Custom Bikes

Royal Enfields are notoriously good at being the lab rat for all kind of customization. In fact, its Shotgun 650 was itself ‘inspired by custom’ per the company… and that bike is exactly what serves as the donor for this gorgeous one-off creation.

An equivalent of $40,000 for an electric motorcycle might be stretching it too far for most. But then, we all know there are a select few in the world who would treat it as pocket change. That's perhaps who the Blacksheep One is for.

A motorcycle commanding a price tag of over half a million dollars must surely be insanely rare. But then again, there aren’t many motorcycles that come fitted with a 3.5-liter V8 engine from a Ferrari F355 sports car.

It’s not every day you spot two separate 650cc engines on a motorcycle, is it? This Royal Enfield Classic 650-based chopper comes from Custom Works Zon, a well-known Japanese custom house, and it’s probably the best RE custom you'll ever see.

Who said baggers can’t go fast? Indian Motorcycle just showed us a glimpse of its racing DNA by setting a new record with its race-spec Challenger, which achieved close to 200 miles per hour at Bonneville Salt Flats.

An engineering student and his buddies came up with a brilliant solution for reducing carbon emissions from their university's heavy machinery. And what better demo than to install a tractor engine on an old Harley, and run it on used vegetable oil?

The coveted wheelie. The oldest, but most impressive trick in the book. Some people can, some people can't. Those who can't wish they could. But making a mistake could mean an expensive repair bill, or worse, an actual injury. Until now.

What started as a one-off has ended up as a limited production run moto of nine units – and they’re all for sale at $44,900 each. This iconic Ducati 821 is draped in polished aluminum, all without any visible fasteners or mounting points.

We’ve seen our share of wild motorcycle builds, but few come close to the sheer audacity of this one. From BMW Motorrad, this futuristic custom is a fierce drag-racing machine complete with a NOS canister for an (admittedly theoretical) power boost.

There is no way you’re looking at this custom and thinking it’s a Royal Enfield … until you spot the engine. It's the work of Pepo Rosell, aka XTR Pepo, a Madrid-based custom bike builder who is mostly found reviving twin-cylinder Italian bikes.

Royal Enfield is one of those rare brands that naturally lends itself to one-off custom builds. Case in point: the "Project Delta," a classic custom motorcycle that draws inspiration from the motorcycle culture of the 40s and 50s.

Custom motorcycle builder Maxwell Hazan has been creating stunning bespoke works of art on two wheels for discerning collectors. Recently, he's been working on a ludicrous project: packing a fire-breathing Ferrari V8 engine into a handmade bike.
