One of the targets with BikeBrewers.com is to inspire others to start building their own custom bike. Of course we display a lot of great builds, but a lot of them are from the hands of (semi) professionals. The shed/yard builders are a bit snowed under, but they deserve an audience […]

When an e-mail begins with the sentence “I’m not a mechanic” with these pictures attached, I thought I was loosing it. What I see, is a perfected creation of somebody with taste, vision and a set of skills to die for. The e-mail came from Marco Matteucci and he opened up like […]

Sometimes customizing a bike is more than just switching some parts and changing some colors. Sometimes it’s not. But it’s too simple to give this BMW R NineT, built by Mr. Martini from Italy, the tag “easy, thirteen in a dozen”. It’s te combination of parts and colors used, which makes this bike […]

Last week I’ve featured a “hidden gem around the corner”; the one-off BMW Cafe Racer built by Gerrit Tijssen. But when we visited his cozy workshop, my eye fell on a “side project” he called the BMW Bobber. When I asked him about it, he said: “Ahh, this was just an incomplete, far from original machine, so […]

Since day one I’m a big fan of Jose Rosell’s (a.k.a. “Pepo”) work. Usually Pepo focusses on Ducati’s, but this time he took a ’92 BMW R100R as a base bike for another awesome creation. His goal was to build a real classic racer, stuffed with only the best parts and […]

When I started with BikeBrewers back in 2015, I never realized that the custom motorcycle scene would become such an interesting world for me. I met a lot of great people around Europe and made new friends. Finding cool builds still is one of the biggest challenges for me, since I […]

About a year ago I’ve stumbled upon a custom motorcycle from Meat and Grease. A small workshop in Belgium owned by two IT guys who needed some time off the desk. So they’ve decided to start building motorcycles next to their day jobs. In september I’ve featured one of their first bikes, […]

Yes: BMW is one of the largest motorcycle brands. Yes: they build great machines. And yes: the BMW R nineT is one of their finest modern classic motorcycles. From day one, BMW aimed on a big slice of the retro/vintage/hipster market R nineT BMW . Just like Triumph did for years with […]

The BMW R100GS is an evolution of the legendary R80GS and is likely one of the most toughest bikes from the 80’s. But in the custom scene it still goes strong. This R100GS Scrambler is called “The Elegant Escape” and is built by Officine Sbrannetti from Italy. The name is a direct […]

Since the guys from Diamond Atelier started in the summer of 2013, every single creation is simply spot on. We’ve featured some of their builds here and we see them back on some toplists we’ve published. Their third build, the “DA#3” literally melted down the web. Just like this one, it’s based […]

This bike is build by David Wildman and his team at National Custom Tech Motorcycles from the Alps in Austria. While their name may be unfamiliar, NCT has an impressive range of builds from various brands. Tough, their love for the Bavarian R-series stands out. Their company tagline hits a sweet […]

The BMW R nine T is one of the most beautiful (and powerful) modern classic bikes out there. A real retro bike with the classic BMW air cooled boxer engine but full of modern technology. The model was introduced in 2014 and was a direct success and a full worthy add to the BMW […]

A couple of weeks ago I was looking into one of the many cafe racer groups online and I stumbled upon a cool BMW R100R Cafe Racer posted by Paulo Pereira from Portugal. I instantly fell in love with his bike, and so did others regarding to the many likes and share’s I […]
