BAAK Stories
The journal of the workshop
BAAK Stories is where we share the everyday life of the workshop. The motorcycles taking shape, the materials we choose, the journeys we take, and the people behind every signature piece crafted in Lyon.
From the silk-craft heritage of our city to the leather workshops of today, BAAK weaves a thread of French savoir-faire applied to custom motorcycles. Every build tells a story. Every detail carries an intention.
Read along, in six universes.
- Builds — Custom motorcycles crafted in our workshop, from initial sketches to delivery.
- Workshop — Behind the scenes: processes, materials, and the hands that shape every machine.
- Automobiles — Cars, scooters, and Méharis carrying the BAAK signature beyond two wheels.
- Guides — Practical knowledge: size charts, buying guides, materials primers.
- Notebooks — Field notes from trips, shows, and motorcycle events.
- Origins & Roots — The Lyon heritage and craft tradition behind BAAK.

Six motorcycles, six stories, all crafted in our Lyon workshop.
The workshop in Rillieux-la-Pape
At BAAK, every motorcycle is born here, in our workshop on the outskirts of Lyon. A space where designers, mechanics, leatherworkers, and metal craftsmen work side by side.
We never industrialize. Every project moves through the same hands: those of our artisans, with the same attention to materials, the same demand for finish, the same signature.
