Custom built from the ground up, Joe’s aim for this machine was to build what Matchless might have made themselves (had they not given all of their engines to Brough for their Superior) in the style of a Brooklands sprint racer.
After many years of graft, sourcing and fabrication the finished machine is both delicate and brutal, and itching to tackle that banked circuit…

'Web Surfer 2' - Buell Flat Tracker by Mule Motorcycles
A serious flat track inspired build from the guys at Mule Motorcycles makes it's way to our arches and we couldn't be more chuffed. These guys specialize in Harley and Triumph builds with a huge doff of the cap to flat trackers. This V Twin brute has some very trick mods, gorgeous lines and wooden seat unit...

'Tokyo Connection' - Cheetah X SIdeburn Indian FTR
Toshiyuki “CHEETAH” Osawa, Sideburn & Indian have created something special with the FTR that was unveiled at the Bike Shed Show 2023. The Indian FTR is already an incredible machine from factory, so the task of improving upon is was a feat in itself.
We think this is quite possibly the best FTR out there, with it's custom tank cover and seat cowl unit built by Cheetah Custom Cycles and a host of other mods, it is truly a jaw dropping build that now stands proudly at our pedestrian entrance of 384 Old Street.
Come and have a look, take some snaps and revel in the level of craftsmanship that has been achieved. Cheetah, Sideburn & Indian, we salute you!
'Sushi Suki' - Sticky's Speed Shop
One of the highlights (and late arrivals...) of our 2023 Show, Sushi Suki, built by @stickys_speed_shop is a marvel that any 80s to mid-naughties superbike aficionado must feast their eyes on. Ours are well and truly transfixed. We've often had their bikes in residence here and, you can probably see why! With @ryanroadkill providing the amazing design and graphics for the bodywork, it is truly special.
Visit the Bike Shed London to witness this one off Slingshot that somehow houses and GSXR1000 engine, on carbs...
'John Player Special' - Norton 850 Commando
This stunning Commando takes up residence at the Shed. With its upswept fairing and bulbous indented headlights this machine sure as hell would have 'smoked' any competition of the day (pardon the pun).
Drop by the Shed to grab a peak at this immaculate piece of history.
'Widow Licker' - Sticky's Speed Shop
This is the second tenure of Widow Licker at the Shed, built by @stickys_speed_shop but it now sits face to face with it's sibling, Sushi Suki, in our gallery arch in London. @ryanroadkill strikes again with an amazing livery for this one, further cementing this legendary partnership.
You have to see this GSXR1100 in flesh!
PAST RESIDENTS
'MotoGP Royalty' - GASGAS Factory Racing Tech3 GP Bike
Taking up a very short term residence with us, we were honoured to have hosted @augustofernadez37 active 2023 MotoGP bike within the Bike Shed London's Arch 3. We also hosted Augusto and teammate @polespargaro for a lunch date with lucky competition winners, Regulars and Members who broke bread with these two legends here at the Shed!
Unfortunately this bike was only here for 2 days as it had an appointment with a British racetrack... If you caught it, you're among the fortunate!
'Luxurious Metal' - Norton V4SV
The only 'British built & designed' superbike on the market, had a long standing residence at the Bike Shed London.
Performance is at the forefront with this machine, focusing and celebrating it's British heritage but its overall aesthetic and carbon body is what is truly undeniable...
The bike has now ended it's residency in lieu of a different kind of Norton... We were proud to house such a spectacular machine!
'Flynn' - Polished Studio Custom
This captivating machine from @polishedstudiocustoms may be listed as an '86 Harley, but that doesn't come close to telling the story of this build, currently on display at our Shoreditch HQ. With over 1500 hours spent hand crafting more than 80 bespoke elements, this is a truly unique motorcycle. If you want feast your eyes on the details then head to the BSMC Classifieds. Or if you'd rather, come down to the Shed in London and see it in the flesh!
