SALVAGE OPERATION: Honda CB750 by Sabotage Motorcycles.

Honda CB750, check. Firestones, check. Tan seat and clip-ons, check and check. The photos tell a story we’ve heard before. However, as I sat with Giles and Andy of Sabotage Motorcycles in their new warehouse space in the back streets of Sydney, Australia,...

FROM JUNK TO STEAMPUNK: Honda CB750 ‘Douglas’ by Atomic Contraptions.

GATEWAY DRUG: BMW R100 ‘The Narcotic’ by Ironwood Custom Motorcycles

Just when you thought the addiction to the BMW R had peaked, a whole new wave takes the plunge, desperate for their taste of the boxer twin. It's easy to see why, built right they're more reliable than many brand new machines and offer a level of character...

Pepo vs. The World

Having sadly not yet had the opportunity to meet Pepo Rosell in person, nor seen his workshop I can only imagine a nutty professor style underground lair with countless shelves, reaching from floor to ceiling, laden with motorcycle...

RAD RETRO REMAKE: Honda CBX750 by AMP Motorcycles

From Mr. T's haircut to the DeLorean, shoulder pads and the Rubik's Cube, everything that was popular in the '80s seemed to have square edges. Add the fashion, some of that god awful synthesiser music and boy is it a decade that leaves a lot to be desired....

INTO THE WILD: BMW R100GS by Woidwerk
