We <3 Cafe Racers on iPad with Read.it!
Anvil Motociclette is the kind of shop that is catching the attention of younger riders in mainland Europe. Their designs are raw and uncompromising, and guaranteed to stop the traffic.
It’s not often we get to show a custom that has been built with practicality in mind. But this Honda CL400 has been tweaked for London streets, offering easy commuting with a strong dash of style.
The annual custom motorcycle craziness that is the AMD World Championship of bike building has been and gone again.
Two silver arrows, old german beauties, rebuilt in England on the Channel... In one word: cafe racers!

This raw and brutal BMW K100 was built, very aptly, by a master blacksmith and metalworker. Faced with a long German winter, Marc Robrock decided to enliven his evenings and weekends and build himself a bike.

The S3 followed the success of the other triple 2-stroke models which proved successful after the introduction of the legendary H1 "Mach III" in 1970. With the 400, which replaced the 350 S2, Kawasaki did not seek the maximum power but tried to make the S3 more exploitable that 350 S2.

Triumph triple by Motokouture
It’s always interesting to see the bikes that well-known builders create for themselves. This Triumph T120 Bonneville is the personal ride of Tony Prust; it’s a more ‘traditional’ look than many Analog motorcycles, with a side order of steampunk too.
Super sweet Honda CB750F from Classified Moto’s John Ryland. Blending classic and modern styling cues and characteristics, the 1980 CB750F gets a new YZF R6-sourced front end, including wheel, fork and controls.
