It’s hard to believe, but this CB500 started life as a hideous AME chopper—complete with flame-job paint and raked forks. Holger Breuer of @__hbcustom__ has done an amazing rescue job.
Hide Work Custom of Taiwan has just revealed a BMX-inspired build, based on a SYM commuter bike with links to the iconic Honda Super Cub. Just the thing to recapture the pedal-powered magic from a client’s childhood.
A textbook restomod for a 43-year-old icon. @analogmotorcycles gave this R90/6 a Siebenrock big bore kit, upgraded suspension and modern electrics—without dropping any style points. Perfektion!

It's one thing to build a killer cafe racer. It's another thing entirely to be able to ride it in Germany without getting stopped by the Polizei. This beauty from @elemental_custom_cycles not only looks sharp, but is also TÜV approved.

You've probably never heard of Heinz Lange, and that's fine by him. But the German bike builder has uncanny skills, as evidenced by this incredible Triumph Trackmaster.

Old school cool: A late '50s drag bike with a great story behind it, discovered by @ironandair.
The bike was originally built by the owner's grandfather, then gutted for parts down to the BSA frame, and finally rebuilt to its former glory after the grandfather passed away.
Dare Jennings is one of the co-founders of @deuscustoms in Sydney, and he’s raffling off his personal Triumph T140V to raise money for Australian bushfire charities.
100% of all proceeds will be split between @redcrossau, @nswrfs and @wireswildliferescue.
Not something you see every day: a 310-pound [140 kg], 82 horsepower BMW airhead track bike.
This beauty comes from Scott Kolb of @kolb_racing, and it’s packing a custom frame, 1000cc motor, @rotobox carbon fiber wheels and @ohlinsracing suspension all round.
This Kenny Roberts-inspired XS650 is pushing all our nostalgia buttons.
It comes from Yutaka Hoshi at @rocketmotorcycle in Japan, who built it as a tribute to King Kenny’s illustrious career with Yamaha. It’s a mash up of history; the donor is an XS650, as a nod the bike that Robert … baca lanjutannya ►

A talented designer hooks up with a master builder, and magic happens. This CB550 from Poland is one of the most graceful cafe racers we've ever seen. Sublime work from builder Jacek Mulak of @cardsharper_customs and designer client @michalcwiek.
Studded tires and frosty blue paint: this 1973 Penton Mudlark custom from @utopeia_moto_company is cooler than a bag of ice—despite being built for a Sturgis rally exhibition.
