Custom Benelli Six Cylinder Madness!

And if you get a moment please be sure and pay a visit to Chalopy! Interesting stuff over there. Hard to imagine from this picture but he’s actually into the smaller cc bikes.

 
 

Outstandind Royal Enfield Scrambler build. A fresh chapter of the Sam Simons Chronicles!!

Sam has built so shared so many interesting bikes with me that he has his own search term over in the cloud.  do yourself a favor and check out some of his other excellent builds.  His 2-stroke bikes are legendary.  you can see more of his stuff over on my 2 Stoke Biker Blog.  I havn’t heard from him in a while and I fugured he’d been up to something special and as usual he doesn’t disappoint.

Hello Steve,
Been a while,huh. Well,although I’ve been involved with several non-motorcycle related activities,I did manage to finish the RE500(just yesterday!!).The basis for this 60’s theme street scrambler was a new,dealer leftover ’07 Bullet my wife located in Ohio late in ’08. I bought it for the sole purpose of doing just such a bike,which made for a really odd feeling when I purchased a new machine that: 1) I 

 
So,I hope you enjoy the pics,Steve.

Always a pleasure Sam!  Keep em coming!

A pair of Fantastic Reader Submittals!! A classic Norton twin and a slightly more modern Triumph Triple!

Reader James Doran from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada sends in a pair of beautiful Britis beauties. First up his Norton. James Writes:

Hi Superduck


Found you Great Motorcycle Photo Of The Day Blog site. My compliments! Thank you for capturing some beautiful looking bikes. I’ve attached a few of my 1974 Norton Commando 850 Interstate (slightly modified) from the Great White North. Sadly I had to sell it two years ago (a guy in Sydney, Australia bought it and had it shipped over there!). My bum right knee wouldn’t let me kick it over anymore. Replaced by a nice 1995 Triumph Thunderbird 900 triple which I really enjoy too (and it has an electric start!). I will send you a couple of pics of her too.


Upgrades/changes to the Norton


* Brembo master cylinder front brake
* M bars with bar end mirrors
* Podtronics electronics
* Single Mikuni 34 mm carb
* Primary belt drive
* Dunstall megaphones
* Older style rear tailight




Cheers

 
  
 

And heres a few of that triumph:

1995 Triumph Thunderbird 900 triple. Custom solo seat, M bars with bar ends, fly screen.

I love how she emulates the older Norton. Nice touch!  I rode a 1995 Speed Triple for quite a few years and I still think the early engines were the best. 

 
 

Thanks Very Much for sending these beauties in!

Another excellent custom single Cafe! This time a Yamaha and NOT a photoshop.

My guess would be an SR500 based bike? Anyone know for sure?

Photoshopped Honda XL650 Raodracer conversion.

I’ve had a thing for big singles lately and this isn’t helping any. If anyone knows the source of this could you please let me know. Thanks!

Radical Vincent. Is it industrial art or is it industrial pornography?

The old adage of “I know it when I see it” still applies I suppose…

 
 

Really cool XS650 vintage Motocrosser.

I’m sure torque is NOT a problem with this bike! Must be a blast to ride.
