Old Empire Motorcycles The Snipe

Our Friday custom motorbike crush comes from Old Empire Motorcycles, a workshop known for their heritage aesthetics. The striking build named "Snipe” started as a 2014 Yamaha SR400, it was striped down to its essentials and fitted with carefully engineered handmade components. From 3D machined yokes and switch gear to the hand beaten aluminium front and rear cowling, this beauty has been removed of all the modern frivolities and resculpted into a streamlined racer with Old Empire´s usual attention to detail and classic styling.

JEEP WRANGLER NIGHTHAWK | BY STARWOOD MOTORS

We have featured their awesome Full Metal Jacket Jeep before, but the supercharged Wrangler "Nighthawk” has to be their most impressive release to date. Powered by an almighty 3.6 liter V6 engine, the "Nighthawk” is not only a powerful machine but also stunning, we love the matte magnesium metallic paint job and the elegant leather interior on this badass.
