Per the seller, this example was originally a dirt track racer owned by a BSA dealer in New York. But it’s street legal, so you could enjoy city streets as well. What would you do with it?

Custom Cafe in Poland – 1992 Honda CBR600 F2
In recent years manufacturers have increasingly found that the synergy of modern and retro elements making up a two-wheeled sum in the form of scramblers, cafe racers and trackers is a successful recipe for good sales numbers. This notable custom-built example takes a different approach by combining vintage and well…less vintage (1960-70’s and 1990’s) in lieu of something more modern. …

It’s a classic BMW…with a sidecar…and a built 1,835cc Volkswagen motor. Check out how far the carbs and air filters stick out!
Rare SuMo Convert – 1989 Yamaha TDR250
Post Sale Update: After 21 bids on eBay, this TDR250 sold for $7,150. Yamaha’s TDR250 enduro was never officially sold in the US, though a handful were sold in Canada and some (like this bike) have since crossed the border. Here’s a rare example that might disappoint purists but should still make the average street rider drool. A unique two-stroke …
“Z Project” – 1981 Kawasaki Z1000ST Custom
View PostGold Ghost Street Tracker – 2009 Honda XR650L
Most so-called Scrambler builds stray away from the original meaning of the term with even factory “Scrambler” offerings not really being designed for any off-road use (the Ducati Desert Sled being one of the few exceptions) so while most custom scramblers simply throw on a high front fender, flat seat and some knobby tires, this custom Scrambler example has actually …
Built for Shaq – 2001 West Coast Choppers El Diablo
Post Listing Update: Despite 73 bids on eBay up to $44,100, this Shaq-sized chopper did not meet reserve. Wild custom choppers like this aren’t usually my cup of tea, however this one stands out because it’s big…it was designed to fit Shaquille O’Neal – both his 7’3″ frame and his size 26 shoes! The build process was shown in Motorcycle …
Mandello del Lario Mutt – 1975 Moto Guzzi 1000
View PostServicustom – 1967 Harley-Davidson Servicar
With the rise of the automobile, motorcycle companies were forced to respond in the way of producing utilitarian scoot-based machines with the most common example being the Harley-Davidson Servicar. These machines were manufactured from 1932 to 1975 and saw dozens of changes and updates in its 43 years of production with some models having a car-like rear differential. While this …
Hardtail In Belgium – Honda VTR 1000 Custom
This beautiful VTR build is what I consider to be a top-shelf build with its extensive masterfully fabricated custom work and its array of borrow components off of high-end European machines. Parts such as the chromoly hardtail frame, tank, and fender were all handmade, as was the custom bobber-style seat.
Cafe or Scrambler? 2002 Suzuki Freewind Custom
This custom build project entitled “Lady O.” may appear to be just one more drop in the cafe racer bucket but upon closer inspection this one-off Suzuki is all kinds of unique. Beginning with the fact this bike started its life as a XF650 Freewind from 2002 which was the last year it saw production. The Freewind was essentially a …
Savage Scrambler – 2000 Suzuki LS650 Custom
The Suzuki LS650, also known as a Savage, used to roll off the factory floor as a simple entry-level cruiser (it’s since been replaced by the S40 Boulevard). But it’s proven to be an interesting platform for cafe racers, as shown by companies like Ryca, as well as a starting point for scrambler builds, like today’s featured example from Droog …
Kosman Framed and S&S Powered – 2005 Harley-Davidson Street Tracker
Pretty much anything with an S&S engine powering it is going to be pretty impressive. Most bikes lucky enough to house one saw their builder(s) go all out in an effort for the rest of the machine to be on par with the excellence of its powerplant. According to the seller, this professionally-built tracker was the sister bike to the …
