Custom Kawasaki 250TR by Heiwa Motorcycle

This is a custom Kawasaki 250TR, a scrambler forged by the quiet and precise hands of Kengo Kimura at Heiwa Motorcycle in Hiroshima, Japan. Kimura-san’s philosophy is about distillation, about creating a machine where every single component has a purpose, a reason for being there.

The 250TR, a simple, air-cooled single-cylinder from the early 2000s, was the perfect starting point for this custom, which has been christened “250TR No. 018.”

Ducati Cafe Racer Custom by RF-Biketech

Alright, let’s talk about a motorcycle that decided to trade in its fun-loving nature for a scrapper’s edge. This is a custom Ducati Scrambler, a street brawler with a touch of café racer style, born from the precision-minded folks at the German workshop RF-Biketech.

They were commissioned by a Ducati dealership to take that playful factory bike and give it a serious, menacing attitude.

Three-Cylinder Motor Bike by Florian Hauser

Alright, let’s talk about a machine that’s a true piece of engineering artistry, born from a desire to create something entirely unique. This is the “Triple Bike,” a three-cylinder, two-stroke motorized bicycle, the most complex project to date from Florian Hauser of F84 Engineering.

Florian, a man who believes two-stroke engines have more soul than anything short of a V12, set out to build something that was all his own.

Norton-Harley ‘Norley’ Custom Motorcycle by Cédric Camiade

This is “The Onyx,” a “Norley” forged by the hands of a French artisan named Cédric Camiade. A Norley, for the uninitiated, is a rare beast: a Harley-Davidson engine nestled within the graceful lines of a Norton Featherbed frame.

Cédric, a man steeped in the world of motorcycles, found his inspiration for this particular build while in Sri Lanka, mesmerized by a deep black onyx stone. The result? A motorcycle that wears that same elegance, a stunning interplay of black bodywork and gleaming chrome.

Custom Honda XR400R by Prutti

This is a custom Honda XR400R, a true “Baja-Style Weapon,” forged by the hands of an Australian builder and content creator known as Prutti. The Honda XR400R, first unleashed in ’96 and revered for its rock-solid reliability long after its 2004 production end, was the perfect canvas.

Prutti’s vision? To craft the “ultimate middleweight XR,” a machine that blended style, nostalgia, and the kind of hard-nosed functionality needed for multi-day expeditions deep into the bush.

Custom Triumph Bonneville T100 by Heiwa Motorcycles

This custom Triumph Bonneville T100, born from the legendary workshop of Japan’s Heiwa Motorcycles. Kengo Kimura, the quiet genius behind Heiwa, is a man known for conjuring both wild showpieces and these delightful, everyday custom machines.

For this particular project, Kimura-san chose an older, air-cooled 2000 model Bonneville T100, packing a 790cc engine. A smart choice, as these are more accessible and perfectly suited for what he envisioned: a true “bar hopper.”

BMW R100/7 Custom by Motor Force

Alright, now we’ve got a truly special machine to talk about. This is “Tsurugi,” a custom BMW R100/7, a ten-year anniversary build by Motor Force, and let me tell you, she caused quite a stir at The Bike Shed Show in London.

Mikio Yamada, the man behind this metal marvel, poured countless hours into transforming a humble R100/7 donor from 2022 into this singular creation.

Thunderbike RockSTar Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST Custom

Here’s the Thunderbike RockSTar, a custom machine born from the bones of a Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST.

This particular creation serves as a respectful nod to the factory’s striking “Tobacco Fade” paint, a finish Thunderbike carefully preserved even as they wove in a series of subtle, yet truly impactful, custom touches.

Check Out This Custom 1948 Harley-Davidson Panhead

Picture this: a flat-out, custom-built contraption, a 1948 Harley-Davidson Panhead, but this beauty’s got a secret, a heart ripped right out of a wartime flying machine.

A fellow with grease under his fingernails and dreams in his head, a real mechanical wizard, decided he wasn’t content with the usual kick-start dance. Sean Jackson, from Competition Distributing, is a mechanical enthusiast and vintage motorcycle lover. He built this beauty.

Check Out This Custom BMW R100RS Cafe Racer by Minami Motorcycle

This old BMW R100RS, a machine of forgotten grandeur, has found new life in the hands of Kenji Heianzan at Minami Motorcycle, a quiet corner of Tokyo where custom bikes of a special quality are born.

Kenji, a craftsman with a unique vision, isn’t as interested in gleaming new parts or factory perfection. No, his canvas is the discarded, the forgotten, the parts that whisper tales of roads long traveled. He breathes life into what others cast aside, fashioning cafe racers that hum with an outcast spirit all their own.
