Motorcycle Modification

That tradition is alive and well, and this custom-built machine destined for small-run production is the latest example. The ‘Engrich ART’ motorcycle is powered a fully balanced, 1200cc 360° parallel twin. It’s the only engine of its type in the world, we’re told, and uses a ‘reciprocating tungsten balance system’. Gets a make over from the Austrian shop NCT. Plus news of a Ducati Scrambler design contest, and a bespoke luxury roadster from New Zealand. The project started 20 years ago, and after sustained engine and chassis development, the first complete motorcycle was built last year. The chassis has over 200 anodized and CNC-machined components, uses 6061 aluminum, and is hooked up to Öhlins suspension. The fuel tank is machined from billet aluminum, and 3D printed nylon is used for the air box body, air intake, tank cowlings and rear seat cowl assembly.

  Who’d have thought that the humble Honda CX500 would one day join the CB750 and SR500 as a staple of custom builders? The poor man’s Guzzi—once loved only by despatch riders—has fast become the sweetheart of the custom world. The CX500 works best when builders manage to straighten out its awkward lines. And who better to do that than an experienced automotive, furniture and architectural designer? Cue Sacha Lakic, who runs a studio in Luxembourg and likes to add the occasional motorcycle to his portfolio. This ’82-model CX500 was found by Sacha at George’s Garage—a shop owned by friends. It was standing in one corner of the garage, with an assortment of parts scattered on a shelf in another. “I have always been a great fan of the motor of this machine,” he says, “a magnificent 80-degree V-twin, full of character.” From the onset, he decided to keep the bike’s overall design as sleek ...

 Vintage Cafe Racer Here’s a little beauty by Deus ex Machina (god from the machine). If you ride and haven’t heard of these guys I’m sure you’ll be reconsidering your next bike. This late ’70s Honda S90 Cafe Racer has been restored to the finest detail. Stripped down to the bare bones; forged Café Racer Seat, overhauled engine and carburetor, they polished up the shiny parts and put a classic coat of white on it to turn heads. The S90 also includes custom-built and polished clip-on handle bars, converted ignition from point to CDI, and gave it a custom Japanese exhaust so you hear it coming. KTC small switches, Daytona speedometer built into Suzuki GT front headlight, Polaris tail light all resting on 18-inch front and back TK Japanese wheels. This may not be the fastest bike on the road but you’re guaranteed to ride in pure vintage style. If you happen to miss out on this classic, you won’t be disappointed by Deus ex Machina’s .

Sbay Flying 1800   Here’s to starting Monday morning off right as we bring you the Spanish-made Sbay Flying 1800 custom café racer from Sbay Motor Company. If cruisers from a certain American manufacturer could look like this, we imagine that talks of an aging demographic would cease to exist as the Flying 1800 has ample doses of eye-candy, sportiness, and innovation. Between the 3.7 gallon carbon fiber tank that is hangs below the oil-holding frame and above the motor, the rear taillight that integrates into the tail section like a Ducati GP9/GP10, and the tasteful use of copper pipes that we liked so much on the Confederate Fighter, there’s plenty to get you drooling on this bike as it borrows from some of the best ideas in motorcycle design. Basing its name off the 1840cc Rev-Tech v-twin motor, the Flying 1800 puts out 115hp, and weighs a paltry 465 lbs. Using a Rev-Tech five-speed transmission, Sbay has also tapped Öhlins for the suspension, Galfer and...

Clean Café Racer and Street Tracker Richard Pollock knows a thing or two about street trackers. Doing business as Mule Motorcycles out of a converted two-car garage in suburban San Diego, he’s built about 100 trackers to date, and shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, now that his full-time job as an aerospace fabricator has morphed into part-time consultancy, he has more time than ever to devote to two-wheelers, including doing R&D and prototyping for Streetmaster, a small Southern California speed house for new Triumph Bonnevilles. Pollock’s bread and butter, though, are specials based on two powerplants: Harley-Davidson’s Evo Sportster V-twin and Yamaha’s venerable XS650, the so-called “Japanese Bonneville” and about as good an air-cooled parallel-twin as anybody has ever made. Mule’s latest build is an XS650 with a difference. Strictly speaking it’s not a street-tracker; there are touches of café-racer mixed in. Let’s call it, then, a “café-tracker.” ...
