10 YEARS ON: The F1 Tracker by Marcus Carlsson.

When Marcus “MotoDesign” Carlsson released his F1 Tracker in 2011, it’s fair to say that it caused something of a stir! Some people revelled in the unique style and skill, while others (perhaps the majority) aghast at the sight of such an over-the-top...

BUELL AND THE BEAST: XB12S by ROD Motorcycles.

If this bike had been around in May of '98, it would have been right at home in the octane fired film clip for Metallica's song Fuel. A bug catcher, big rubber and a thumping twin spitting out open pipes, this machine has Hot Rod written all over it. But you...

WEEKEND WITH A WEAPON: INDIAN FTR1200 S RACE REPLICA REVIEW.

When the FTR1200 concept photos first came out back in 2017, my first thought was if they make this bike I will sell my kidneys to buy it. A few years went by; when they did finally release it, it actually looked pretty close to the concept photos. The only...

URBAN WARFARE: 1998 Yamaha V-Max by Motocrew Cafe Racer.

BACK WITH A BANDIT: 1999 Suzuki Bandit 1200 by Zed Made.

It's one of the only memorable moments of The Godfather Part III, Michael's "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!" For Sander Ziugov the words ring true, but thankfully the sentiment is a hell of a lot different, as he was willingly drawn back...

MONOSHOCK NIGHTHAWK: 2002 Honda CB750 ‘Iron Horse’ by JM Customs.

Around the globe businesses big and small are hurting and it's easy to understand why, but in central Scotland on the banks of the River Tay one company is bucking the trend. Founded by James Moir, JM Customs is expanding at a rapid pace and providing the...

TURBO TIME: Turbocharged Ducati Monster ‘Strontium’ by Balamutti.

The Ducati Monster can arguably lay claim to saving the famous Italian brand, and what started out as a parts bin special under then owners Cagiva, has produced record sales and a cult following. From F1 drivers, stars of stage and screen, and the loyal...

STRIPPED-DOWN SUPERBIKE: Ducati 1199 Superleggera by Roland Sands Design.

When Ducati first released the 1199 Superleggera in 2014, it was unlike anything else that had ever come before it. Based on the Italian manufacturer’s already impressive Panigale R, the Superleggera featured a magnesium monocoque frame (and wheels), carbon...

THE PURSUIT OF PERFECTION: A pair of Yamaha XV920’s by Moose Motodesign.

Perfection is not so much something we achieve but a dream that we chase. For the automotive designer that pursuit means creating in the customer a deep desire, an emotional aesthetic, that grabs you and draws you in. For Tom Moose of Poland's Moose...
