Company History
Headbanger Motorcycles brought Milanese taste to the classic American custom idiom. Think rigid looks with modern brakes, narrow tanks with deep paint, and air-cooled V-twins breathing through elegantly fabricated pipes. Each bike is built in small numbers with attention to stance and detail—welds that show, hardware that’s chosen for feel, and ergonomics aimed at real riding, not just photographing. The brand’s identity is rock ’n’ roll without sloppiness: retro silhouettes executed with contemporary reliability, legal lighting, and European homologation. Owners commission bikes much like tailored suits—bars, seats, and finishes chosen to match taste and height—then ride them to events where the machines read as both Americana and Italian design study. Historically, Headbanger illustrates the cross-pollination that defines modern motorcycling: cultural icons remixed through a different country’s craft tradition. The result is metal that looks tough yet refined, a reminder that style and function can meet in a way that ages gracefully rather than chasing television-era bling.
