This cool street tracker is based on a ’02 Harley Sportster. It’s claimed to be in perfect condition and it’s just been completed, with lots of little touches including an automotive style key ignition.
In England – 2014 Yamaha SR400 by Kevil’s Moto
Starting with a modern Yamaha SR400, Kevil’s Speed Shop has built a street scrambler that ideally gives you vintage style with modern reliability. How do you think it looks?
Full Custom – 1955 Triumph TR6
Normally, I’m not a really huge fan of shop customized motorcycles. I love what people do to their own rides, but normally a checkbook custom leaves me cold. This one doesn’t.
Manx Tribute – 1957 Norton International
A period build with a pre-war engine, this Norton International has been built to look like the iconic Manx. Though it’s titled as a 1957, the engine is from twenty years prior.
1958 Triton
What do you get if you take the very best from two venerable manufacturers? In this case you get a 1958 Norton Featherbed frame with a 1978 Triumph Tiger powerplant wrapped up in custom cafe racer livery. You’ve probably heard of this mix before as a Triton (Triumph/Norton)
Zanzani Replica Racer – 1961 Motobi Sprite 250
Post Listing Update: This Motobi did not meet reserve with 13 bids up to $3,150. Motobi was founded in 1949 by the eldest of the 6 Benelli brothers. They became known for the “power egg” engine, and once they brought Primo Zanzani on board, they also became known for racing. Based on a 250cc Sprite, this Motobi has been converted …
In England – 2006 Kawasaki TR250 Custom
Mutt Motorcycles is based out of Birmingham, England, and their focus is on bringing “an exciting and fresh attitude to the small cc market at an affordable price.” While they now offer their own line of bikes in the UK, they also have a 15 year history of customizing bikes like this Kawasaki TR250.
Pantah in Portugal – 1987 Cagiva Alazzura 350 Custom
Built by Capelo’s Garage, this baby Pantah was shown at last year’s Bike Shed London show with 150 other bikes. The Alazzura is a rare platform for custom builds, even more so when you consider that this is a 350cc bike built to cope with Italian tax regulations.
Iron Lungs – 2015 Ducati Scrambler Custom
Built for last year’s Custom Rumble competition, this Ducati Scrambler custom (called “Iron Lungs”) is the result of a collaboration between Ducati Poland, Paweł Kozlowski, and 86 Gear Motorcycles. It doesn’t capture my interest like other entrants (say Untitled Motorcycles’ HyperScrambler), but it apparently won the social media contest of most popular entrant. From there it went on to be …
In England – Deus Grievous Angel – Yamaha SR400
Deus calls this bike their “signature SR build“, and it’s a very pretty example of what a street tracker can look like. It’s not every day that a Deus build goes up for sale in the second hand market, so it’s always nice to see what the asking prices (and selling prices) are.
Joe Morris Build – 1982 Yamaha XJ650 Bobber
This Yamaha was desined to look like “a vintage pre war style bobber with a twist.” How do you think it came out?
Not Your Average Cafe Racer – 1982 Honda CX500/650 Custom
A lot of “cafe racers” these days are just a cleaned up old bike with some bodywork removed, clip-ons added, and maybe an aftermarket seat unit. Don’t get me wrong – that is, after all, how the whole genre was created back in the 60’s and 70’s. What makes one special is when you can assemble all those parts in …
750cc Update – 1962 BMW R60/2 Custom
This bike started as a BMW R60/2, but it has received the drivetrain from a R75/5. In the seller’s words, this makes the bike the “best of both worlds” as you get “a modern electric start 750cc motor with the classic looks of a 1960’s BMW.” Do you agree?
Dual Sport Conversion – 2009 Kawasaki ER-6n
Finding a ER-6n in the US is already difficult considering how poorly they sold. But if you really want to stand out, here’s one that’s been converted into a dual-sport. The builder’s goal was to make the bike look OEM, and he hasn’t done a bad job with it. Would you ride it?
“Burt” – 2002 Ducati Monster S4 Custom
The name isn’t elegant, but the bike sure is. Called “Burt”, this custom Monster S4 features an impressively long list of modifications, dominated by the Berlina Black/Imola Orange repaint.
