The Hortaco dirt tracker is a unique fusion. It pairs a Bultaco Pursang chassis with a Honda CB 250 RS engine. Rolling on Triumph rims and stopping with BMW brakes, the bike it is finished a lot of custom parts and a Kawasaki tank. It’s a true Frankenstein build, meticulously crafted for the dirt track.
The MZ TS 250 A build 1978 was a two-stroke motorcycle produced in East Germany. The NVA model was a military variant used by the National People's Army, known for its ruggedness and simplicity. It featured a durable single-cylinder engine and was well-suited for various terrains.
The Katoria Z 200 perfectly encapsulates the spirit of custom bike building. This unique motorcycle, a blend of a classic Kawasaki Z 200 engine, a Victoria frame, NSU fork, and a Suzuki wheel, is a prime example of upcycling. It's a testament to the creativity of builders who craft one-of-a-kind machines from repurposed parts.

I'm Sebastian (aka Dr. Gonzo), and I'm all about building motorcycles that you can't get off the shelf anywhere. For me, it's not about flashy display or excessive aftermarket purchases, but rather classic, handcrafted one off a kind motorcycle with character.
As a child, I tinkered with everything with wheels with my grandfather together and rode many mopeds through the woods. After school, it continued: motorcycle dispatcher, university, doctoral thesis – always accompanied by various bike projects to give me something to ride and get away from my desk.
The new Custombike article is a good chance to reactivate my Instagram account. Follow me if you're into real, homemade motorcycles. I'll take you along and show you some of my projects.
