Mele. Ducati 1199 Panigale Superbike. Yamaha XS400. It’s usually Yamaha’s XS650 that gets the custom treatment, so it’s nice to see a smaller capacity XS get a workover.
This tracker-style machine has a Yamaha XS400 motor squeezed into an XS250 frame, and it was built over a couple of years by Drew Scialpi-Sullivan, from rainy Manchester, England. He modified the frame to fit a Harley XR750 tail section, and designed a tank that would conceal a BMW brake master cylinder—to keep the Renthal bars looking as clean as possible. The engine has been freshened up with a light porting job, and fitted with NOS carbs and a custom fabricated exhaust. The clutch window is home-made and an XJ1300 blue spot caliper and TZR 125R disc help with the braking duties.
“The graphics are inspired by a pseudo 60s Japanese-stroke-Godzilla post war type thing,” says Drew. PS: Bike EXIF is now on Pinterest. Custom Motorcycles & Classic Motorcycles - BikeGlam. Copenhagen based custom bike shop Wrenchmonkees has given a retro feel to the Honda CB550 which is little more than a downsized CB750.
The Wrenchmonkees removed the rear frame, and built a custom exhaust system and new fenders. A new lower tank, shortened forks, small single saddle and big fat firestones lower the bikes overall appearance and give it an aggressive stance. The team fitted a new seat unit to complement the curvier looks of the bike and painted it in a timeless metallic brown. The result is a very stylish bike from inauspicious beginnings and it took the honors in the Open class.

Classified Moto have already shown the way, and here’s another terrific example—this time from Greg Hageman of Doc’s Chops. It’s a 1982 Yamaha XV750, and it was built for Season Two of Discovery Channel’s Cafe Racer TV show. Hageman built a new subframe to support the lovely, wasp-like seat unit, and lowered the forks by two inches to improve the stance. There’s a Tarozzi fork brace to tighten the handling, along with Tarozzi rearsets and clip-ons for a better riding position. At the back is an adjustable, air-assisted shock and a simple Acewell unit has replaced the standard instruments. The engine internals have been left alone, but the stock Hitachi carbs have been rejetted, fitted with K&N filters and matched to a free-flowing Mac Performance exhaust.

This is the first question we asked Troy Helmick, the builder of this amazing bike. “Willow trees are strong but fluid” he replied. Very zen, sensei Helmick. Troy is a retired photographer who now runs an Alpaca farm in West Virginia. “It is my attempt to evoke a picture in a person’s head when they hear a name and then couple that name with the image they see before them in my machine” he explains. “The natural tendency that I have is to lean toward the organic side of things. “The build took me just over a year to finish. “The velocity stacks were hand built by “Cannuck plumber” who resides in British Columbia.

To most people it’s a painting in a museum, a sculpture in an art gallery, or even a dramatic independent film that changed the way they think about life. By definition Art is the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.

A lot of the old timers are returning with some much needed upgrades; like the zx-14 and the Hayabusa with huge power gains. But there is also some new contendors, like the new 1199 Panigale, Ducati’s new flagship model and the answer to the all mighty S1000RR.

Moto Guzzi. Here’s an unusual take on the classic Moto Guzzi custom.
It’s called ‘Motomorphosy’, and it started life as an 850 T5 from 1984. When Alessandro (“Speedy”) bought the bike in the late 80s, he stripped it down for a more spartan but conventional custom look. The 850 became a feature around the bars of Piedmont in Italy until Alessandro dismantled it, taking the parts to Frankino Torredimare of the Chivasso custom shop Chopworks. Alessandro’s brief was to turn the Guzzi into a vintage American-style bobber. It was a slow but sure build: as Frankino started cutting and modifying the frame, the look mutated into that of a 40s-style ‘lakester’. The engine was overhauled and fitted with twin Dell’Orto carbs, along with ‘Cornetti’-style velocity stacks, a custom exhaust, and the valve covers from a V7. 464y0020.jpg (JPEG Imagen, 1000x1503 pixels) - Escalado (36%) (De)Motivational Motorcycle Posters Part 2 - 58 Posters from Bikes in the Fast Lane.

Bike skills by Danny Macaskill. BMW Ghost - Concept Motorcycle by Marko Petrovic. Bike of Prey I love a wild-inspired design, especially when its influence is so obvious.
The BMW Ghost is a glimpse into what the next generation of motorcycles will look like, and it goes without saying that animate-aesthetics are already starting to trend especially when it comes to vehicles and bikes (love it). Don’t let the gentle snowy white with blue detailing fool you- there’s a 1600 cc, 6 cylinder engine wrapped in that complex body. I’d name mine Hedwig. Why BMW? Designer: Marko Petrovic. Black Widow Steampunk Chopper. Black Widow Steampunk Chopper Steampunk has been an interesting form of art that just gives a classic look to average products and immortalize them with a unique design.
You may have seen some of the most amazing Steampunk gadgets or vehicles in the past, but the “Black Widow” from Solifague Design is an amazing custom Steampunk chopper to take the onlookers by awe and wonder. Though, we don’t have much technical info of the motorcycle mod, however, the metal beast seems to scorch the road in style. Video.
