If you like vintage Moto Guzzis, here’s one to get you smiling, it’s called Cherry O, a 1973 Moto Guzzi V7 Sport, very lightly modified and beautifully restored, painted in a dazzling yet classy Candy Apple Red. I came across this bike in the current issue of Motorcycle Classics, and from any angle, if you’re [...]

Most of you are familiar with the Triumph Hurricane X75 designed by Craig Vetter. It’s a classic with 3 upswept pipes and red orange bodywork. Jean François Vicente, who we saw before when we highlighted some of his classic cafe work, did a custom he calls the Millenium 900. A customer wanted him to build [...]
If you’re going to build a custom bike, why not build one that handles like a real motorcycle? Stellan Egeland certainly seems to think that way and he sent me a note about his new video. He came home from the World Championship the other day with his Harrier in tow and the very next [...]
The V-Quad engine, basically a side by side V-Twin, that Greg Nelson produces, was installed in a custom motorcycle built by Brouhard Design for owner Mike Maggio. They took it to Bonneville recently and Maggio ran 164.172 mph for a new record in the APGU class. This is an open motorcycle (no fairings or streamlining), [...]
The fellows over at Motorcycle News have a short teaser of Allen Millyard’s new 500 horsepower Viper V10 motorcycle. The V10 really needs no special tuning to get that output so all you have to do is fit the engine into a frame, … yeah, that’s all. Unlike the Chrysler Tomahawk show bike from years [...]

He kept building while earning his MFA in design and metal arts from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Then he apprenticed under one of Japan’s most [...]
Jesse Rooke showed up at the AMD show with Shavonna to compete in the Modified Harley-Davidson class. It’s a modified 883 Sportster, single sided swingarm, Trask Performance turbo and pieces from Storz, Ohlins and more. I like the look and it’s not so radical that another builder couldn’t do much the same thing. Sometimes not [...]
Fred Krugger placed 3rd in the AMD Championship with Overmile, an S&S 103 inch powered custom that looks like a real bike you could ride and enjoy, something customs have not always tried to do. A Baker Powerbox 6 speed gets the power to the wheel, Ohlins handles the bumps up front, Beringer slows it [...]
