If you’re a motorcycle builder in the States and you need a custom seat, you know who to call: Ginger McCabe. Ginger runs Portland, Oregon-based New Church Moto. She’s the go-to girl for workshops like Revival Cycles and Crowe Customs, plus top-flight restorers like New York’s Moto Borgotaro. So we were curious to see what she rides, when she’s not working on other people’s bikes. Turns out it’s this very sharp-looking 1977 Yamaha XS400, which has survived two big crashes. “It’s been through hell and back with me the last six years,” says Ginger. “Started out as bone stock, but

You may not know the name Cam Elkins, but there’s a good chance you’re familiar with his work. He’s the man behind the brilliant short films called Stories of Bike, which explore the relationships between custom motorcycles and their owners. After several years filming other people’s bikes, Cam decided it was time to get a custom of his own. He selected a 1986 BMW R65. “I've always loved boxer engines,” he tells us. “I think they're reminiscent of old WW2 airplanes, which had such a sleek but utilitarian look to them.” “And when I first got into the cafe racer

Last year, the Harley-Davidson Sportster turned 60. It’s an extraordinary milestone, with only the Royal Enfield Bullet having a longer unbroken model run. Surprisingly, Harley didn’t make much noise about the Sportster’s 60th birthday. But the Spanish builder Efraón Triana decided to celebrate it in a most unusual fashion. With the blessing and support of Harley-Davidson España, he’s taken a 2016 model Sportster and reconfigured it to resemble a late 50s Ironhead (below). Not an easy task, but Efraón had one factor in his favor: development of the Sportster has always been incremental. Like Porsche, Milwaukee prefers evolution to revolution.

A stunningly beautiful custom MV Agusta F3 from Switzerland, a fire-breathing KTM Super Duke R built for the Erzberg Rodeo, a vintage-inspired Yamaha YZF450FX from Deus, and an Italian prototype with a two-liter engine … placed upside down.

Triumph's current range of ‘modern classics’ was only launched a year ago, but it’s already eight models strong. And right now we’re in London for the launch of another new variant tomorrow night. This should mean even more 'old' Triumph Bonnevilles on the second hand market—at prices leaving plenty of spare change for customization. And if you need inspiration, look no further than this scrambler from Stockholm's 6/5/4 Motors. “This bike is one of three that we decided to build for ourselves last winter,” says 6/5/4 co-founder Daniel Jakobsson. “Without having any clients breathing down our necks!” “We wanted a
