The Naked (above) is the more ‘cafe’ of the two, with minimal carbon fiber bodywork, and Öhlins and Maxton suspension. It also features HEL brakes, a keyless ignition, and Dymag carbon wheels.
ABM will be producing the Gemini in limited numbers—just 50, with customization options like paint and finishing kit. Customers have a choice of ordering a complete bike, or supplying their own donor. It’s a cracking first project for the company, and we’re keen to see what they’ll get up to next. [More]
Tamarit stripped the bike down, then had the frame and swing arm chrome plated. They built a new subframe for it, and swapped the OEM seat for a stylish two-piece arrangement. It’s wrapped in leather, and matches the custom tank pads and grips.
Given how old school this Bonneville looks, we’re sure no one’s going to complain about the Firestone Deluxe Champion rubber. Especially since that gorgeous twin exhaust system isn’t hidden under pipe wrap… [More]
The ‘Flow’ (above) is a small displacement-equivalent electric motorcycle, while the ‘Fluid’ (left, below) is basically a pedal-assist bicycle. Both have dismal names, but more importantly, both will come in higher- and lower-power models. Meaning that buyers will have the option to buy versions that’ll fall under most countries’ bicycle or moped laws, and therefore not require a license.
The Fluid and Flow are currently priced at a MSRP of $3,295 and $10,995, respectively. We can’t say the Fluid excites us much, but the Flow looks like it has potential—and there’s talk of batteries, chargers and wheel motors all being upgradeable. [More]
Marc started with a 959 Corse, and basically personalized everything—from the ergonomics to the livery. So the Panigale is sporting new clip-ons and Brembo master cylinders, Ducati Performance rear-sets, a Ducabike billet kill switch, and a whole bunch of under the hood changes. (It even has a prototype Akrapovič exhaust).
The touches run deep, like the scales on the swing-arm—which were created by polishing it to a brilliant finish, then masking out the design and painting it black. New Church Moto even did a custom seat with the phases of the moon stitched into it (it wasn’t ready in time for these photos). It might not be a traditional custom—but it sure is eye-catching.

It’s one of the most endearing EVs we’ve seen. Fred used a Saiette brushed DC motor, and secondhand Nissan Leaf batteries. He also designed a custom subframe to hold it all together, so that he wouldn’t have to hack the Enfield’s stock frame. And that means that this classic can be returned to stock, if the mood strikes.
But that’s not all Fred does with the Charging Bullet. Late last year, Fred covered Britain’s 837 mile ‘end to end’ route, from Lands End in Cornwall to John o’ Groats in the north of Scotland. We imagine he must have enjoyed quite a few pub lunches while charging the Bullet along the way—but it still sounds like an awesome trip.
