Untitled Motorcycles are back with an impossibly elegant Moto Guzzi 850. We’ve also got a BMW R nineT tweaked for the track, and proof that even a Honda Shadow can be turned into a cafe racer.

Honda CR500 by C?s Garage Introduced in 1984, Honda?s ?Ping King? CR500 was notorious for one-wheel exploits and its high compression, shin-bustin? kick-start. So we already have a soft spot for Team Red?s motocross beast. But this one from New Zealand?s C?s Garage ? well, it?s turning us to goo.
Working from a bone-stock US import, fabricator-in-chief Adam Hedges wanted to build the flat track bike Honda might have made in 1985, had they thought of it. Many of the finishing touches are factory quality: Take that custom swingarm for example. Crafted from chromoly tubes that match the CR?s frame for size and shape, it shortens the bike?s wheelbase by about 1.5 inches. The subframe took form using the same stock, and was then topped with a new fiberglass tank and tail. Other special touches include the handcrafted mid-pipe and the fact that Adam grafted together a couple of radiators from a pair of CR250s to keep big thumper cool. Suspension is R6 forks up front and a Ducati shock in the rear; both ends ride on Excel rims that Adam laced up himself. In order to make sure he could enjoy his Ping King on road as well as off, a KTM?s Brembo was mounted up front although Adam still has some lighting issues to tackle for full street legality. [More]
