Thursday, June 4, 2009 Vicious Cycle is a custom shop in Portland, Oregon renound for producing performance CB160 and Cb170 cafe racers with attitude. Love the simplicity of their bikes, stripped down in true cafe racer style. They look like they'd be loads of fun around the race track.
Thursday, June 4, 2009 MV Agusta are an old italian company that started life as an aviation company. After the Second world war they started making scooters for the demand for cheap transport. Their first prototype was ironically called 'Vespa 98' which they later learned was already registered by Piaggio.
They started making cafe racers in the 1950's and 60's. Then stopped making bikes altogether in the 80's. The name has been sold and traded over the years and is now owned by Harley Davidson. Will be interesting to see where Harley take the company. Lets hope they keep the classic Italian soul.
Wednesday, June 3, 2009 Joes V Cycle is run by Joe who used to be an Aircraft technician. His love for motorcycles and his gift for restoring has produced some amazing customs. Like this Norton Race Replica.
Saturday, May 30, 2009 The new Commando looks amazing. Made from the best parts money can buy. Brembo brakes, ohlins suspension and lightweight carbon fibre wheels. Watch Motorcyclenews take it for a test drive.
Thursday, May 28, 2009 This is how Deus does a Thruxton. I am not sure about colour choices. Love everything else including the white pipe. Aprilia RSV front end, twin flatside carbs and Ohlin rear shocks.
Thursday, May 28, 2009 Royal Enfield have announced 2 new models available in the states. The Bullet Classic C5 and the Bullet G5. They have the classic looks with the modern technology. From first impressions they look really nice. For all the specs and more detail visit Motorcycling Mag.
Monday, May 25, 2009 Heiwa is one of our favourite custom shops not just in Japan but in the world. This is one of the best XS650's I have seen. Right down to that little brake light. It makes me green with envy.
Sunday, May 24, 2009 This bike is a beautiful piece of history. Not only did it offer spectacular performance, it offered a set of features rarely seen on a sport bike. The four-stroke engine was able to satisfy the needs of any biker, including those interested in racing, without special customization (sadly to some like myself). This was the result of italian design and superior craftmanship, combining the potential of the twin-cylinder engine with the unrivalled mechanics of the legendary 750 Imola. BMWcycles just sold one with only 125 miles on it. Fresh out of the crate. Their site is worth checking out for other classic bikes for sale.
