The Honda CB750 has become the go-to bike for customization. It has been chopped and molded into countless cafe racers, scramblers and some cycles we’re not even so sure about. Most of us here at Selectism are not gear heads — but we find redeeming qualities in aesthetics. That’s where this beautiful custom CB750 comes into play.Meet Vibrazioni Art Design, an Italy-based boutique firm with a knack for creating pieces like furniture from repurposed branded oil barrels. Their latest endeavor is this reworked CB750 featuring original logos from Pennzoil.

"Motorcycles are basically handbags for men." - Peter Boggia.

This is the unlikely story of a motorcycle mechanic who hates motorcycles, and his undeniable love for building them.

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.

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.
