‘FAT’, is the first word that came to mind when I first saw Shaun at Down & Outs new ride, a build which I received the odd updates on when it was being put together at the Down & Out workshop in Barnsley, which is just north of Sheffield UK. Like some of the other well established builders of Triumph […]
Every few months, a bike comes along that completely stops me in my tracks. Like this one: an Art Deco-influenced machine that could have come straight from the pen of Harley Earl. The bike caused a stir last month when it appeared at the Rhinebeck Grand National Meet, a popular motorcycle show held a couple…

Justin Webster of J.Webster Designs is one of our favorite people in the moto world. He's a self-taught builder who started his business working nights after his day job, and his design philosophy strikes a chord with us:"When building bikes, I like to not have a single item stand out too prominen

EXCLUSIVE If you have a television in your house, you probably know AMC’s The Walking Dead. If you’re blessed with a strong constitution, you may even be watching it. It’s a post-apocalyptic drama series that scores millions of viewers for every episode. And unlike most shows of that ilk, it’s a huge hit with critics too. The series returned for the second half of its fifth season in February, and with it comes a new addition to the cast: a motorcycle ridden by the character of Daryl Dixon, played by actor Norman Reedus. If you see elements of the Classified

“Wouldn’t it be great to build motorcycles for a living?” I’m guessing the thought has crossed your mind while working on your own bike. It’s kind of like saying, “Wouldn’t it be great to climb Mount Everest?” Of course it would, depending on your tolerance for discomfort—and even disaster. In the few years that Classified Moto has been my livelihood, I’ve experienced highs and lows. I’ve felt pride, joy, fear and camaraderie. Plus the occasional overwhelming urge to punch someone square in the face. Through it all, I’ve learned without a doubt that I’m an expert on nothing. Ironically this
Since the days of $4 gas began, the single-cylinder motorcycles and scooters that dominate international megacities have become increasingly common on American streets. Engineers at Yamaha created the Y125 Moegi concept to capitalize on that trend. They based it on the company's first motorcycle, the 1955 125-cc YA-1, but they also included some modern touches, in particular an ultralight frame and a new cylinder design that could help make the Moegi one of the lightest and most fuel-efficient motorcycles ever.
A young inventor has created a motorbike with a twist – it uses two wheels but they are positioned right next to each other, giving it the illusion of being a powered unicycle.

Union Motorcycle Classics is the kind of shop we love to hear about. It’s based in a 100-year-old barn in the 19th century railroad town of Nampa, Idaho, where Mike Watanabe and Luke Ransom fettle and restore classic British and European machinery. This recent build is giving us a serious case of envy. It’s Ducati Monza Super belonging to Kurt Bergquist—a man of impeccable taste who uses a 1969 VW Double Cab Pick-up to transport his bikes. The Monza was a ‘narrowcase’ 250 cc single built in the mid 60s. It’s one of Bologna’s lesser-known models, designed in response to

If you're going to call it a sidecar, might as well use a real car in there, right? That's exactly what Francois Knorreck did with the Snaefell, a motorcycle with an attached car on the side. Quite possibly the oddest thing you can hope to see on the road, the vehicle combines a triple-engine 1000cc

Aermacchi was a fabricator of aircraft for Italy’s war machine during the Second World War. After the defeat of the Axis powers, the company turned its efforts to the production of motorcycles and bikes. In collaboration with Harley-Davidson, many Aermacchi motorcycles found their way to America in the 1960s to meet the growing demand for two-wheeled transport. And this is one of them, a 350cc Sprint now owned by Philadelphia-based Bill Becker. Rebuilding motorcycles is Bill Becker’s passion. After retiring from a successful 40 year career in architectural design and construction, Becker now turns his energy to what he calls
