Got wood" Yamaha’s latest Yard Built custom has plenty of it, and looks amazing. We’ve also got a super-tough Honda CBX1000 streetfighter, a Mobylette cafe racer (yes, really) and a Harley-Davidson Softail Springer with a salt flat drag bike vibe. Enjoy.

Honda CBX1000 by Tony?s Toy Custom Motorcycles The man behind TTCM is the former Italian and international race champion Tony Calasso. Not surprisingly, there?s a definite performance focus to the builds that rollout of the Milan shop.
But when a 1982-spec Pro-Link CBX1000 found its way onto Tony?s bench, he laid off the engine work. That stonking-six Honda mill was never lacking for power, so Tony turned his attention to making the rest of the bike live up to its potential. This CBX now rides on the front-end from a late-model Benelli, complete with twin radial-mount Brembos. And out back, the swingarm has been swapped out for a modern unit, too. (To my eyes it looks like one from a 2012 Honda CBR1000RR, but don?t quote me on that.)
The tank and frame may be original units, but the seat and tail are all-new and snag some serious style points. If it were headed to my garage, I?d probably spec out a symmetrical approach to the exhaust, but it?s not. And I?m in no position to argue with a champion racer. [More]
