parts, custom fabricated frame and reposition oil tank give the bike a mean low-slung looks. The front end looks like it has been taken off of the Ducati Desmosedici D16RR superbike, while the exhaust resembles some of the Ducati bikes as well. The only problem is that there is no space between the rear mudguard and the tire so the exhaust had to be mounted on the two sides. Continue reading →

BMW HP2 Cafe Racer by Nicolas Petit
Why don’t factories produce motorcycles like this is beyond us…
…or at least why don’t they hire talented people like this one to work for them. Check out the BMW HP2 cafe racer design study by uber-talented Nicolas Petit! The harmony, the technology and the history – they are all combined and implemented in the HP2 custom motorcycle, creating one of the most exciting “beemers” in the recent times. If you ask us, we don’t have the slightest doubt that this bike would be a great hit, and followed by the naked version (check out the gallery) – it will surely disrupt the Japanese technological and Italian design dominance.

Sick Custom Hyper Motard
The looks of the stock Ducati Hypermotard was never our style – it had way to much elements that was unnecessary spoiling the raw energy packed in the brilliantly thought hooligan machine. So actually – the Hypermotars is really easy bike to customize – ditch the silly looking mirrors and grip protectors, change the original “why-did-it-have-to-go-under-the-seat” exhaust and tie up the rear, and you’ll be laughing. This particular owner went a bit further, changing the stock wheels for the spoked units. The end result – perfect custom Hyper. Hit the jump button for the full gallery. Continue reading →
