Fresh out of the workshop — magnesium KHI calipers.

The kind of detail most people will never notice… but the right people absolutely will.

Recreated in magnesium to capture that unmistakable factory race-bike look, right down to the material and finish.

This is the level we’re chasing with our builds — not just restored. Recreated properly.

Would you run these on your build?

Making a CR500 engine fit is the easy part. Making it fit properly is where the work starts.

Developing and testing the forward engine mounts for our 1992 Suzuki RM250 / CR500 conversion.

Engine position, alignment, clearance and load paths all have to be right before anything gets signed off for final manufacture.

Prototype. Fit. Measure. Test. Refine.

No guesswork when you’re putting CR500 power into a chassis that was never designed for it.

This is the part of the build most people never see.

1984 Honda CR500 — pre-restoration start up.

Before the teardown begins, we wanted to capture the bike exactly as it arrived and hear it run one last time in original unrestored form.

This one is heading into a full Garage Eleven restoration, with the focus on preserving the character, details and presence that made Honda’s early open-class machines so iconic.

A proper piece of motocross history, about to begin its next chapter.

Not many of these get built. 2010 KX500AF, running custom triple clamps. Final fitment of the radiators and muffler is all that's left.

90s Honda CR graphics just looked better.

Bold colours, loud patterns and absolutely zero interest in being subtle — exactly how motocross should look.

Which era had the best CR graphics: early, mid or late 90s?

When you spot an old Ballard's Off Road sticker on the shock 👀

A little piece of Australian off-road history hiding on this XR600.

Exactly the sort of detail we love finding on these older bikes — and definitely not something we’d be removing.

When does an old race bike become worth preserving?

2006 KX450F.

We've already spent around 6× its purchase price recreating the original KHI triple clamps in magnesium — and that's before you get to the incredible hubs, coated fork tubes and suspension built with fluids.

Financially sensible? Absolutely not.

But these are the bikes that are becoming the next generation of motocross history.

Twenty years ago, this was just a race bike.

Now we're restoring it like it matters.
