    Liquid Cooled Pioneer: The Suzuki GT750

    Liquid Cooled Pioneer: The Suzuki GT750

    The Suzuki GT750 is one of the most beloved Japanese bikes of all time. Released in the early 1970s during the formative age of the superbike, the GT750 was designed primarily as a sports tourer. Its smooth acceleration and comfortable ride made it a more refined alternative to the Kawasaki Z1 or Honda CB750.

    But what really earned the Suzuki GT750 a prominent place in motorcycle history was its innovative engine. The GT750 was the first Japanese motorbike to employ a liquid cooling system for the engine rather than the traditional air-cooled setup.

    1973 Yamaha XS650 Chopper

    1973 Yamaha XS650 Chopper
    This summer we took a trip to Michigan to participate in the Zylstra choppers Apocalypse Run up to the upper peninsula, (a feature we will be running next month) and we had the chance to connect with some really inspiring and interesting builders along the way who also made the trek for the run on their custom bikes. One stand out bike that refused to go unnoticed at every stop was this 1973 XS650 built by Nick Moyer of Chicago. With every single element of this bike custom made and fabricated from other found parts this bike was unlike any XS650 we had ever seen. Not to mention it's hard not to love a chrome frame and nods to builders like Indian Larry with his wild twisted downtubes. Basically every chance that Nick had to change up an element of the bike to make it completely innovative and original to him he went with it. Repurposing old hot rod car parts and custom fabricating other parts the bike really stands out on it's own. We waited for the dreaded upper peninsula Michigan rains to subside on day 2 of the run and sat down with Nick to discuss some of our favorite parts of the build.

    Husqvarna CR250: Motocross Legend

    Husqvarna CR250: Motocross Legend
    When you’ve been making products for over 300 years, you learn a thing or two about making things last and making things count. 
    For Husqvarna, this journey of making things that count began way, way back in 1689. Founded in the Swedish town of Huskvarna, they originally began producing muskets for the Swedish army. In fact, their logo is still an H with a set of gun sights on top of it! Their march towards domination of the off-road motorcycle racing world wouldn’t take place until well into the mid-1950s when a new form of racing known as “Motor - Cross” (today known as “Motocross”) was taking over post World War II Europe. 
    At the core of their growth and dominance was the 250CC off-road motorcycle. Later known as the CR 250, it was simple, durable, and fast. We can’t wait to tell you all about this amazing machine:

    Northwest Noise - Hot Carl Racing

    Northwest Noise - Hot Carl Racing

    So, what do vintage Japanese motorcycles, the flat-out speed of the Bonneville Salt Flats, and punk rock, f*** it all attitude have in common? Hot Carl Racing, that’s what.

    There are some people that you know have one hell of a story, and the combo of Dan Osborne and Mike Dillard of Hot Carl Racing are just the type of enthusiasts that we love at Old Bike Barn. Recently, while Bear was shooting for yet another speed record at the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats, he came across a couple of dudes with a set of outrageously fabricated Yamaha XS650’s that he had never met before. Turns out, these guys not only ran one hell of a bike but had an incredibly interesting story to tell.

    2021 Indian Larry Block Party

    2021 Indian Larry Block Party
    The Indian Larry block party has succeeded in taking over Brooklyn for the love of motorcycles annually and is going on 18 years strong! It's a beautiful sight and a truly a fitting continuation of Larry's legacy and wild spirit. A tradition that people from not just the East Coast but all over the country have come to rely on as a fantastic season ending event. This year brought two very special twists adding the Grindhouse gallery indoor art, photo and custom bike exhibition and Rhett Rotten's Wall of death, something that has not been set up in the city of Brooklyn for many years. Every square inch of concrete surrounding the Indian Larry/Genuine motor works complex was loaded with a variety of entertainment this year and and Bobby, John, and the whole crew worked really hard to make sure this was one for the books. We joined in on the fun again this year and it was definitely a well rounded experience that kept us on our toes to keep up with covering all the action.
