Shiney Sportster Cafe.
Really nice metalwork.
Stunning 1967 BSA 500 Scrambler.
The photo is very large. I usually reduce them a bit but the detail is stunning. Thanks to regular contributor Dave Innola for forwarding this on. The bike belongs to John Court who took it on a nice journey:

Hello Boys,a great run out today on the Scrambler (1957 BSA 500) I did the 100 mile Eskdale which basically takes in the steepest banks in the area & the North Yorks moors. About 90 entries in all cars & bikes. Was having a great time then for the 1st time in a long time I ‘overcooked’ it on an uphill bend, no one else to blame but I ended in a ditch…..like slow motion & a definate wake up call! Thankfully no major damage & with the help of two other riders got the bike sorted & completed the run. There was one skidmark just before the bend & the other just after which will hopefully come out in the wash! Will give the bike a good check over tomorrow ready for another run.
Cheers Jon
P.S Can confirm now that Adrenaline is brown!
Just plain cool… Very Stout Honda CB750
Not sure how to catagorize this bike. Cafe?… not really. Streetfighter?… sorta. BADASS? Damm straight.
Reader submittals! I may be out of web range this weekend so here are a few placeholders in the mean time. I’ll check in if I can.
Special Thanks To regular contributor Mr Dave Innola for the great pictures!

Outrageous custom turbocharged XS650?
I stumbled across this very radical build pic on a message board. It was billed as an XS650 based custom. I’m not so sure though. Either way there’s a LOT of love in this build. There is no other info available. If anyone can fill us in it’d be much appreiated.
2 stroke porn… TZ750 and RD400 Daytona
I realize that I have another blog for 2 stroke bikes but someties something pops up over there that just transcends the genre. This picture (for me) is one of those times. If this doesn’t get your attention then… damm.. I just don’t know how to help you..
250 Nighthawk/Dream 50R "mashup". Fantastic Photoshop Work from reader Tanshanomi!
What an amazing Idea! I keep coming back to lok at this concept. This bike has ridiculous potential. I could just imagine a budget racing class for these similar to the vintage CB160’s that have become so popular.

I thought I would share a fun little 250 Nighthawk/Dream 50R mashup I created in Photoshop for your Motorcycle Picture of the Day website. Yes, it looks as if it has a hydraulic drum on the rear, and it is in desperate need of a front disk and 18″ rear rim. But it makes the point that Honda’s little 250 twin could be really cool looking in something a lot more fun than the Rebel cruiser and dowdy commuter bike Honda puts them in now.
Reader ride! An american bike from a German builder!
Michael Middeldorff from germany send in his version of a sporster XCR. What a great take on a TT style ride. This bike must be an absolute blast to ride.
Thanks for the pictures Michael!!
