Parr Motorcycles Custom Suzuki DR-Z400

Spencer Parr’s journey with the DRZ Scorpion 434 is nothing short of a full-throttle success story. Back in 2018, when we first met Spencer, he was a police investigator, fresh into the bike-building world, working out of his home garage and battling vision loss due to cancer. Fast forward to 2024, and Parr Motorcycles is now a big name in custom bike building.

Single-cylinder motorcycles are some of my favorites. Yamaha’s XT600 bikes are some of the best out there. And this is a beautiful custom Yamaha XT600.

It’s a dual-sport, adventure, scrambler machine like no other.

Supercharged Honda GL1000 Gold Wing Custom Cafe Racer

This year has seen some odd and frankly horrible things, including a global pandemic, so as far as getting weird goes, I think we’re all entitled. This Supercharged Honda GL1000 Gold Wing cafe racer is the kind of weird I encourage.

The bike is the last thing you’d expect when you think Gold Wing, from the beautiful red paint to the low handlebars to the funky vertically oriented headlight.

It’s an odd bike and fitting one for 2020. Railman Mark Nevitt built it, and I’m sure glad he did.

Honda XL175 Bobber by Andrew Fletcher-Love

Here’s a unique and interesing bike that I didn’t expect to see. It’s a Honda XL175 Bobber.

Harley-Davidson Softail Cafe Racer by Mr. Martini

Nicola Martini is known as Mr. Martini in the custom bike world, and he built a Harley-Davidson Softail Cafe Racer out of an HD Fat Boy.

When most people think Fat Boy, they don’t think cafe racer. The Softail model is a cruiser best known for its solid cast wheels and badass attitude.

This transformation is a striking one and shows just how versatile the Fat Boy can be in the right hands.

Yamaha XT550 “La Lupa” by Francis Von Tuto

The Yamaha XT550 is one of my favorite bikes to see customized, and this bike called La Lupa built by Francis Von Tuto is no exception. It’s a beautiful motorcycle.

The XT550 is a unique motorcycle and it makes for a great scrambler or tracker design as you can see here.

It is a bike that came out in the 1980s and it has aged really well. This custom is great because it’s still recognizable as a Yamaha XT550.
