Ferrari Formula One Team Racecar Chopper

By

Choppers are not our specialty here but this Ferrari inspired Schumacher Tribute Chopper is a bit different. It's powered by a Triumph 955 triple which is fully enclosed by the Ferrari F1 style bodywork. It's for sale over on ebay and they have a video showing it running around a bit. The music drowns out the sound of the bike, but what you do hear isn't your normal chopper … [Read more...]

Tailgunner Streetfighter – Hell’s Tailgunner

By

Do you remember the Tailgunner Rotary Cannon Exhaust we mentioned back in January? Strictly a custom chopper piece, right? Well, the guys over at Angry Guy Streetfighters decided it would be perfect for a Honda CBR900RR based custom and built the Hell's Tailgunner streetfighter and sure enough, there's a rotary cannon exhaust sticking out the back.

Motorcycle Builders – JVB Moto – Ducati Custom

This one is nice, really nice. JvB Moto, operating out of Cologne, Germany, won the Ducati Design contest in 2004 with his creation called Flat Red. All wiring is hidden for a clean look and he relocated the battery, electrics and the oil cooler to free up space for a redesigned fuel tank and airbox. Overall, this is one good looking Ducati. My only small quibble would be … [Read more...]

Motorcycle Builders – MotoCreations – Mark Savory

By

Mark Savory took a rather circuitous route to where he is today. An early interest in design then studies in engineering and computer science, a bit of IMSA racing, restoring a classic Ferrari, working in the computer field and then following all this with a dot com startup company that finally got it right (after two that didn't), meant Mark was able to relax just a bit. … [Read more...]
