OCC V-Twin Turbo Sportbike

In America, Sport by Abhi2 Comments

Here’s something I never thought I’d see – Orange County Choppers building a superbike…sort of. Covered as part of the show American Choppers, a team that normally builds custom choppers came together to build a frankenbike of sorts.

It’s Here – 2015 CSC Cyclone RX3

In Dual-Sport, Less than 5k by Abhi2 Comments

One of the big complaints about dual-sport bikes is that they’re just too big and heavy.

1965 Ducati 250 Scrambler

In Dual-Sport, Italy by Abhi10 Comments

Here’s a lovely Ducati 250 Scrambler that had an ‘engine out’ restoration in 2013 – the engine was rebored and got a new Borgo piston. After the restoration, the bike went on two test rides and was then drained of gas and placed in the seller’s collection in 2014. It looks good, but may need a little love before it’s …
