5 Best Classic Motorcycles to Customize

Something I’ve been asked more than once is, “what are the best classic motorcycles to customize?”

I usually tell people the first thing they need to do if they have a classic motorcycle is to learn how to maintain it in its stock form. Then they can think about customization.

There’s nothing wrong with having a stock motorcycle. However, I completely get the appeal of a customized motorcycle. It allows you to put a personalized touch on your own machine and is quite clearly an art form. If you’re looking for a good bike, I have the list for you.

Zack Courts Reviews a 1984 Yamaha RZ350

Two stroke street bikes used to be a thing. In this episode of Daily Rider, Zack Courts rides a 1984 Yamaha RZ350

The ring-ding-dung bike is a truly great machine, but it also comes with some notable downsides, which is why you don’t see two-stroke street bikes today.

Still the motorcycle is a special machine and it makes me wish there were modern two-stroke motorcycles on sale today.

The Yamaha Virago XV 750 is a great motorcycle, but when you think of it you likely don’t think of a killer cafe racer.

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.

Yamaha Scorpio 225 Custom by Backyard Customs

Scrambler motorcycles get my blood pumping every time, and this Yamaha Scorpio 225 Custom by Backyard Customs is a perfect example of why.

The bike is a rugged and beautiful scrambler. It was customized with care but built to not be a showroom piece. It was purpose-built.

Backyard Customs is a shop in Bali, and the buys at the shop did a wonderful job with this machine.
