This website evolved from OZBIKE magazine, Australia’s original custom motorbike magazine. Established in 1978, OZBIKE magazine is the longest running and most respected publication of its type in the Southern Hemisphere. The latest issue of Ozbike magazine is at the printers now; you can buy an advance copy from us today and we’ll pay the postage (Australia only).

If you have customised your bike in any way, we’d love to know about it. email me at skol@ozbike.com.au

OZBIKE is updated daily with the latest biker news, selected custom bike features and technical articles, and lists upcoming biker events in Oz. Make sure you check back often.
