X-Axis Honda CX500

After years of competitive racing, two-time British motocross (MX1) champion Billy MacKenzie created the X-AXIS workshop to pursue his love of building and riding custom bikes. One of his first builds is this Honda CX500, a bike that features a minimal, clean design, and oozes style from every angle. After stripping the bike to its essentials, MacKenzie powder coated it in satin black for more durability, fitted it with Firestone Champion Deluxe vintage tires, upgraded carburetors and pod filters, and fitted a custom sheet aluminum rear with beautifully integrated bespoke LED lights. An old racing number also appears on the tank, as a subtle finishing touch and enhancing the old-school vibes.

CUSTOM BMW K65 | BY MOTO SUMISURA

Last week we did a popular feature on the awesome "Custom BMW K75" by Moto Sumisura, a garage in Italy ran by BMW fanatic Frank A.

The bike was originally a 1982 BMW R65, it was stripped down to its bare bones and then reassembled as a one of a kind BMW R65 custom scrambler. We love the details on this, beautiful antique green leather based saddle, and great minimal chrome pai...
