If there’s one bike that’s more prolific than the classic BMW boxer, it’s the Honda CB750. We’ve seen so many custom CBs we’re almost immune to their charms.
But these two new builds from Hookie Co. have just jolted us from our slumber. Sure, they’re not the first CBs to sport Firestones and ditch their fenders. But they?re super sharp, well balanced and loaded with tasty details.

Hookie Co. is based in Dresden, Germany, and built the two Hondas for different clients. The black one (top) belongs to Ilya, who owns a fashion distribution company in Berlin. The silver one (above) belongs to Jeanne Pierre, founder of Dortmund auto tuning house, JP Performance.
