Here at BikeBound, we’re big fans of scramblers, desert sleds, and enduro machines. Apparently so are you, our readers, as several of the machines that made our list of the Top 10 Custom Motorcycles of 2020 were running knobby tires, enduro-style bars, and bash plates. We decided to follow up with
Bali is known as 'the island with a thousand temples' but there's only one temple most moto monks will be
The One Moto Show is a cornucopia of analog delights, gleaming with metalflake and raw, hand-beaten bodywork. But there was an interloper lurking amongst the chrome and carburetors: this futuristic Zero from Huge Moto of San Francisco. As soon as the Zero was revealed, it starting popping up everywhere on social media. So we dropped a line to Huge Moto’s boss, Bill Webb, to get the story on this surprise hit—and the very 21st century design process. “Zero reached out to us a couple years ago, after you featured our ‘MONO RACR’ Honda CBR,” Bill told us. “We ended up
It’s not easy to build a good-looking custom bike. The classifieds are littered with abandoned projects—and even the top pro builders sometimes struggle to get it right. If the donor bike is electric, you can multiply the difficulty level by ten. Without a traditional engine to anchor the visuals, it’s fiendishly hard to create an attractive machine. Which makes this Zero XU street tracker from Colt Wrangler even more remarkable: it’s one of the freshest-looking bikes we’ve seen so far this year. Former rodeo rider Colt Lyons hails from Mason, Texas, and over the past three years, he’s built 16

Flat trackers make for a compelling argument as practical, everyday street bikes. They're lightweight with comfortable ergonomics, but don’t tower seven feet off the ground like dirt bikes. So it's a mystery why more manufacturers don't make factory-issue street trackers. Someone else keen on the flat track style is Irwann Cheng, of the Malaysian custom bike outfit FNG Works. He's just worked his magic on a customer's bone stock MLE XTM 200; a Chinese-made supermotard sold in Malaysia. The project was a well-timed one. With the world slowly shutting down a few years ago, Irwann was forced to take on
We are so excited to showcase the newest build from one of our favorite builders, Revolt Cycles of the Philippines. The Honda XL100, first produced in 1974, was a near-unkillable little enduro, capable of thumping away for decades under the harshest conditions, with the barest of maintenance. The bi
If you love custom motorcycles and feed your addiction via social media, you probably follow Cafe Racers of Instagram. It’s an impeccably curated account with a staggering 850,000 followers, delivering quality images of café racers and customs several times a day.

This heavily modified CB450 is the second outing, and there’s already a third on the way. It’s an intriguing approach from guys who spend their working lives
