Exactly one year ago I’ve launched BikeBrewers.com; the result of a combined passion for custom motorcycles and blogging/websites. Of course there already was a “Big 4” on this topic (Bike EXIF, Pipeburn, Return of the Cafe Racers and The Bike Shed), but I saw some room and made myself a goal to […]

Russia and motorcycles… I don’t really know, but if I think of that combination I see a big, gray and heavy tank on two wheels. But when I saw this custom Ural M-72, I was surprised. This bike is customized by “Fine Custom Mechanics” or in short FCM Moto from Moscow and really […]

As a motorcycle enthusiast it’s impossible to mis one of the worlds biggest racing events; the legendary Isle of Man TT. I’m a big fan of Guy Martin, who’s always battling the other legend; Michael Dunlop. History was made in the opening race of the 2016 Isle of Man TT races, as Michael […]

Looking at the pictures of this custom Ducati Monster S2R never made me think that this bike was totaled in a crash. But it did, so Belgian brewer Bernard Mont had nothing to loose when he decided to rebuild this Duc. And he wanted something else. Well, he succeeded: he created a custom Monster […]

A Vespa motorscooter always will be something I really like. I’ve owned a ’82 150 Sprint for a couple of years and every ride was fun. Not fast, no handling or brakes at all, but cool in every way. I’ve seen motorcycle builders trying to make it a bit sportier, upgrading the […]

VTR Customs from Switzerland is known for their great work on BMW’s and it seems that they have a slight preference for the already legendary R NineT (check out this cool R NineT Café Racer build by them). So to add a little variety in their builds they took another base bike. Since VTR […]

It’s always cool to see great build from your own country and with a constantly growing scene, there is a lot of cool stuff coming from Holland. This bike is from Moto Adonis and based on a ’79 BMW R100RS. This awesome BWM R100RS is not a typical café racer, scrambler […]

An awesome creation from Malaysia; a brutal looking Benelli BN600 Streetfighter built by Kenny Yeoh from Kenstomoto. A BN600 as a base bike, some funds of a client and a carte blanche started all this. It’s called “The Demolisher”. Inspired by a typical Asian anime serie, Kenny wanted to create a bike that would […]

The “Motorbeurs Utrecht” is the general motorcycle show of the Netherlands and always worth a visit. I was exited to see the new Yamaha XSR900 and the new Triumph classic line, especially the Thruxton R, but it was also great to see some of the builds back that got featured here. This […]

We don’t see a lot of small sized custom bikes around, last year we’ve featued one or two small engined Honda’s, but most builders choose larger 2 or 4 cylinder base bikes. But by accident I stumble on this cool Suzuki GN125 Street Tracker, built by a certain “Thomas” from France: […]

The MV Agusta Brutale 800 is a great naked bike by itself, but Officine GP Design from Turin (Italy) had a different view on the MV and made a one of custom bike. The MV Agusta ONE. A modern street fighter with combined with authentic classic details. Cool items are the spoked […]

Yes: I’m a huge fan of Indian motorcycles. Especially the really old (and rare) ones. But also the latest models can make my heart run a little faster. The custom Indian I’ve featured was the beautiful creation of Roland Sands, which also was number 5 in our top 10 custom motorcycles of […]

The Dutch team Moto Puro set themselves on the map about two years ago with the Ducati Elite II; a custom build café racer based on the 1199 Panigale (check it out here). At the end of 2015, Ducati started a worldwide challenge for Ducati dealers to build their own interpretation […]

The KTM 390 Duke is pure fun machine; light, agile, torqy 1 cylinder and cool looks. But as it is with stock bikes: it’s not unique. Esteban & Gustavo Pasquale from Garaje 57, based in Colombia, took this 390 Duke a part and created this out of it:
