We love receiving bikes from all over the world but it's even better when there's a great story attached to them. Gilberto Manoch is a young Indonesian who was inspired to build a bike dedicated to his Dads amazing win in the 1963 Indonesian Grand prix race at Curug Airport. Tommy Manoch ended up winning the race in 250cc/350cc class as the youngest racer. Before the race Tommy wrote "Ulah Adigung" on the tank of his Honda CB250. Ulah Adigung means 'Don't be arrogant' in Indonesian and was a reminder to himself and other racers. It's also the name Gilberto has given to his 1982 Kawasaki KZ200 project. Just like his Father, Gilberto has motorcycles running in his blood and started a small custom shop in Jakarta called Mototrigger. You can check out more pics of this understated KZ200 on his Indonesian blog Paper Trigger.

To be honest I didn't know why Deus called their latest 2005 W650 the 'Bloodnok'. So I googled it. It turns out it was the name of a fictional character from the 1950s BBC Radio comedy called 'The Goon Show'. The character was voiced by Peter Sellers and the characterture on the modified Wellington peanut tank is of Major Bloodnok. It may not be the most original Deus build, probably taking some inspiration from Bratstyle, but there's no denying it looks the business. To read the spec list and to see more pics of this super clean Kawasaki W650 check out this gallery. Alternatively, if you are interested in hearing the 1950's radio show it was named after, you can listen to it here. 

This motorcycle was sent to us by one of our readers in Indonesia named Gifny Richata. The bike is a 1981 Kawasaki KZ200, back then in Indonesia it was the biggest bike available since the government limited the motorcycle's displacement on the market to under 200cc. It's the first bike made under the Hajarbroxx Motorcycle name. Hajarbroxx was created by Gifny and his motorcycle mechanic friend named Nandang. Together their dream is to create world class customs that stand out on the streets of Indonesia. Like most project bikes it was in very bad condition and wasn't running, so they completely rebuilt the engine to original condition with NOS parts. The gas tank is from a Suzuki TS100 and the exhaust is from a KTM950. The custom swingarm was handmade, approximately 7cm longer than the original and was made by a local smithy. The battery case and the headlight plate is also handmade from iron plate. The rear shocks are from new Suzuki GSX250. The rear brake is still the original drum one and the front brake set is taken from the new Suzuki GSX125 with the OEM disc - and that funky headlight is a light accessory from a car.

We love the story behind this killer Icon KZ1000. Back in 1979 this humble bike started life as a police bike in Portland - but now 30 years later it's on the other side of the law, ready to cause some trouble. The build started by removing the stock swingarm and replacing it with the swingarm and rear wheel from a '92 GSX-R750. The KZ1000 frame was modified to accept a SV monoshock - not quite sure about the Redbull can shock cover but we have been told it's already been removed. The engine was given a 1075cc Wiseco big bore kit and the front end is off the same Suzuki SV1000. Considering the bike is a motorcycle mash-up we can't believe how stunning it turned out. It not only looks great but we bet it would be a whole lot of fun to ride this monster. To read a very humorous story about this KZ, visit the Icon Blog. [Spotted on HFL] 

This is the latest creation out of the Deus 'temple of enthusiasm' - the name they call their Sydney headquarters. Deus love their W650's and we really love what they do to them. This 720cc bobber has been named the 'Sacred Cow', we are not exactly sure why but it could be because it's beefy, tasty and stands out from the herd. It has left Australian shores and is headed to Brooklyn to meet it's new owner Billy Joel. Billy has always been fond of the W650 and wanted this one to be a little different - with a parallel twin engine, T120 brake, twin pea shooter pipes, rigid rear kit and even a truck horn. We particularly love the rear end and brake light but not sure about the unfinished looking paint job on the tank. There are loads more stunning pictures at the Deus Sacred Cow Gallery.

It's not the first time these clever custom creators from Copenhagen have built a Kawasaki Z 750 B and it probably won't be their last. They used the Z 750 B on Monkee #13 and Monkee #15, although we loved them both we think this is the best to date. This Kawasaki has the their signature style written all over it. With custom Wrench Monkee (WM) seat, rear frame, aluminium battery box, rear fender, rear and front light, clip-ons and footpegs. They have completely rebuilt the original engine and added the classic Monkee Megatron Muffler. Like most of their bikes they have used the vintage Firestone Champion Deluxe tires and understated heat resistant paint scheme. To see more snapshots of this old school Z 750 and read the full list of specs check out the Monkee gallery. 

You may have notice that no motorcycles have been posted for a while. The reason being I am currently touring New Zealand on a holiday. Tomorrow I will attempt to post some of the bikes I have spotted in the Land of the Long White Cloud. Until then here's a sweet W650 from the Japanese shop M&M.
