Préparateur moto Cafe Racer & Néo-Rétro Urban Mechanics Indépendant

Honda CB 250 N Velos

Velos started as small capacity Honda CB 250 Nighthawk, a small chopper for every day use with cast wheels and a big ugly seat. We decided to transform it to a scrambler ready to rip. The end result is much more than we expected it to be.

Yamaha SR 500 Rotten Racer

Greece’s The Real Intellectuals are a rough group of motorcycle nuts who hawk their goods from downtown Athens. In their shop they sell motorcycle gear and apparel and thousands of beers to local bike nuts. Occasionally they run a madcap dirt event dubbed ‘The Rotten Race’. Not content to just sink booze and watch from the sideline, they teamed up with local shop Urban Mechanics to build an entry, a 1990 Yamaha SR500.

Yamaha SR 250 Ethos

Ethos started as a commission by a store owner who runs a Cold pressed Juicery called ‘Ethos’ . The idea was to capture the purity and the colourful palettes of fruits and vegetables that he uses every day for his products. The donor was a Yamaha SR 250 and the result is a colourful yet chic small city commuter.

Kawasaki W650 The Wave

Creating an understated, effortless look for a custom isn’t easy. It takes a good eye and a carefully considered approach. That elusive blend of minimalism and timelessness is exactly what we had in mind when we set out to build this daily runner. Influenced by the Eurocentric ‘new wave’ custom scene, we bought a 2003 Kawasaki W650 from an old British surf instructor on the island of Rhodes.

Suzuki GSF600 The Bandit

Sometimes less is more, and when it comes down to daily commuting, it’s also gold. Keeping in mind that no radical changes were to be made on the frame, this Bandit stole our hearts by effortlessly transforming into a world-class motoGP ride. With the heart of a 600cc engine and the looks of a Suzuki Limited model of yesteryear, a few additional simplistic touches recreated a two-wheel legend, familiar to the Ducati SS racing bikes of old.

Honda XR250 The Silver Sand

We wanted to create an ode to the 60s Trials and Scrambler motorcycles. Light & fun.

Yamaha XS400 Dark Solvent

What is darker than black? A Dark Solvent. This is the name of this XS400 Cafe racer and total black was the only brief we had.

Yamaha XS250 The Fallen Leaf

They say the leaf doesn’t fall far from the tree. With the XS250, it is true. Originating from the practicality of our genesis project, this motorcycle integrates leaps of evolution in order to become the ideal traffic beater and swift transportation machine for the urban outback. Paying attention to detail, we provided it with a metropolitan arsenal, from a hidden USB port to integrated controls on the handlebars. Still, it won’t deny a quick blast on dirt, far from the city lights.
