Custom Bikes of the Week

There’s a theme to our latest selection: customs with fairings. From Madrid to the south of France to Japan, here’s the sexy bodywork that caught our eye this week.

Studio Motor Ducati Monster One look at those super sticky Diablo Corsas (especially the shredded one out back) and you know this Ducati Monster 795 can easily run the ton. What you wouldn’t glom onto, however, is that this is only the second cafe build to roll out of Studio Motor. Sophomore efforts are rarely this clean.

The Jakarta, Indonesia-based workshop was quick to shed the Ducati of all its plastics. A new tank, tail and cowl were hand crafted out of 1.2mm steel to deliver a timeless stance, while not taking anything away from the iconic trellis frame. The rear subframe was modified slightly using a 1-inch seamless pipe, ensuring the spine was flat and true. Then the original mag wheels were swapped for spoked units.

The most striking piece of ingenuity, though, is the routing of the in-house devised exhaust, with its MotoGP-inspired symmetrical tail cowling exits. [More]

Flatmaxx Atelier BMW This R1100 cafe racer hails from the Bouches-du-Rhone region in the south of France. The styling is smooth and almost restrained in profile, anchored by an impeccably executed bone line and tightly balanced cut-offs.

There are eighty angry German horses motivating 440-pounds of style, making this machine as swift as the Mistral that blows through the French Riviera. But although this Beemer was built to juke and jive, rider comfort was of the utmost importance too. The suspension was kept compliant, and the seat has a touch more foam than most cafe racers receive. You’ll also notice that proper bars, instead of clip-ons, adorn the cockpit.

It’s a stunning custom that’s way more than somebody’s garage queen. [More]

Yoshida Machine Triton Sometimes a subtle touch is all that’s needed when creating a masterpiece. Here, the Japanese bike builder (and parts manufacturer) Yoshida has captured the spirit of the shed-built hybrids of the 60s with this (slightly) modern interpretation.

True to the original recipe, the Norton Featherbed frame houses a 650cc Triumph twin. But there are also modern updates throughout, to achieve optimal performance without compromising on rider comfort. Carburetion has been updated to use Mikuni units, the rear suspension is a piggyback Öhlins set-up, and the primary belt has been upgraded for reliability too. The cowl was purposely mounted taller than on traditional Tritons; it permits a less-than-full-tuck approach, but doesn’t spoil the silhouette.

In my eyes the attention to details like that creates a true modern classic that might even give Dresda legend Dave Degens pause for thought. [More]

XTR Pepo Interceptor Mk 2 When the checkered flag drops on a build and your starting point was a BMW F800 S, this is not what you’d expect. But then again, Jose “Pepo” Rosell isn’t your typical builder.

Before the Interceptor MK 2 there was a MK 1. It was Rosell’s swansong BMW R80 with the now defunct Radical Ducati—a punctuation mark on a very impressive resume. Thankfully Rosell didn’t hang up his spanners; this F800 comes to us under the XTR Pepo banner, because Jose has continued right where he left off.

The tank is a modified unit from a GSX-R 750—complete with dual aluminum caps—and aside from the Tommaselli clip-ons, everything else was tackled in-house. The subframe, seat, fairing, bracketry, lighting; all of it. If this were the standard issue bike for the Gendarmerie, the recruitment line would start in Madrid. Bienvenido de vuelta, Pepo. [XTR Pepo]

ClassicCo Round Head Racer This heavily modified Moto Guzzi Le Mans II comes from Madrid, and it’s an apex hunter in the truest sense. Because racing is what drives ClassicCo: it’s in the blood of Mauro Abbadini and his team, and you can see it in their every creation.

To shed weight, the Tonti frame has been scrapped in favor of a CroMoly unit, fabricated in-house. It eliminates the need for downtubes and turns the 1100cc V-twin into a stressed member. The swingarm is also CroMoly; crafted for strength and lightness, it’s an inch longer than stock and widened to accept 160-series slicks. The suspension is by fully adjustable Marzocchi units at both ends.

The curvaceous, multi-part bodywork is resplendent in Moto Guzzi’s traditional green, and finished off with a perfect half-fairing. [More]

A slammed sprint machine with Moto Guzzi power, a BMW R 1100 GS given the scrambler treatment, and a stunning Yamaha XS650 tracker. Check out the custom bikes that caught our eye this week.

Ferdinand the Sparrow by Young Guns Speed Shop As all riders know, swinging a leg over someone else’s steed is usually asking for trouble. And that goes double in the world of custom builds. There’s always the fear of potential damage—and then envy strikes, with the desire to create something faster and more beautiful of your own.

And that’s what happened when Fabian from Young Guns Speed Shop settled into the saddle of Lucky Cat’s BMW Sprintbeemer. Like the famous Sprintbeemer, ‘Ferdinand the Sparrow’ is a stretched and spartan 1/8-mile sprinter.

Speed is its main mission, but there is infinite appeal in its gut-punch aesthetic. The 1200cc engine, transplanted from a 2007 Moto Guzzi Norge, is perched in a ’76 Le Mans 1 frame. The frame and forks have been modified to help Ferdinand fly as low as possible—with the oil pan constantly flirting with a cracked pavement disaster.

Nik and Fabian also handcrafted the tank and steering head, and rigid-mounted a Guzzi California swingarm stretched by 12 centimeters. That they did all of this in just five weeks is a testament to their abilities and the power of inspiration. [Via]

BMW R 1100 GS ‘Urban Scrambler’ by Officine Sbrannetti The BMW GS is built to tackle everything from twisting tarmac to rutted single track. It’s a Swiss army knife on two-wheels, so customization is usually limited to farkles for ‘round the world pursuits and the stickers that prove it. That’s why seeing this one, an Urban Scrambler created by Officine Sbrannetti, is so damned captivating.

It may not be a 300-pound jackrabbit, but there’s a lot to like about this. The shortened chassis gives the GS a more slender, almost lithe appearance—that fits with those knobbies even more than the original. Swapping in a traditional front fender for the hallmark beak design earns it instant street cred without detracting from its off-road aesthetic.

The detailing is exquisite—note the diamond-stitched seat and matching leather tank strap, the custom gilded badging and the John Player Special paint scheme. This is the fourth GS to get the scrambler treatment by Officine Sbrannetti and it’s easily their best. [More]

Ducati 900 SS by Barn Built Bikes One look at this 2001 Ducati 900 SuperSport and my knee wants to drag. I want to feel my elbows touch my thighs, and the kiss of a cold tank on my chin as I tuck in and prod that Desmo to wail. No doubt that’s exactly what goes through the mind of Sven, the co-owner and builder of this sultry machine, every time he fires it up.

The original plan behind this Belgian Duc was to create a showpiece for the shop. But during the early stages of the build, a client spotted what was going on—and wanted in on the action. His main requests were to add the number 13 ‘somewhere’ and to fit spoked wheels to maintain a spirit of the 70s. Everything else was left up to Sven, and he was meticulous in his vision.

The tank alone took four months to form and finish, and it’s beautiful: It accentuates the lines of the iconic trellis frame and the custom fabricated subframe.

As the story goes, Sven’s client fell into hard times and had retract his offer, so now Sven can tickle his chin any time he likes. [More]

Custom Yamaha XV by Pure Breed Cycles Guillaume Brochu, the Quebec-based builder behind Pure Breed Cycles, has an idea of perfection: a stripped-bare, 320-pound stylized cafe racer with triple digit horsepower. It’s a simplicity we fully subscribe to.

This Virago tourer was put on a steady diet of grinding discs and street bike components. While it may still tip scales slightly higher than the ideal, the execution is inspiring. The big-twin engine is accentuated by a trick set of snaking pipes, culminating in a Zard undermount muffler unit.

The subframe has been shortened, and a rear loop fabricated to highlight the humped seat with integrated rear lighting. My personal favorites are how the go-fast parts—like the inverted fork R6 front-end with a dual 4-piston brake kit, and a remote reservoir rear shock—contrast with original elements like the drum brakes out back.

Monsieur Brochu prides himself on building a bike to suit its owner; were this one not spoken for, I’d consider making him an offer. [More]

Yamaha XS650 Tracker Michael van Rossen has rebuilt this XS650 no less than three times. it began as a school restoration project, thanks to the low entry fee of the parallel twin Yammie, and then morphed into a very tidy cafe racer. But the Dutch E10 petrol started eating away at the fiberglass fuel cell, so the design direction changed yet again.

Michael sourced a smaller peanut-style YZ400 tank on eBay, but its style didn’t jive with the cafe approach. So Michael turned to the flat track look—a genre not yet popular in his Amsterdam hometown.

The engine had already been built to handle a heavy right wrist and, as Michael puts it, “the ride is now a lot more comfortable than laying on a gas tank.” After twenty years together, Michael is still very attached to his XS—but whether the tracker treatment sticks, only time will tell. [More]

A hill climbing Indian Scout, a Moto Guzzi Stelvio tweaked by a Dakar racer, and the bastard lovechild of a Yamaha RD350 and a KTM Duke. Matt Neundorf picks the most interesting customs from the past week.

Indian Scout: The Black Hills Beast Built as a showpiece for this year’s Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, the Black Hills Beast is a hill climbing hellion—with enough attitude to keep the bar and shield crowd in check. Unbelievably, this modified Indian Motorcycles Scout from Doug Siddins and Nick Jaquez started out with some simple bolt-on parts from the Indian catalogue.

Of course, things escalated from there. The call from Indian was to “build a hill climber,” so Doug and Nick went to work by stretching a swing arm and adding chunky, chain-wrapped rubber to the rear. New tailor-made bars were installed up front, along with a number plate with integrated LED lights. The final touch was a new set of pipes to make sure every one of the Scout’s hundred angry horses could be heard throughout the Black Hills.

BMW K100 TT Cafe Racer by BSK Speedworks You might say motorcycles are a family tradition for BSK Speedworks owner Ben Kingham. His grandfather owned one of the first bike shops in the USA, and Ben and his father continued the legacy by building and racing their own creations in vintage events. Now Ben’s shop is turning out some of the prettiest K-Series builds going—just a few blocks from his grandfather’s original shop locale.

The BMW K100 was one of the first bikes to feature fuel injection. But mapping and tuning a 30+ year old ECU can be an exercise in futility. BSK specializes in transplanting modern ECUs into inline Bavarians, and this TT Cafe Racer is the latest example of their expertise. Built as a homage to Georg Meier’s 1939 TT winner, this K-series has had its frame chopped, its suspension swapped (for longer travel out back), clip-ons added, and a set of in-house BSK rearsets fitted. It’s an extremely clean build and, thanks to deft tuning, runs with the best of them.

Eagle Cross MKI by Bruno Birbes Bruno Birbes is a Dakar Rally veteran. He made it to Stage 4 on a BMW in 1987 before injuries forced retirement, and completed the 1994 campaign in a truck in 10th place. So the inspiration behind his oddball Guzzi makes sense.

Beginning with an omni-capable Moto Guzzi Stelvio, Birbes went to work stripping unnecessary bulk and heft. The modern amenities of a big ADV bike serve no purpose for speed, so approximately 50kg of luxuries are gone. There’s a one-off tank with a svelte waistline more in tune with the demands of desert riding, a custom exhaust, and thick chunky rubber.

From a distance it looks like a supermotard with an identity crisis, but up close, Birbes’ detail work shines. If Ewan McGregor had laid eyes on this beast, The Long Way Round may have looked very different—and ended in half the time.

Royal Enfield 350 Thunderbird by Bull City Customs They’re based in New Delhi, India, so it’s no surprise that Reginald Hilt of Bull City Customs favors Royal Enfields for his builds. For this latest creation, Reginald reworked a 350 Thunderbird into a sinister Brat-style cafe racer.

The rear sub-frame was tweaked to allow for the custom, stretched swingarm and monoshock suspension, and then painted crimson. That deep garnet pigment draws eyes like moths to a flame, set off by the champagne-silver paint on the custom tail and the angular, one-off tank. The 346cc twin-spark thumper powering this brat remains mostly stock though—save for a free-breathing intake and shielded exhaust. Although, I get the feeling from the well-worn pipe wrap, this Bird still thunders.

RD Duke by Inline3 Start talking about the good old days of 2-stroke, and the nostalgia will fill a room quicker than the smell of mixed gas in the pits. Just eavesdropping on an “angry can of bees” at full tilt in the distance is enough to cover any pistonhead’s body in goose bumps.

This love of every stroke being a power stroke is precisely why Chandigarh, India based Aseem Singh Pawar envisioned giving new life to an old favorite. Of course, with an University education in design, simply restoring an old oil-burner wasn’t enough. Enter the RD Duke: a hybrid between a Yamaha RD350 and a KTM Duke. What sounded simple was far from it, and the project took Aseem over three months just to fabricate effective engine mounts. Learning about his limitations but sticking with his design, Aseem enlisted the help of local experts to translate his ethereal shapes into sheet metal reality.

The result is nothing short of staggering. Aseem has since begun courses in metal work with hopes of making Inline3 one of the next big names in the Indian custom bike world. We’ll be watching.

Yamaha XS650 by KickMoto When the call came in that a friend had “a few XS650s squirrelled away in his mom’s basement,” Nova Scotia-based KickMoto got down to business. This donor bike, a 1981 Yamaha XS650, was the best of the bunch—but it still needed major work. Previous mods and years of inactivity had left it a little lacking in every department.

Stripped bare, the rebuild began by deburring the frame and welding in a rear hoop. The front forks were shortened and rear shocks swapped for Hagons, to give XS650 its fighting stance. A set of spoked wheels from a 1972 XS2 were fitted and the engine was re-wired to be kick-start only—a KickMoto signature. This cleaned things up even more, so the bespoke details could stand out. The matching exhaust tips and foot pegs are all in-house, lathe-turned and absolutely exquisite. The custom seat, flush-mount LED rear lights and custom battery box mounted just above the swingarm, finish off this impressive build. Oh Canada, indeed.

A CB550 named after a British torpedo bomber, a BMW R nineT inspired by the Bauhaus movement and a pearler of a Kawasaki W650 from Deus in Sydney. Matt Neundorf cherry-picks the best customs from the interwebs.

Old Empire Motorcycles ‘Ripon’ Given the sleek and hunkered down lines of this Honda CB550, it makes complete sense that its Norfolk-based builders named it after a British bomber. However, I doubt any flyboys ever enjoyed vehicles as elegant as those created by Old Empire Motorcycles. Essentially everything from the donor bike has been chopped, cut or modified—and the suspension work is as trick a set-up as I’ve ever seen.

To maintain the clean, flowing lines initiated by the low-slung cowl, a pull-type shock was co-opted from a Buell and mounted beneath the motor. Of course that meant breaking out the slide-rules and re-engineering not only the swingarm geometry but also the front-end set-up, to ensure aesthetics and rideability. British ingenuity at its finest. [More]

Plan B Motorcycles ‘Cherry Salt’ When this Buell M2 Cyclone was first fired up in the East Troy factory, who’d have thought it would be tearing down the drag strip 16 years later at the Glemseck 101 sprints? Christian Moretti of Plan B Motorcycles was inspired by a similarly air-cooled BMW racer from Lucky Cat Garage and went to work on a bike that could trounce all comers.

The purpose-built tube frame was welded together by the skilled race engineers at Verlicchi, but Plan B tackled everything else in-house. The Buell’s original swingarm was adapted to fit, and strengthened to handle the increased torque. The fuel cell is a one-off design, with an expertly placed divot to bury the rider’s chin. And you could lose yourself staring at the paintwork, so we’ll just leave it at that. Sadly, Cherry Salt didn’t win at Glemseck—but making the finals on your first time out is not bad at all for a one-man workshop. [More]

Deus Kawasaki W650 ‘Red Pill’ Surfing and motorcycles share a spiritual mindset that outsiders don’t always seem to get. Maybe it’s being comfortable alone, and at one with your surroundings. Or maybe it’s about choosing the red pill of reality, and finding out how deep the rabbit hole goes.

This Kawasaki W650 was sent to head builder Jeremy Tagand at Deus’ Sydney headquarters with a simple request: a low, lean surf bike. Monsieur Tagand obliged with subtle and tasteful surgery that saw removal of the airbox, shorter travel suspension at both ends, and a custom, wrapped exhaust. There’s a surfboard rack too, with a quick-release removal system for rides when the tide is out. [More]

Custom BMW R60 by Wang Motorcycles Most custom bikes scream ‘Look At Me!’ but there’s a lot to be said for keeping things low-key. This classic BMW R60 comes from Wang Motorcycles, a lesser-known shop in The Hague, Netherlands.

Wang are most definitely glad to be grey, with a scarlet red leather seat providing the biggest splash of color. For us, the highlight is the unusual shape of the tank—a welcome relief from the usual bulky ‘toasters’ found on older BMWs. And the curve of the blacked-out custom exhaust system mirrors the odd shape of the engine perfectly. A builder worth keeping an eye on. [More]

Moto Sumisura’s BMW R nineT It’s hard to know exactly where to start with this radical redux of BMW’s classic roadster. Clearly polarizing in style, the Sumisura nineT is unique, intriguing and utterly impeccable in its craftsmanship.

Inspired by the Bauhaus movement that led to BMW’s original R32, this raw steel, aluminum and brass beast is tailored in the utmost steampunk ways. If you squint, you can see the lines of the R32 in the hand-built tank, fenders and solo seat. And when you re-focus, everything else falls into place. The meticulously wire-wound grips and skillfully machined indicators juxtapose raw, exposed and unground brazing at every weld. Like a fine Islay malt, you may have to acquire a taste for this one. But once you do, nothing else will seem the same. [More]

A CB750 plastered with gas station signs, a Yamaha RD350 turned into an oddball dual-sport weapon, and a show-winning Norton Atlas bobber. Matt Neundorf presents the most interesting customs breaking cover over the past week.

Honda CB750 Cafe by Vibrazioni Art Design The Daft Punk-esque duo from Vibrazioni Art Design have a penchant for welder’s masks—and turning nostalgic gas station paraphernalia into rolling works of art. Pennzoil takes center stage on this industrial CB750 build, which is devoid of anything befitting a garage queen.

It’s dirty, it’s raw, and it’s finished with a heavy dose of patina. This OG superbike looks like it could teach a new CBR a thing or two around the bends at San Marino. [More]

Ducati Monster W101 Café Racer by Affetto Ducati Until its recent redesign, the Ducati Monster was a raw interpretation of naked speed on two wheels. This café racer version from the Netherlands Ducati specialist serves as a glorious reminder of the visceral reaction that simplicity can elicit.

The wheels on this Monster were swapped to 17-inch units to improve handling and looks. The brakes were upgraded to 996 spec, and from there—in true café tradition—everything unnecessary was eliminated. There are lots of handmade touches that set this bike apart, but the cheeky exhaust is what holds my gaze every time I see it. Bellissima! [More]

#88 Dual Racer Yamaha XV by Magnum Opus The original intent behind the cafe racer movement was to add speed by shedding weight. When the build team at Magnum Opus completed their surgery on this Virago, some fifty to sixty pounds of OEM excess had been lopped off.

Hand built parts like the rear subframe, the new headlight and those exquisite down-shooting pipes help with the lightness as well as the looks. Other subtle touches involved swapping the tank for a CB750 unit, and fitting a tucked-and-rolled Motolanna seat to the modified frame—creating a stance and aesthetic that can’t be ignored. The dual sport rubber is a nice touch, too. [More]

The Villain by Drifter Bikes A popular move for many builders is to cut the rear frame to shed weight, clean up the lines and facilitate an overall aesthetic. But on this 1973 Bonneville, dubbed The Villain, Paul from the Australian builder Drifter Bikes decided to go the opposite way—leaving the rear frame intact and customizing everything else to fit.

He’s repositioned the tank to create balance, and fabricated a custom, minimalist seat to fit the stock frame. But what sets this package off completely are those upswept flowing pipes that match the lines of the subframe support perfectly. [More]

Yamaha RD350 by Threepence Moto This oddball Yamaha RD350 was crafted by Colorado-based Wesley Case to survive a run on the Trans-America Trail. The long-travel suspension is a must for tackling the gravel roads from Tennessee to Oregon, and a custom three-chamber gas tank keeps the two-stroke chugging during long days.

After the completion of the planned journey next year, Wes will be raffling off this mechanized jackrabbit: all proceeds will go to the Childhood Leukemia Foundation, in honor of a friend lost to the disease. [More]

Norton Atlas by Matt Machine If you were lucky enough to attend this year’s Born Free show, this custom Norton Atlas may look a touch familiar: it took home the trophy for Best British Build at the show.

It’s easy to see why. The crisp and clean lines of Matt Darwon’s Norton are nothing short of captivating. Combining elements from the bobber and flat-track styles, this heavily modified predecessor to the Commando looks like an absolute riot to ride. From the springer front end to the rigid rear set-up, it’s the absence of excess—the purposeful voids—that truly set this build off. [More]

New Series: Bikes of the Week

Post author By Matt Neundorf
Post date September 20, 2015

This week, we’re starting a new series: a roundup of the most interesting customs from around the web. Our roving reporter is Matt Neundorf, an occasional bike builder with a dismantled Triumph in his garage (and a sideline as Gear Patrol’s motorcycling correspondent). Take it away, Matt.

DeBolex Mk6 Kawasaki W800 Learning about the effort that has gone into a build creates greater appreciation for the final product. For this tracker-style Kawasaki W800, the London based DeBolex team tackled the battery first—and hiding a large black rectangle isn’t easy.

With adjustments to the rear brakes, Calum and Desmond were able to shoehorn a Shorai under the swingarm. The seat covering is waxed canvas, a notoriously inflexible fabric, and there’s a fluted box beneath the saddle to hide the wiring. The DeBolex Mk6 is a performer too: entered into the Malle Mile, it squared off against another DeBolex creation in the final race. [More]

Honda CB750 F2 This stunning 1977 CB750 is the first creation of Denmark’s Frederik Christensen. In fact, this is Frederik’s first motorcycle, full stop. After purchasing the old Honda, Frederik’s plan was to restore it to serve as daily transportation. But that soon changed: Inspired by the style of bike being created by the Wrenchmonkees, Frederik lightened and lowered his Honda over the course of two winters.

The engine was rebuilt and custom touches were added. For a first build this is more than impressive. Oh, and did we mention Frederik is only twenty-two? Keep your eyes peeled for more exciting things from this talented Dane; we certainly will. [More]

Suzuki Bandit D’Bandido Based on a 1995 GSF400 Bandit, this bold and blue cafe racer comes to us from Jakarta, Indonesia. Built by the skilled hands of Studio Motor Works, D’Bandido was stripped of its plastics and rebuilt with modern niceties and custom inclusions. The tank was modified to include integrated side-pod covers, the subframe was chopped and hooped, and the electronics and battery were shifted to under the seat. There’s an aggressive stance to match the new clip-ons and the package is impeccably clean—it’d turn heads even if it weren’t such a gorgeous shade of blue. [More]

GT-Moto R75/5 When this 1973 BMW R75/5 was originally purchased by the creative minds at GT-Moto, they knew a restoration was out of the question. The bike was too far gone, with too many non-original parts. So they set about building a bobber—one of the most unique bobbers we’ve come across.

I’ve always been fan of the springer front end, and the custom work on this DNA unit looks exquisite. The axle, handlebars and steering damper needed to be bespoke creations to make it all work, and work it does. All the modifications to this Oklahoma find were tackled in-house and executed sublimely—including the hollowed-out fuel cell, which houses the battery, and the rear lighting assembly that’s integrated into the seat pan. [More]

Unikat Motorworks Honda CB550 Everything coming out of Poland’s Unikat Motorworks is branded as being ‘1 of 1.’ Grzegorz Korczak, a former cinematographer, designs his bikes in the virtual world before lifting any tools.

Grzegorz’s background in visual arts is immediately evident with this stunning CB550. It retains much of the Honda’s stock form, but accentuates its charm—making it more of an aesthetic tweak than a total transformation. It holds true to Grzegorz’s build philosophy, which is to add visual perfection to motorcycles with a bespoke approach. [More]
