Bull Ring: A taurine Triumph Bonneville scrambler from Spain

1 week ago | bikeexif.com | Wesley Reyneke

The Spanish workshop Tamarit Motorcycles has been in business for a decade, focusing almost exclusively on Triumph modern classics. So they know the Triumph Bonneville inside out—and they know how to transform it into just about anything. Tamarit Motorcycles has used this experience to build a stacked catalog of bolt-on Triumph parts and a handful of made-to-order customs. But what they relish most are the opportunities to build one-off specials, like this vivid Triumph Bonneville scrambler.

I Rode the New Specialized Levo 4 and Here’s Why I Think It’s Gonna Change the Way We Think About E-Bikes ForeverElectronic features that are free now will cost you in the future. The inevitable has come to pass: Specialized did something with its new Levo 4 e-mountain bike that seemed predestined to happen to e-bikes. Consider other motorized/assisted vehicles for an enthusiast audience. What is the one thing …
Loud and Rowdy: STG Tracker scrambles the Yamaha XV920R

Of all the Yamaha XV models released over the years, not one could be accused of being pretty. And yet, custom motorcycle builders have been putting their spin on the maligned Virago (and its variants) for longer than Bike EXIF has been around. One workshop that knows how to turn a sow’s ear into a purse; STG Tracker. Run by Marcelo Obarrio and Germán Karp, the Argentinian outfit is versatile and seldom builds the same thing twice.

Every scratch on this 1955 BSA Gold Star tells a story

Every motorcyclist grows up dreaming of the bike(s) they will ride one day. But how many of them end up owning the exact machine that sparked their passion when they were young? Very few, but that’s the story behind this well-worn 1955 BSA Gold Star. The bike’s current owner used to spot it on the road frequently growing up, intrigued and often wondered who the rider on board was.
Alps Edition: A plug-and-play kit for the Triumph Scrambler 1200

The custom motorcycle scene is firmly in its kit-built era. Business savvy workshops have realized that there’s a lot of demand for parts that can transform a bike with minimal fuss. One-off specials will always rule the roost—but not everyone has the skill, time, or funds to build them. For some riders, it makes more sense to take one of the countless modern classics currently on the market, and personalize it with a smorgasbord of tailored parts.

Hokuto: A kinetic Moto Guzzi SP3 1000 café racer from Monza

2 weeks ago | bikeexif.com | Wesley Reyneke

The fabled Tonti frame has formed the backbone of countless Moto Guzzi motorcycles over the years—but some of them wore it better than others. Classics like the Le Mans, V7 Sport, and 850 T3 California are iconic. The 1985 Moto Guzzi SP3 1000? Not quite. Although the SP3 ticks all the right boxes for a classic Moto Guzzi tourer, it misses the mark, visually. Its jagged bodywork might have been au fait in the 80s, but it’s an aesthetic faux pas by today’s standards.
This lavish Harley-Davidson Street Bob is peak Rough Crafts

Even though Rough Crafts frontman Winston Yeh is happy to build custom bikes that fall outside of his purview, his bread and butter are sleek and bold Harley-Davidsons swathed in black. He does it so well, that most customers request ‘a Rough Crafts-style Harley’ and leave it at that. That was almost the story with this imposing, yet refined, Harley-Davidson Street Bob. “He requested the more bling side of Rough Crafts—if that makes sense,” Winston explains.
Revealed: The production-ready Ducati Desmo450 MX motocross bike

One of the oddest news reports in recent memory was the announcement that Ducati, a brand synonymous with lusty Italian sportbikes, was planning to enter the world of motocross. A race-ready prototype of their contender broke cover soon after, before being fielded in a handful of events throughout the course of last year. Now the Borgo Panigale brand has unveiled the production version of their first-ever motocross bike—the Ducati Desmo450 MX—and we’re intrigued.
