It took Tony Pandolfo nearly seven years to figure out how to integrate a jet engine in almost any motorcycle’s chassis. And now – finally – you can order yours – and it would be finished in mere 6 months! Mental! For his first project Tony choose the Suzuki GSX-R1100, fully built it, and manage to sell it last year. The very same bike was featured in six different motorcycle magazines around the world and created quite a stir (like that a surprise). For his second project the bike was obvious – the stock-ish looking 1st gen Suzuki Hayabusa. Read more about this genius-lunacy after the jump! Continue reading →

Yamaha Scorpio ’08 / Project Kedua by Studio Motor
Check out this beautiful new custom Yamaha Scorpio from Studio Motor. The inspiration came from the legendary and iconic Darwin Motorcycles Brawler GT3 – and the talented builders from Jakarta, Indonesia, done their best to recreate it in a much smaller 250cc package. 17 inch front and back wheels shod in Shinko tires were necessary to give the bike that Pro Street bobber looks, the modifications on the body were extensive while the front fork was borrowed from the Honda CB400 Superfour. The old drum-brakes were changed for disc’s, the level of detail is amazing and the execution is top notch – everything is just about right. Continue reading →

You could have owned this for US$8,200! / 1975 Suzuki GT550 Indy Custom Cafe
We already featured this stunning work of art some time back. Brilliantly thought-of and executed by MotoHangar, it represents the blend of good-ol’ two-stroke engine and modern brakes and suspension. But, not just that – the details like Elk leather seat, the fiberglass seat pan, the amazing color scheme. And all that gone for 8.1k dollars. Someone was lucky! Continue reading →

MULE Stealth Machine for Matthew Day Jackson
This is how your custom Harley-Davidson Sportster should look like. Bored out to 1460cc (89ci) just for that extra kick, with a custom 2 in one exhaust snaking past your right leg and finishing somewhere around the frame loop of your custom rear end and seat unit. This “Stealth” black motorcycle is MULE’s work of art and was built for the famous sculptor Matthew Day Jackson (hence the beautiful aesthetics). Continue reading →

Custom Scorch Laverda 1000cc
This is one crazy looking bike, with a bizzare bright orange custom frame built by Scorch. And just for a sake of “not to keep it all that simple”, the choice of the engine is quite an awkward one as well – the big 1000cc Laverda inline-3. And then you look at the front end and you ask yourself – is that an telescopic fork? Your eyes glance over the custom single sided swingarm-art and you look at it closely – is it on the wrong side??? Continue reading →

Bald Terrier by Deus Ex Machina
Meet the Bald Terrier – younger brother of the famous Deus’ 2009 V Twin Cafe Racer. The story behind it is that one day certain Mr.Glenn walked in to Deus Ex Machina and commissioned a Harley-Davidson Cafe Racer with a massive stopping power. The base: 2007 fuel injected Sportster 1200. 19inch front and 18inch rear wheels, brake discs and calipers were mounted for a good measure and balanced looks. Storz was the supplier for the rear sets which had to be modified for that optimum riders position, so was the Vince & Hines exhaust to suit the overall looks. Continue reading →

Riverside Headbanger Muscle by Oberdan Bezzi
This is one of the latest renderings done by our favorite motorcycle designer Oberdan Bezzi, for Headbanger’s and their “sport” bike. Powered by a massive S&S X-Wedge engine, Riverside would go up against the big players like CR&S and the Confederate Motorcycles. The honest approach to the subject of a muscle bike with it’s traditional frame design, typical elements and a huge engine is something that we like much more that the radical designs just for the sake of doing something different.

FlashBack / Sport 944 by Radical Ducati
We’re sure you all heard of Radical Ducati and their awesome custom builds by now. And we know you’ll agree that it’s never a bad time to remind ourselves of their 2008 Sport 944, originally based on the Ducati ST2. This bike, as most of the Radical Ducati builds, received a new frame, new RADical and agressive fairing and a whole lot of other various and custom parts, but with one intention in mind: to look like a racing bike, but to be street legal! The details like single LED headlight with LOW/HI beam function, the sculpture-like rear turn signal and stop light are just some of the design features on this Yellow beauty. Check out the whole list of features and enjoy the full gallery after the jump. Continue reading →
