Street & Custom

Street & Custom Motorcycles
Yamaha MT-07
Consistently one of the best-selling naked bikes in Ireland, favored for its reliable 689cc parallel-twin engine, aggressive “hyper naked” styling, and great value for money.
Honda CB750 Hornet
A top contender with a 755cc twin engine producing over 90bhp, offering a high-spec electronics package (riding modes, traction control) at a competitive price point.
KTM 390 Duke
Known as a “corner rocket,” this is highly popular in Ireland for its sharp, aggressive styling, agile handling, and suitability for A2 license holders, making it a top choice for both beginners and experienced riders.
Kawasaki Z650
A stalwart in the class, known for being a reliable, agile, and accessible machine, updating with full LED lighting and traction control for modern riding.
Triumph Thruxton RS/900
Triumph is a staple in this category, and the Thruxton (both the 900 and the high-performance RS) is frequently listed as a top choice in Ireland due to its authentic styling, clip-on handlebars, and strong modern-classic performance.
Kawasaki Z900RS Cafe
Introduced in 2017, this bike is a highly sought-after modern-retro, featuring a 110hp engine and styling that pays homage to the 1970s Kawasaki Z1, complete with a bikini fairing and lower handlebars.
Royal Enfield Continental GT 650
Recognized as an accessible, stylish, and beginner-friendly option, the GT 650 is a popular choice for those looking for a pure café racer aesthetic without the high cost of larger European models.
Ducati Scrambler Cafe Racer
Based on an 803cc V-twin engine, this model combines scrambler and café racer elements with 17-inch wire wheels, a tail cowl, and aggressive styling that has been a hit in the market since 2017.
Trikes
Harley-Davidson Tri glide Ultra
The Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra is by far the most recognised full-size touring trike in Ireland. It’s essentially a full-dress Harley touring motorcycle converted into a factory-built three-wheeler with:
- Massive comfort
- Huge luggage capacity
- Strong road presence
- Classic Harley V-twin character
Can-Am Spyder RT
The Can-Am Spyder RT is very different from traditional trikes because it uses two wheels at the front and one wheel at the rear. This gives it much more stable cornering and a very modern riding feel. The Spyder RT suits Irish conditions surprisingly well being stable on wet roads, comfortable for long journeys and easier for non-traditional riders.
Harley-Davidson Freewheeler
The Harley-Davidson Freewheeler is essentially the lighter, more stripped-back version of the Tri Glide Ultra. Compared with the Ultra it is smaller, more agile, more cruiser-focused and less touring-oriented. Irish riders often choose the Freewheeler because it’s easier to manage on smaller roads, more “fun” feeling with classic Harley styling and without huge touring bulk.
Rewaco RF1 GT
The Rewaco RF1 GT is a premium German-built trike designed specifically as a three-wheeler from the ground up. Unlike converted motorcycles, the Rewaco feels more like a hybrid between sports car and motorcycle, very stable, very refined. It’s popular among mature touring riders, luxury buyers and riders wanting something unique.

Malle Mile Festival

Ireland's Premier Racing Circuit
Mondello Park International Race Circuit is the only FIA Licenced Motor Racing circuit in the Republic of Ireland and was opened in its original layout in 1968.
Classic Bike Festival
The Revival Racing Motorcycle Club was founded when Phillip McCallen and Robin Titterington who decided to turn their shared interests into an official Motorcycle Club. After a couple of quick meetings, they were on their way to creating something extraordinary – The Classic Bike Festival Ireland.
