The 2025 Handbuilt Show in Austin, Texas was another one for the books. Nearly 150 of the most interesting, rare, and custom-built bikes from builders all over the nation and beyond…not to mention some really neat cars, hot rods, art, stunt riding, and vendors.
Previously we gave you some highlights from the official Builders’ Gallery courtesy of show organizers Revival Cycles. Those included just one angle of each bike — a right profile shot. But we were just getting started.
Our man on the ground, Kody Melton — a Texas Superhooligan / King of the Baggers racer and star photographer — captured some truly remarkable shots of many of the bikes from the show, with many more details. A few days ago we shared our first round of his photographs, including cafe racers, road racers, roadsters, and sport / superbikes — with nearly 500 images from the show, we have to divide them up somehow.
Today we’re thrilled to bring you some of the scramblers, trackers, and dirt / rally / adventure bikes on display, along with a few details of each build courtesy of the show. Enjoy!
What are your top 3 picks? Let us know in the comments!

1975 Harley-Davidson XR750: Hill Country Motorheads Motorcycle Museum
The Harley-Davidson XR-750 is a 750cc V-twin racing motorcycle produced primarily for dirt track racing, but also for road racing in the XRTT variant. The XR-750 was designed in response to a 1969 change in AMA Grand National Championship rules that leveled the playing field for makes other than Harley Davidson, allowing Japanese and British motorcycle to outperform the previously dominant Harley-Davidson KR race bike. The XR-750 went on to become the winningest race bike in the history of AMA racing.

Some of these ‘scramblers’ are the ugliest things ive seen on two wheels. Were they made to actually do the job, or just simply throwing a high fender onto an overweight V-twin and calling it a day?
