SEE MORE1983 Honda CX500 Cafe Racer Rescue
The Honda CX500 was what we call a “rescue build”. It’s always a tough job to take on a half completed build. But in the interest of seeing this guy and his bike happy on the road I couldn’t say no. So here’s a fairy tale ending to what could have been a nightmare that our rider Joseph never woke up from.

When Paddy asked me to bring his 1975 CB400F back from the dead I jumped in head first with a host of ideas I had that didn’t get used on our previous project. Essentially the same bike with a different tank, and bigger top end.

The Honda VFR750 project was new ground for Purpose Built Moto. Taking a Mid 90’s track day staple, stripping it down and rebuilding it in our vision of a retro throwback racer. Turned into a fast paced, eye catching retro sport. Check out the photo gallery!

With a sharp tank swap and a hand built steel tail to suit, this GS650 is a far cry from the subtle Suzuki that rolled out of the factory in 1983. With a dark disposition this cafe racer is something worth looking twice at.
SEE MORE1981 Yamaha XV750 – Manga Inspired Motorcycle
I wanted the XV750 to look like it could be ridden by the bad guy in a Japanese cartoon. Stylistically sharp visuals, with a sense of violence and aggression. Bold, and cartoonish, The XV750 had to offer something outside the norm.
SEE MORE2006 Ducati Cafe Racer Sport Classic
The Ducati Sport Classic range is a divisive set of motorcycles. Love them or hate them, everyone has an opinion. I never really understood them. But during this build process, I’ve grown to love these 1000cc Twins.

The older a motorcycle gets, the more respect it is due when it comes to restoring or modifying. With this Honda CB350 that was in the forefront of my mind the entire time. While its easy to get lost in LED lights, techy digital controls and new technology, there’s a true art in making something timeless.
