In Egyptian mythology, Bennu is an ancient deity associated with creation and rebirth. Depicted as a bird, it is believed that he may have been the original inspiration for the legend of the phoenix—which is exactly why the owner of this enchanting 1978 Harley-Davidson Shovelhead named it after him. Even though the donor bike was almost a half-century old, this story of rebirth has less to do with the bike's restoration, and more to do with the man behind it. It comes from Hideki Hoshikawa,...| Bike EXIF

Have you noticed how photographers often favor the right-hand side of a motorcycle? Sometimes it's because the bike's side stand has it leaning over to the left, making it awkward to capture a good angle. Other times, it's because the right-hand side is simply more visually appealing than the left. That's not the case with this 1970s Harley Shovelhead, which features a burly open primary, a bespoke oil tank, a hand-shifter, and a handmade exhaust system—all on the left side. It's the work o...| Bike EXIF

The Yamaha SR150 is Taiwan's best-kept secret. Exclusively manufactured and sold locally, the cheap and cheerful single sold in droves in its heyday, mostly to commuters and delivery riders.

But this plucky Yamaha SR150 bobber comes from an outfit that's new to these pages; Balls Custom. Based in New Taipei City, the c...| Bike EXIF
One of the enduring charms of old BMW motorcycles is that they are virtually unkillable. Even if, against all odds, you do manage to put one out of commission, chances are you have a connection to someone with the know-how to resurrect it (or you possess the skills yourself). But how many people can construct a functional BMW boxer from a jumble of mismatched parts? At a glance, this graceful machine looks like a regular, albeit incredibly tasteful, vintage BMW R60 restomod. But it's actually...| Bike EXIF

Pierre Terblanche has penned countless motorcycles in his career, but he's best known for the 11 years he spent at Ducati. In that time, the South African designer became infamous for designing bikes that were polarizing at first but went on to become successful. The Ducati 999's boxy bodywork and stacked headlights upset Ducati purists, but it was wildly successful on the race track. The Ducati Hypermotard was a massive departure from the Italian marque's usual fare, but it was immensely pop...| Bike EXIF
