Revealed: The Top 10 Custom Motorcycles of 2017
It?s been a cracking year for the custom motorcycle scene, with a delectable array of killer builds from all over the world.
There?s also been a huge shift towards the mainstream. The big manufacturers have moved on from simply running custom programs and competitions, and are now selling retro and naked bikes with ?factory custom? styling.
Looking closer at the independent builders and workshops, it?s been hard this year to pick out a trend. If anything, it?s been anti-trend: the different genres of bike building have leveled out, with no dominant type.
Interest in scramblers is higher than cafe racers, which have finally bottomed out. Trackers are slightly on the rise?but only slightly, despite the media attention given to flat track racing. It?s bobbers that are comfortably in the lead?with interest probably driven by the popular Indian Scout and Triumph Bonneville factory Bobbers. This year?s Top 10 is probably our most eclectic list yet. It?s purely data driven, based on page views, incoming links, and social media sharing. It?s also weighted according to how long ago the bike was featured, so that bikes that appeared in January are on an equal footing with bikes that appeared a couple of weeks ago.
Respect to the builders who made the list, and the photographers who captured their skills.
