For so many of us, the love of two wheels begins with the childhood bicycle. That first taste of freedom -- the wind on your cheeks, the road humming beneath your tires. At some point, riding a motorcycle becomes a natural evolution, an extension of the same sensations. After all, the great poet Jam
Bikebuilder Auto Fabrica präsentiert eine schlichte und extrem gelungene Veredelung einer Yamaha SR 400 Scrambler unter der Bezeichnung "Typ7".
Two heavily modified CB550s in one week: are we seeing a renaissance of interest in Honda’s classic middleweight? If the new builds coming through are as good as this street scrambler from Florida’s J. Webster Designs and the Hookie Co. cafe racer, we’re all for it. Justin wowed us five months ago with an amazing CB750 cafe racer, and he’s just proved he’s not a one-hit wonder. This latest creation is a 1974 Honda CB550 that he’s called the City Scrambler: “It’s a stripped-down, lightened, shaved and smoothed fun machine designed to tackle anything the city can throw your way,”

The Kawasaki KZ200 is a motorcycle that was developed largely for the South East Asian market, with a particular focus on Indonesia. For a
If you’re a motorcycle builder in the States and you need a custom seat, you know who to call: Ginger McCabe. Ginger runs Portland, Oregon-based New Church Moto. She’s the go-to girl for workshops like Revival Cycles and Crowe Customs, plus top-flight restorers like New York’s Moto Borgotaro. So we were curious to see what she rides, when she’s not working on other people’s bikes. Turns out it’s this very sharp-looking 1977 Yamaha XS400, which has survived two big crashes. “It’s been through hell and back with me the last six years,” says Ginger. “Started out as bone stock, but
The British manufacturer, Triumph Motorcycle, introduced the latest addition to their scrambler motorbike lineup. Triumph presents the Scrambler 1200 with this classic-style motorbike that can tackle two realms on and off-road. The new Triumph Scrambler 1200 will be offered in two variants: Scrambler 1200 XC and Scrambler 1200 XE. The XC model is more focused
We've waxed lyrical about Kawasaki's W800 before, and how great it is as a custom platform. It's simple, reliable and looks good straight off the showroom floor, with a gorgeous engine. For these reasons, Italian shop Di Ferro Motorcycles have selected it for their latest project—spinning it three different ways. Moto Di Ferro was established in 2010 by Marco Lugato, a former motorcycle racer who's work we've featured in the past. Marco's been building bikes since 2004 and decided it was time to put a team together—opening a workshop near the heart of Venice's industrial area. After a few bespoke builds
As far as we're concerned, small capacity bikes don't get enough love. They're frugal, cheap to run and can go about anywhere (if you have the patience). So they're usually relegated to commuter or courier duties. Hélder Moura of Dream Wheels Heritage sees potential for more—especially in Portugal, where Dream Wheels is based. There, you can ride anything up to 125cc with just a car driver's license. “This is definitely a new market that could become quite interesting,” says Hélder, “and so far we have not seen many examples in the world of custom builds.” Dream Wheels' latest foray into
