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 […]

About a year ago I’ve featured this amazing Ducati 900ss built by the Belgium crew of Deep Creek Cycleworks. At that time they were still “all about second chances”, focussing on their passion to turn old bikes back into something rideable and desirable. But with their latest build, they’ve made an […]

The Dutch custom motorcycle scene is growing and growing. On every event, you see new faces and new builders. This machine here is from a new talent in town and goes by the name of Timmer Motorcycles, owned by Maarten Timmer. Maarten has a degree in industrial design and works as […]

The unstoppable Pepo Rosell, a.k.a. XTR Pepo is the most featured builder out here and just as expected, he delivered another amazing bike this month. While Pepo has a long heritage with Ducati, he’s never afraid to pick something different. This time he took a 2001 Honda Hornet and gave it the […]

The Honda CX500 remains of those base bikes that keeps builders inspired. During the last three years, I’ve featured dozens of them. To be honest, in my opinion, there is one bike standing out for me, and that is still Sacha Lakic’s version. Nevertheless, this is a seriously costly machine. But […]

I can’t help it, but we got a submission of another awesome Yamaha Virago. And just like Bal Deo’s Virago I’ve posted last week, it’s an XV750. It’s not on purpose, it’s just how they roll in. This bike is built by Oran, owner of Buriam Siammotor, a motorcycle dealer in Buriram. This mid-sized […]

As proud “Dutchmen” it’s always cool to publish a cool story and pictures of a bike that comes from our home ground. And with an ever-growing custom motorcycle scene, the established workshops keep on delivering top-notch work. Regular readers already know that we have some really great pro builders here like […]

Just like the Honda CB or BMW airheads, the Yamaha Virago is one of the most popular base bikes for custom projects. And yes, it has been done over and over again. Some good, some bad, some terrible. And when a bike design is being consolidated, it gets harder and harder […]

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Lucky Custom from Argentina, but their Honda VF750 Cafe Racer still is one of the most popular posts here on BikeBrewers. With this machine, they went viral and the bike still pops up all around the interwebs. Today I received some images of their […]

The BMW R nineT is one of those machines that can be put under the famous words “Veni, Vidi, Vici”. Right from the introduction back in 2014, it was clear that BMW aimed at a big piece of the retro bike scene as we know it today. Next to an impressive […]

Three weeks ago we’ve featured this cool Honda CL350 Brat build by John Thompson, owner of Retro Rebuilds. He’s specialized in (re)building vintage Honda motorcycles. He built up a pretty firm list of custom bikes and today he presented us his latest machine based on a 1982 Honda CX500. And as […]

Every time when I receive an email from Pepo Rosell, a.k.a. XTR Pepo, I’m a bit excited. “What did he build this time?!” It’s always a surprise because Pepo does not work between the lines. Every single machine that leaves his workshop has a unique look, though it’s pretty clear to […]

A couple of weeks ago I came across a cool picture on Instagram with a cool looking custom BMW K100 and its proud owner/builder standing behind it. I instantly fell in love with the machine and contacted the guy. It was Trevor Ditson and he said that his project wasn’t finished yet. […]

In a world where everybody is looking at each other through a little screen, it’s becoming harder every day to be original. Same goes for building custom motorcycles, it’s hard to build something that’s not been done before in one way or another. Another difficulty is that everybody seems to know […]
