Barbara Custom Motorcycles

Looking to build or find a design for a custom motorcycle that a fabricator can understand? Barbara is a concept design studio based in Paris that helps customers visualize the Motorcycle before it is built. Whether you are professional or private, whether you want to redesign a bike, find a new line, a new color, or a new spirit for your project, Barbara has you covered. With the help of Photoshop and a couple brilliant minds, they will take a photo of your current bike and let you test out everything from a simple saddle change to a full-on rebuild. You can then take your unique design to the shop of your choosing to make your dream a reality.

One of his projects has just won the Yamaha’s Yard Built Custom Moto Contest, where the winning design will be turned into an actual custom bike.
