Check Out This Custom BMW R12 by MOONEYES

When BMW wanted their R12 transformed into a custom cruiser that embodied Japan’s bold custom scene, they turned to the legendary MOONEYES (among other amazing builders), who know a thing or two about speed and style.

The vision? Channeling the ‘sense of speed’ from MOONEYES’ classic racers, and nothing says “speed” like their iconic moon disc wheel covers. But those covers required a precise fit—new rims and custom curvature to clear the brakes.

Check Out This Custom Yamaha RD400 by RSD

The crackle and scent of a two-stroke engine—the smoke curling from the exhaust, the unmistakable melody of a bygone era—remains a cherished memory for many.

Outside the dirt bike world, those rings of smoke have largely drifted away, leaving only the truly devoted to keep the ring-a-ding chorus alive. For one Yamaha RD400 owner, the bond was more than just mechanical; it was familial.

Check Out This BSA A10 Super Rocket

Flat track racing. If America had one contribution to motorsport that screams its soul, it’s the glorious ballet of sliding sideways on dirt ovals. Names like Kenny Roberts, Wayne Rainey, and Dick Mann made their names in this gritty arena. Mann, for instance, even took a British BSA to the top, winning the ’63 Grand National. And that’s where Jeff Duval, historian and bike builder at Jets Forever, enters the scene with his beautifully restored BSA A10 Super Rocket, nicknamed ‘Anaheim.’

Roughchild Custom BMW R90

A Malibu owner with a 911 Turbo wanted a matching BMW R90 for his weekend canyon jaunts, and naturally, he called Robert. The result? A 1974 custom BMW R90 brought back from the brink—restored, refined, and ready to ride. It is absolutely beautiful.

Parr Motorcycles Custom Suzuki DR-Z400

Spencer Parr’s journey with the DRZ Scorpion 434 is nothing short of a full-throttle success story.

Fast forward to 2024, and Parr Motorcycles is now a big name in custom bike building.
