A BMX with a 125cc engine in a replica Mongoose frame, a Harley Sportster converted into a motocross bike, a Ducati Monster from a Spanish race shop, and a Piaggio Ape snow drifter powered by a Triumph Street Triple engine. Let’s have some fun this week!

Shed-built Harley-Davidson ‘crosser This crazy Sportster-based dirt bike could almost be called the result of boredom. Robert Warren conceived it while he was laid up in hospital, facing a life-threatening illness; an alternative, he says, to watching daytime television. Then, once he was discharged, he spent his recovery period building it with his son, Jordan.
Robert and Jordan had a very specific goal in mind?Jordan wanted to race the bike in the Malle Mille off-road event. So all the focus went into making it lighter, faster, and better equipped for dirt bike shenanigans.
The list of mods is extensive, with every last custom part made in Robert’s shed. This H-D has the forks, front hub and rear brake from a Suzuki RMZ450, Öhlins rear shocks with relocated shock mounts, and big Excel hoops laced up with stainless steel spokes.
The fenders are custom fiberglass numbers, and Jordan shaped the tank from aluminum himself, with techniques his pops taught him. This 1200 cc Sportster also features a Honda CRF carb, a unique engine breather setup and brutally short exhausts that pack quite a bark. According to Jordan (who used to race motocross), it’s one wild ride. [More]
