When it comes to minimal design, my passion for it extends way beyond graphic design. When it comes to design in general, whether it be a house, a shirt, or a spoon, I also prefer a minimal approach and aesthetic. So when I saw these custom motorcycles by Copenhagen based shop Wrench Monkees, I immediately fell in love.
Most of their bikes have a cafe racer style which I love, and the bikes are stripped down to their bare essentials: a motor, two wheels and a handle bar. The bikes have more a mechanical look to them as oppose to the mainstream bikes that are all cover in plastic.
When looking for inspiration, even motorcycles can influence my designs. I love it.
Definitely makes me wish I rode a bike!
Gotta say that I’m getting more and more impressed with contemporary Danish design.
always loved their minimalistic cafe racers. Good alternative for those shoddy new Triumph Bonnevilles.
Gotta love Wrench Monkees, they make nice bikes even nicer.

Being a graphic designer who also loves motorcycles, I immediately fell in love with their work. I stumbled upon Wrench Monkees a while ago, and it just so happened that they share an affinity for a certain bike I was currently rebuilding, ’78 KZ750 B. I’m changing the way I was going to build the bike, as they have a gift for finding the design hidden in the design of a bike. The way it should have been designed. They are true artists.
Really love their work, Deus Ex Machina and Falcon also produce some similar motorcycles.
