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.

TRIUMPH SCRAMBLER | BY SPIRIT OF THE SEVENTIES

Triumph Scrambler is originally a great-looking bike, but the guys at Spirit of the Seventies just made it look even better. The S6 Triumph 904 dirt Twin is a unique custom street-scrambler based on an 2005 Triumph Scrambler. They made the bike much lighter(both in looks and in weight), a lot sharper and faster with a tuned 904cc engine, making it a lot noisier, and giving it more torque. Photos by: Grant Robinson...
