Not so long ago we wrote about the German Schenk family who builds awesome custom bikes, with a special focus on BMW and Triumph (check out the article here). Well, they were at it again! Once more they have managed to surprise us with an impressive rebuild of a Triumph Thruxton. […]

Art in progress This very well known Dutch Master of Customizing has waved his magic wand over this bike and turned it into a pure piece of art. BikeBrewers were offered the opportunity to tame this wild stallion and after seeing pictures of it online, we did not have to think […]

Usually, this kind of machines don’t make it to the blog but in a way, this Yamaha XV1700 intrigued me. It’s called Project Warrior and is built by Spartak Garage from Russia.  

Follow my blog with Bloglovin “There’s something brewing in the State of Denmark” Our Viking friends from up North are part of a lively custom community. We got to know the protagonist of this story when he recently launched ‘Aarhus Classic Riders’. With over two hundred members from day one they […]

  Last week I’ve interviewed James Fawcett about this cool Honda 125 Scrambler mashup: Why did you build this bike? Last year I built a CB200t with my then 17-year-old son. This year, my 13-year-old decided he wanted in on the fun. After tinkering with his old XR80, his ideas started getting […]

Industrial Moto’s first build was a 250 Suzuki cafe racer. It was purchased locally in Virginia by a guy who had never ridden a motorcycle before. Since that time he has completed a motorcycle trip across Vietnam and put many miles on his Suzuki closer to home. When he decided it […]

As a Moto Guzzi V7 Racer rider myself, Guzzi’s always get my attention. This V9 Gannet Moto Guzzi is a pure racer with tight stance and proportions. It is a radical transformation from a relaxed cruiser configuration of the Moto Guzzi V9 “Roamer” donor bike, which got designed into a pure […]

I don’t have to explain that the BMW K-series quickly became adopted as one of the most popular base bikes for cafe racer projects. We see a lot of builders, both pro’s and shed builders take their K’s up to speed. In fact, one of the most popular bikes last year […]

I hear you think: “A bobber?!”… Let’s just give it a try! Remember the world’s fastest pizza bike, built in Dubai by VR Customs? Well, that build took place last summer, its hardtail design inspired by the beautiful bike you see here, completed just days before the pizza bike build off […]

Where the classic airheads are a very popular base bike for building a BMW cafe racer, the search for a used bike became more difficult every day. Prices have risen to astronomical heights so builders with a tight budget had to look for other base bikes. A logic step was to […]

Although Suzuki is one of the largest motorcycle brands, we don’t feature a lot of customized Suzuki’s. In fact, it was back in January since we’ve featured one. So I was glad to receive a submission of this Suzuki GS1000 Brat from Tom Gilroy, owner of Purpose Built Moto. The GS1000 […]

With a company statement of “Life is too short to ride boring motorcycles”, you’ve made a very clear statement. The guys from Elemental Custom Cycles from Germany eat, breath, and sleep custom motorcycles. With their shop, they aim to build unique, high-quality builds that not only look good but also have […]

We can almost put it on our calendar every month: a fresh build from our friend Pepo Rosell of XTR Pepo. And as always, it’s a little surprise for us what base bike he took. XTR usually has a special love for uncommon machines. And this month he took a brand […]

A Triumph Cafe Racer Top 10 is not something you write overnight. Triumph has a long heritage when it comes to cafe racers and the brand is a well-known name since the cafe racer scene emerged in the mid-50s of last century. The early-day Bonneville’s where often used as a base […]

You may recall a similar looking bike built by Industrial Moto late last summer. We featured it in 2017. Someone liked it so much they wanted one for themselves and commissioned Industrial Moto to build another one. While this version is based on the original Project Scout concept, it incorporated a […]

‘Bigfoot in Florida’ There are many legends that stem from this part of the United States. The presence of impenetrable swamps is a dominant factor in numerous sightings of ‘Florida swamp monsters’ such as the larger than life Big Foot. The latter must undoubtedly be quite a source of inspiration to […]
