We’ve cast the net wide this week, with a selection of tasty motorcycles that are worlds apart. Purpose Built Moto kicks us off with a slick Ducati 900SS café racer, then we look at a stunning Kawasaki H1 Mark III restomod from the USA. Our fastest candidates are this week’s 75th anniversary MotoGP bikes, and our slowest is a 1965 BMW R60/2 with a very peculiar sidecar rig.

Ducati 900SS by Purpose Built Moto Our friends at Purpose Built Moto in Gold Coast, Australia have built plenty of ground-up custom bikes, but they’re not opposed to taking on smaller jobs too. The owner of this Ducati 900SS café racer brought the bike in with a solid set of mods as a foundation?but needed Tom Gilroy and his team to take it over the finish line. Although the Ducati looks like a modified 900SS, it’s technically a replica. Since it came to the shop with most of the cosmetic and engine work done, Tom’s not entirely sure what the donor bike was?but the numbers indicate that it might have started life as a Darmah.

The shop that had worked on it previously had already treated it to a carbon fiber body kit, a bright red frame, rebuilt 18? wheels, and a fully rebuilt motor. PBM was tasked with adding a custom exhaust and front fender, finishing off the lighting, and rewiring the bike from head to toe. While they were at it, they nipped and tucked a couple of things to tighten up the overall package.
