Back in April of 2018, Canadian autocycle purveyor Campagna Motors announced it would be releasing a fully-electric version of its long-running T-Rex model. Instead of developing its own electric powertrain, Campagna partnered up with Zero Motorcycles, which agreed to provide the motors, batteries, and controllers which Campagna says have been “seamlessly integrated into the T-REX”.
“Hyperscrambler 1100 R” – 2010 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 S Custom
Built to navigate the mountainous terrain of Southern Poland, this bike (dubbed the “Hyperscrambler 1100 R”) started its life as a 2010 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 S prior to being stripped down to the frame and transformed into this vintage scrambler-inspired masterpiece. The stock subframe was lopped off to make room for a one-off trellis-style unit with the (LED) brake-light (and …
Hageman Cycles TT Tribute – 2018 Yamaha XSR700 Custom
Post Listing Update: This custom XSR was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. Here’s a fun complement to this morning’s Yamaha TT500! I’ve featured several examples of Greg Hageman’s work in the past, such as this DT360-inspired Virago, this Vincent-inspired Virago, the “GoGo” Virago, and this Yamaha-competition winning Star Bolt that may have inspired the creation of the …
1 of 10 – Ducati Moretti TT2 Replica
8-21-18 Update: 11 months later, Tim notes that this bike is back up for sale with a significant discount – it’s now down to €12,500, which is currently worth approximately $14,400. Find it here on Race Bike Mart. In the beginning of the 1980’s, Ducati unveiled the 90-degree V-twin powered Pantah – the very first Duc to utilize belt-driven camshaft …
Classic Hot Rod – 1969 BMW R60/2
Post Listing Update: This R60/2 did not meet reserve despite 33 bids up to $7,700. This probably should be called a R80/2, as it combines the classic style of a /2 with the “modern” features of a /6 and /7 drivetrain – 12V electrics with an electric starter, 5-speed transmission, and of course, more oomph.
TR7T-Inspired – 1978 Triumph T140E Custom
Post Listing Update: This custom Triumph did not get any interest at the opening bid of $5,000. In 1981, Triumph created a dual-sporter based on the TR7V Tiger in response to BMW’s R80GS. It was called the TR7T Tiger Trail, and it was never officially exported to the US because of emissions regulations. It was an interesting (and very yellow) …
BikeShed Shown – 2004 Aprilia RSV1000 Custom
Released in 1998, the RSV1000 was a game-changing model for Aprilia. Beforehand, the largest machine in the Italian marque’s lineup was a 250. In its roughly half-decade of production an array of different RSV variants were produced, including a few higher-spec R and SP models. While most people would’t look at the full-faired Italian V-Twin as an ideal donor, Gareth …
1 of 5 – Venier Customs “Diabola” Moto Guzzi V65C
Post Listing Update: This Venier build did not meet reserve with 20 bids up to $5,500. Since first opening in 2012, Venier Customs has quickly built a name for itself, churning out high-end customs for clients all over the world. The shop’s work is routinely featured on elite customs sites like BikeExif and Pipeburn, and has graced the cover of …
Street Fighter – 1988 Yamaha TZR250
Post Sale Update: This TZR sold for $3,500 after 24 bids on eBay. In the seller’s words, this represents a “cross between the 80’s/90’s 2 stroke street sportbike and the more modern FZ 07/09…raw, loud, upright and brilliantly bright in classic Yamaha colors.” It’s being offered with no reserve – what do you think about it?
On Any Sunday 2 Inspired in England – 2004 KTM 400 EXC-R
7-28-18 Update: I love this bike, but I also know the original asking price was on the steep side. How about a 50% discount? 5 months later, Tim Huber notes that this bike is back up for sale – find it here on The Bike Shed. Now all you need is $6,450 to put it in your garage, assuming you …
Carey Hart Custom – 2017 Indian Chieftain
Post Listing Update: This custom Chieftain did not get any interest at the opening ask of $31,999. Among many things in the world of motorcycling, Carey Hart is probably best known for being the first person to land a backflip in competition on a 250cc bike. Carey’s been tightly involved with Indian over the last few years, and this was …
Video Intermission – World’s Largest Production Motorcycle For Sale
Jim Gesto is a trucker who said that he was sick of seeing cars run over motorcycles, so his solution was to “build a motorcycle big enough to run over a car”. I’m not making that up. Per his reading of the law, this is the biggest “trike” he could build that would still be legally designated as a motorcycle, …
IRL TRON Bike – 2018 Parker Brothers Concepts Neutron
Post Listing Update: This crazy custom got no interest at the asking price of $65,000. There’s no shortage of atrocious Hollywood remakes being churned out year after year, however from time to time revamped movies get it right. 2010’s TRON LEGACY was able to utilize modern computer generated animation and special effects to better create the world initially laid out …
Nick O’Kane Custom – 1992 Suzuki TL1000R Cafe Build
Nick O’Kane eats, sleeps, and breathes motorcycles. By day, the California-based, UK-native serves as Powersports Sales Manager at K&N Filters, but the lion’s share of O’Kane’s nights and weekends are spent building (and riding) some pretty stellar customs. O’Kane’s typical MO consists of using vintage donor machines that are then laced up with modern suspension and electrical components. If you …
2001 Chevy V4-Powered Custom
Are you an automotive engine expert? Maybe you’ll know what’s going on here, because I sure don’t. What we’ve apparently got is a “custom built 156 cubic inch Vee-Four Chevy” motor in a “Harley type” chassis. I’ve featured a couple example of the SuperVee (front two cylinders from a SBC Chevy 350) before, but this is even odder.
