Some people customise motorcycles.
Others start with an idea that probably shouldn't work... and build it anyway.
In this video we look at seven extraordinary motorcycles created by builders who took familiar machines somewhere completely unexpected.
From Hazard Motorcycles turning a Harley-Davidson into a tribute to Ferruccio Lamborghini's legendary Riva Aquarama speedboat, to Kiyo's Garage fitting a forgotten 1970s turbo kit to a Honda CB750, Heiwa Motorcycle reversing the cylinder head on a Triumph TR6, Andrew Cecere squeezing a near-100-horsepower two-stroke into a tiny Honda CL350, FNG Works creating a Yamaha from two RXZ engines, Auto Fabrica giving a Ducati Scrambler two completely different personalities, and Confederate building the 160-horsepower P120 Fighter Combat like nothing before it, every one of these motorcycles exists because somebody saw possibilities where everyone else saw problems.

Impractical art most of these motorcycles
Real riders aren't having that shit
All Custom Bike builders try to build their Signature Bike, but there are only so many trophies out there, I've been building since I was 12, quite a few of my bikes have won trophies, yet I have never entered Any of them in competitions, I don't advertise & I've been booked up for 2 years plus for a very long time, I talk to them, ride with them, & if I don't like how they ride, then I don't build for them, my bikes are Fast, very Fast & no Nanny Systems, so if you rely on Rider Aids, you don't get one of mine, I build, then I tell them how much, I've only ever had one refuse to pay, I sold the bike 2 days later for a bid that was twice as much as I was asking, then he came pleading for it, I wrote into my contracts that buyers couldn't sell to him, or they forfeit their bike to me for £1, & he still hasn't got one.
The first bike I built, a Panther 650cc Single, I sold to my teacher, he still has it over 51 years later.
