Vintage BSA
So this post is a request for information about the bike in this picture, we know it’s a custom BSA and we know that it was taken by Brett Sloan Photography.

The Demonico Veloce (speed demon in Italian) is a bike that I saw and instantly thought was a creation by the Radical Ducati garage based in Spain…
The team at Blitz Motorcycles have a refreshingly heretical approach to custom motorcycle design, they forgo the usual spit and polish, instead focussing on truly rideable cafe racers, scramblers and urban trackers.
This bike, a cafe racer called “Motobee” was built by Walt in 2010, it’s based on a 1983 Harley-Davidson Sportster but as with all Siegl builds, not much of the original bike remains.
It’s not everyday that we come across a motorcycle like Old Black, she was built by the highly respected LC Fabrications, a garage we’ve featured before with their stunning Triumph TT Deluxe Cafe Racer.
I love seeing people build Harley-Davidsons like this. You see there was a time, many years ago, when Harley-Davidson was famous for building the fastest motorcycles in America.
The ’98 Triumph Adventurer is one of the better bikes built by Triumph in the ’90s, it was fitted with an 885cc triple cylinder engine with 12 valves…
The Kawasaki ZX-7 is a relatively rare motorcycle, 1994 was the final model year before Kawasaki brought out the far more famous Kawasaki Ninja ZX-7R. That said, the ZX-7 does have a loyal following in the US and around the world meaning spare and custom parts are easy to come by.
What we’re looking at here is a Buell/Harley Sportster 1200cc V-Twin with a unique motorcycle fabricated around it, for want of a better word it’s a supermoto bike…
These stunning images were shared with us by Dan Anderson, an industrial designer, photographer and editor of WideOpenMoto. He went to Spain and visited the hallowed grounds of Radical Ducati…
So it appears that the modern trend of raking out the front forks on motorcycles isn’t as modern as we all thought. This picture dates back to October 1910 and it clearly shows a chap who’s heavily modified a motorcycle into the “Bojete Chopper”.
This bike started life as a 2009 factory spec Yamaha R1 before being picked up by the team at Gregg’s Customs and pulled to bits. The rear subframe was tossed as were all the plastic fairings and the original swingarm.
