Benelli Leoncino
The Benelli Leoncino is a masterclass in mid-20th century Italian motorcycle design, it has a timeless aesthetic appeal that wouldn’t look at all out of place in a modern art museum.

Board Tracker Football
This fantastic, action packed photograph was taken on the football pitch of Crystal Palace in London in 1923. The gentlemen in the picture are clearly enjoying a hotly contested game of football with a small crowd of spectators looking on through a haze of burnt gasoline.
BTR 3 by Goldammer Cycle
The BTR 3 by Goldammer Cycle is a testament to what a talented bike builder can achieve using some steel tubing, an acetylene torch and some staggering attention to detail.
Honda CB200T Cafe Racer by Bare Bone Rides
This bike is Bare Bone Ride’s take on the Honda CB200T, the original bike is a fantastic, lightweight motorcycle that lends itself to cafe racer conversion with ease.
Yamaha SR500 by Custom House Stinky
This custom Yamaha SR500 is one of my favourite recent builds from Stinky, they’ve gone to a lot of trouble here to give the bike…
Cortadito Cafe Racer
The story behind the Cortadito Cafe Racer is one of those happy coincidences, it was a story that fell into my lap and along with the discovery of a great little cafe racer was the discovery of a great new Miami bike builder for us to keep an eye on.
Gilera 150 Sport
The Gilera 150 Sport is one of those old motorcycles that acts like a persistent testament to what designers can accomplish if left alone and not subjected to focus-groups.
Ducati 900 GTS by Nick Huber
The Ducati 900 GTS is one of those motorcycles that sits very close to the top of most motorcycle obsessed gentleman’s wish lists.
Nick’s Dyna by Kraus Motor Co.
This is one of those custom motorcycles that I can’t imagine anyone not liking. Dubbed “Nicks Dyna” by the team at Kraus Motor Co., the bike is a bridge across a few motorcycle-genres with elements of cruiser, sport bike and flat tracker all existing somewhere within the design.
1954 Ariel Square Four
The Ariel Square Four has one of the most handsome engines ever fitted to a motorcycle, it’s an air-cooled 4-cylinder unit with the pistons arranged into a square with 2 crankshafts geared to each other.
BSA Boating
I guess this is entry #1,767,876 in our ongoing series “Why Vintage Motorcycle Ads Were Better”.
Indian Railcar
This is one of those images that I know nothing about but love anyway. We seem to be looking at an Indian motorcycle that’s been converted to run a small one man railcar, probably used by an engineer to check lines.
