Custom: AerMacchi M65 Leggero by RSD “Yes, she’s a little rough around the edges, but that’s the beauty of it,” describes Roland Sands Design. They found this little bike buried in a scrap yard and decided to fix it up for Born Free. They’ll never admit to it, but the bike is a clever sendup of every bullshit cafe racer ever made. “We ran across this Aermacchi as we were sifting through piles of crashed bikes looking fo...

More photos of the Royal Enfield cafe racer The most perfect modern execution of the cafe racer theme we’ve seen, Royal Enfield is applying bizarrely little emphasis to this near-production concept. These new photos come from user Parrys on the Team-BHP forum. A Mumbai resident, he saw the bike in person at the India Auto Expo. This weekend, we spoke to Royal Enfield’s CEO about his new cafe project. “At this show, we were showing e... By HFL Staff News - Jan 9 2012 -
Custom: KTM Bob Racer Sven Etzelsberger is not your average garage builder. The soft spoken automotive designer works at Fisker and also has a background in metal working. Rather than spending $15,000 on a GS for his next bike, he decided to take that money and build something special; this single-cylinder KTM bobber. NSFW: boobs and wheelies after the jump. Photos: Sean Smith "In my normal work, I typically don't... By RideApart Staff News - Sep 20 2011 -
Allow me to introduce my very first motorcycle: the FZR400/600-GSX-R-R6 I've been in the market for a bike for over a year. I can't go anywhere without motorbike friends asking when I'm going to show up on my own two wheels. "In a couple months" has become my go-to phrase to answer. I sure wanted a bike but I hadn't found the bike. I looked at Ninjas and Monsters. Hawks and SVs. I hemmed. I hawwed. I just wasn't sure. That all changed last Sunday when HFL reader Thoma...

GoGo, Bozo and the neo-moto hipster hobo/bobo-nouveau (with an afro). It’s the next big thing! How many of them are out there? Half finished, taken apart, half-assed “Café Racers” languishing away in living room corners, in basements, in lawnmower sheds, under blue tarps and on the street. Yamaha RD350s, XS650s, Honda CB350s, CB550s. All with wiring pulled apart and vacant spark plug holes. Most got as far as a set of clubman bars that caused giant floppy loops in throttle cables and b... By JT Nesbitt News - Jul 25 2011 -
Rider: Rogelio Ramos I know Ducati owners have a reputation of being a bunch of rich assholes who ride their over-priced Italian bikes to a coffee shop on Sundays so they can hang out with other Ducati owners who are also wearing Puma track suits and talk about how cool they all are, but let me introduce you to a guy who defies the stereotype. This story is about a motorcyclist with damn good taste who ditched the vin... By Sean Smith News - Jun 23 2011 -
See See Motorcycles grand opening It's no secret that we're fans of Thor Drake and See See. We featured the SR 500 he built and I shot his shop the last time I was in Portland. See See is also responsible for The One Motorcycle Show and a good deal of drunken burnouts, party photos and general hooliganism. If you're within a few hours of the dream of the 90's, you should make your best effort to attend See See's grand opening part... By Sean Smith News - Jun 1 2011 -
Custom: Streetmaster Brighton cafe racer Café-racers, cool, yeah? I’m with ya on that. But have you spent any time on a pukka (sorry, Brit-speak for genuine) example? I have. Start speed-tuning on an old Triumph motor, say hello to unreliability, not to mention pesky oil puddles wherever it’s parked. And while my ample ass is pretty good at prodding a kickstarter, I’m up to snuff on the Ceremonial Tickling of the Amals, know how... By David Edwards News - May 15 2011 -
