Why Minx ?

It all started with a Virago 250 that we wanted to take from ugly duckling to beautiful Cafe Racer. When searching the meaning of Virago, the transformation to Minx became obvious.

 
virago
/vɪˈrɑːɡəʊ,vɪˈreɪɡəʊ/
noun
  1. a domineering, violent, or bad-tempered woman.
    "the campaigns of these indignant viragoes will come to naught"
minx
/mɪŋks/
noun
  1. an impudent, cunning, or boldly flirtatious girl or young woman.
    "you saucy little minx!"

 

 Formerly OZ Motorcycles, Minx Moto Co. Started in 2006 importing Dirt bikes from Xmotos in China. These dirt bikes were a great start, but our passion was in Cafe Racers. Our focus changed in 2011 to Customising and transforming bikes that were all a bit boring into bespoke pieces that get people talking.
All the while, Minx Moto Co. owner Terry Pike worked 10+ years at HART St Ives as a Motorcycle Instructor delivering RMS Pre-Learner and Pre-Provisional courses, Private Lessons as well as Intermediate and Advanced Courses.
This enormous amount of experience is now available to New and Experienced riders on the Northern Beaches through our OZ Rider Training Programs
