Moto Borgatoro
Part documentary, part pulp action film, all love and pure passion: "Moto Borgatoro" follows curmudgeon/savant mechanic Peter Boggia and the birth of his custom 1979 Moto Guzzi Le Mans into creation.
Mind you this film is not your normal bike build movie by design; no grinder sparks, no silhouette shots, no dramatic music. Been there seen that. This one is pure adrenaline, and hopefully tightens your pants like riding the bike would.
0 YAMAHA XSR 700
In paying tribute to the XS 650, Yamaha has joined forces with Japanese
bike builder Shinya Kimura to produce the new retro-styled XSR 700. The
bike joins the company’s sport heritage line, with the motorcycle
boasting an overall old school aesthetic. The seat has been done up in
supple textured leather, as the rear sub frame can conveniently be
customized. An aluminum tank rests in the middle of the bike, which
comes in weighing at 186 kilograms.
Just because the new XSR 700 features a retro appearance, that
doesn’t mean it’s without some necessary high-grade tech. Such
electronics are safe from harm, positioned behind a trick mesh cover.
Furthermore, the motorcycle welcomes Pirelli Phantom tires that both
look good and provide for a smooth riding experience.
Fans of Yamaha should also check out their recent collab with Iron Heart on this custom cafe racer.
0 Fuel Triten
This bike was commissioned by Uli Bree, the Tridays mastermind, to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the event. That’s why the name of the bike..”Tri” for Tridays and “Ten” for the 10th anniversary.
The Tridays is one of the greatest Triumph events in the world with thousands of enthusiasts of the english brand who stays 3 days in an small town in Austria enjoying concerts, races, tours, beer and friendship,..
The inspiration came from the old speedway motorcycles which had an small tank, single seat, a very characteristic rear fender and low center of gravity to drifting easily.
So the main mods was to find and adpat and smaller tank , but to do that we had to change the original fuel pump (which is located inside the tank) by an external one, then we shorten the subframe and welded a final curve to fit the solo seat.
The tank was polished and coating with a clear varnish (the same for the fenders)
An small speedometer was located on the frame in order to leave the handlebar “clean” with only the switchs from Motogadget, a classic tommaselli throttle a new brake master cylinder. New air filtres and front light from Free Spirits makes the racing look and changing the mapping we get some extra horsepower.
We build new fenders specially the rear one with side plate for the number which is very characteristic from the speedway motorcycles. For lowering the bike we mount a shorter Hagon Nitro rear shocks.
Because we couldn’t mount the reserve fuel sensor inside the tank we add an old style reserve visor on the right side of the tank so you can see the fuel level.
For the tyres we got a Bridgestone Trail Wing TW54 and TW53 which gives a very good grip for drifting on dust tracks.
The exhaust collector was cut it and we added a short silencer that gives a stunning sound.
The build tooks 5 months work and we would like to thanks to Albert and Lucas from Solo Triumph Barcelona who made all the electronic part and Brusco (a Barcelona artist) who painted the rear tire lettering.

0 1982 Yamaha SR250
Marco Troiano
Marco looked at the
1982 Yamaha Sr250 and rolled up his sleeves. He started modifying
thoroughly, shortening it and using a unique rear suspension scheme,
with a single shock working in reverse, when in traction instead of in
compression. The rear 16” tyre is beautifully and really unusual, being
nothing less than a tractor’s front wheel. Genial. And the tank is
straight from a 70’s 50cc motorcycle but Marco doesn’t even remember
where he got it from, the fairing and fairing’s frame are homemade.
0 About a Build
A short documentary exploring the creative
process and craft of custom motorbike building in observing the work of
the builder Josh Love. Custom motorbikes are a labour of love. The
combination of craftsmanship and creative design is fascinating. From
the rebuilding of the engine - the heart of the bike - to the first
ride out of the workshop it is a journey of reviving something old to
new beauty and elegance.
