If you look at this heavily modified 2003 Harley-Davidson V-Rod just the right way, and from the correct distance and angle, it almost looks like it wears a sort of see-through bodywork. Either that, or it appears to be covered in Tony Stark-designed retroreflective panels. These visual illusions are owed to the huge amount of silver and chrome used to cover the entirety of the bike's bodywork and…
Being what it is, the Star Wars universe has inspired over the years a lot of dedicated creations, from clothes to vehicles and anything in between. If you ask me, though, I'd have to say that the Harley-Davidson Stormtrooper build we have here is one of the most detailed of them all, to the point that you might even feel a bit suffocated with all the Star Wars-related fittings. The bike was…
Soon to celebrate three years since it was first introduced on the market, the Kawasaki Ninja e-1 ABS is making a comeback in the Japanese manufacturer's lineup in the U.S. for the 2027 model year. Without boasting spectacular changes, Kawasaki's first-ever electric motorcycle remains a solid contender for customer attention thanks to its low price - and that's what is betting on in the coming…
The rather extensive portfolio of custom Harley-Davidson motorcycles created by Spanish custom garage Lord Drake has had its share of army-styled rides over the years. Off the top of my head, I can mention the Harley-Davidson Sportster Bobber Army we brought before you some four years ago, or the more recent Harley-Davidson VROD 260 Army. And now, here we are face to face with something called the…
I'm not exactly sure why a lot of riders out there have this thing for 1920s motorcycles. It may have to do with the fact that it is then when these motorized two-wheelers began becoming commonplace, or with the fact that it is then when the biggest brands of our time really broke through the curtain and became mainstream. Or it might simply be a thing of taste. No matter the reason, this passion…
Whenever the words Harley-Davidson Liberator are used next to each other, the mind immediately flies to the 1942 WLA Chris Evans' Captain America used on screen in the 2011 Marvel film 'The First Avenger '. But, as used on this here custom motorcycle, the words conjure up in my mind the image of B-17 Flying Fortresses or B-24 Liberators dropping freedom from the sky right onto enemies' heads.…
In a general sense, custom motorcycles based on whatever Harley-Davidson platform keep a rather low profile when it comes to the message they want to send with their bodywork colors. What this means is that we usually get to see fewer than a handful of hues being used, most of the time very serious ones. But this here bike, well, this thing is close to being a literal rainbow. Born in the Harley…
If I were to put in my two cents, I'd say that the Harley-Davidson V-twin racing street custom (VRSC) is the most extreme factory motorcycle ever made. Affectionately called the V-Rod, the muscle bike the Americans put together with help from Porsche engineers screams unforgiving, unconventional, and unforgettable. And that's in stock form, as the countless custom projects based on it made over…
The Harley-Davidson Sportster S is, generally speaking, a fat-looking bike. Offered by the American bike maker as part of the Sport family that also includes the two variants of the Nightster, the ride can easily be made to look even larger, provided custom shops know exactly what buttons to push. The guys over at Spanish Lord Drake Kustoms seem to be very much in the know, and there's no better…
The nature of my job has brought me face to face over the years with an unending stream of custom motorcycles, but I have to admit, I believe I never came across a pink one, and that kind of wired me to think pink custom motorcycles would look bad. Luckily, the Norton Manx [P]R is here to change my mind. The design is the work of British bike maker Norton and an equally British art collective and…
