Built to mock the stereotypes of biker builds that have taken over in some circles, this ridiculous Honda allows you to “grab your flannel, beard oil and PBR and get a taste of the NW moto scene astride one of the most unique and tastefully constructed steeds you will ever lay your eyes on.” Ever ridden a bike with a …
1986 Honda Helix Custom
A cheap Honda with custom seats and a body kit? It’s the Fast and Furious of scooters!
“1962” Norton Atlas Cafe Racer
Post Listing Update: After being relisted, this cafe’d Atlas got bidding up to $11,300 with the reserve not yet met. It was then sold off of eBay to a Bike-urious reader! When I was in High School, we read lurid accounts of the Mods v the Rockers in England. Gang fights, loose women, motorcycles. Think West Side Story with much …
Extra Special – 1968 BSA Victor Special Custom
In keeping with the recent trend in customized BSAs, here is another very “Special” BSA Victor Special. Your opinion may vary…
Unexpected Chopper – 1973 Honda CB350F
This is a little weird, but I appreciate that it’s a period chopper – according to the seller, this ’73 CB was converted into a chopper in 1974. The seller acquired it from the first owner and he’s got the original fork tubes if you want to bring it back to stock (but if you want a stock example, just …
Rare Custom – 1983 Amazonas
View Post1984 Honda Sabre VF700S Custom
The 698cc Sabre was one of Honda’s creations built to get around the tax imposed on imported motorcycles with engines of 700cc and up. By all accounts it was a solid touring bike, but because they were sold for just two years you rarely see custom builds based on this platform. Well, here’s one of the rare ones…but do you …
Composimo Built – 2015 Honda Grom Custom
Over the years, a custom Grom built by Composimo has been the most popular post on Bike-urious. I don’t think this will be as popular, but it’s an interesting effort that was built for last year’s Handbuilt Motorcycle Show.
1966 Norton Atlas Cafe Racer
Post Listing Update: This Atlas cafe did not meet reserve with 21 bids up to $6,000. It seems that my buddy Tom Wacker ruffled a few feathers with his last post about an Atlas, so I’m curious to see how y’all respond to this non-stock example. =)
“Woody” – 1979 Honda CX500 Custom
I don’t understand this listing, and I don’t really like the bike. The combination of the two is just so odd that I feel obligated to share it. So, what the heck are we looking at?
1946 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead Chopper
Flashback to 1971. Literally. Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper had sprung “Easy Rider” on the unsuspecting public in 1969 and the drive in theaters were full of classic movies like “The Hard Ride”, “Chrome and Hot Leather” and “The Wild Riders”. All of which seemed to star motorcycles, and particularly choppers. Lots of chrome, lots of noise, little substance.
Mild Custom – 1958 Ariel Square Four
By 1958 the Ariel Square Four was considered one of the premier motorcycles on earth. A huge powerplant, incredibly smooth, fast. Edward Turner (who would go on to design the Triumph Speed Twin) designed the twin crank 4 cylinder single head motor in the late 1920’s and sold it to Ariel who successfully brought it to market in 1936. It …
Viktoria – 1978 BMW R100S Custom
Built by Brandon Wulf of Bavarian Cafe, this custom BMW started as a R100S. It received a ‘frame up restoration’ and gorgeous bodywork from Ritmo Sereno. This means we get to play another game of ‘how much is a custom bike worth?’
Sitting Since the 70s – 1947 Velocette MSS 500 Custom
The seller of this bike (same guy with the nifty Triumph flat tracker from yesterday) acquired it from this father upon the latter’s death nearly a decade ago. His dad used to race it in SoCal in the 50s on hill climbs, hare scramblers, flat tracks, and more – plus at one point it was street legal, to boot.
