The Yamaha Virago is one of the most popular base bikes for custom projects and there are some really beautiful and unique projects out there (check out my Top 10 here). There are some builders out there who simply nailed it with their own interpretation of the Virago. And designs like […]

XTR Pepo usually works bigger bikes but for the occasion, he released his extraordinary powers on a moped; a 1975 Mobylette SP90. Which is, speaking of European standards, a motorcycle, since its little engine exceeds the 49.9cc’s. I didn’t found the time to work out a proper story while I’m traveling a […]

Yeah, that’s right: there is no such thing as a BMW R168. But this creation right here deserves its own model number. This piece of art is built by the guys from Kacerwagen from Spain, maybe you remember them from the radical Aprilia RSV1000 Cafe Racer I’ve featured back in April this year. This […]

Maybe you’ll remember this awesome Honda CB750 Nighthawk Cafe Racer? If not, you really should take a look. It was build by Industrial Moto and shows us what these guys are capable of. Their latest project is called “Project Vasquez” and is based on a Yamaha XV.  Project Vasquez from industrial […]

BikeBrewers ran into Hanok Siefu at the Big Twin Bike Expo in the Netherlands recently. He was competing against more than sixty other builders at the show with his shed built Honda CX 500. With his roots in Ethiopia, this fellow countryman has firmly set up camp below sea level. Residing […]

The Honda CG125 isn’t the most spectacular Honda out there. In fact, it’s a cheap and efficient machine with a simple purpose: transportation. Some may even call the Honda CG125 a moped. But despite the fact that this little fellow isn’t as fast as it’s bigger brothers, it’s still a fun […]

It’s always fun to receive an email from Grzegorz Korczak of Unikat Motorworks. Every time he surprises me with his wide variety of builds. Were some builders tend to have a preference for a certain brand or type, Grzegorz just works on all kinds of bikes. With a clear philosophy of his builds “1 […]

I think no motorcyclist could have missed that Milan was the center of the motorcycling world with the EICMA the past few days. There is a lot of cool stuff happening and we can expect a wide range of fresh retro-machines like the Honda CB4 and the CB4 Interceptor, the Kawasaki […]

Just some eye candy for a bit of a lazy start of the week: a beautiful 2008 Triumph Speed Triple Cafe Racer built by Badass Factory.

Two weeks ago you could see the “real life” pictures of the Honda CB4 “Neo Sports Concept” here at the blog. This is a production ready bike to get a piece of the market in neo-classic/retro bikes. But Honda is not only showing production models this year. Honda will also reveal […]

My friend Pepo Rosell from XTR Pepo is one of those builders that simply keeps on going and going. You can almost set a timer on it to expect a new build from him. While he has a strong legacy with Ducati’s, he’s never afraid to take on a non-mainstream base […]

This machine right here is built by Kustom Special Components, or KSC, from Italy. One of the team members, Massimo, is an Italian engineer living in the UK. The KSC shop is located in Italy and is run by his partner Fabio, who is specialized in machining parts and welding. They took […]

BikeBrewers.com is really doing awesome. The blog is ever growing, and the last few months we’re hitting over 120k pageviews a month (and still growing every month). And next to always searching the web for cool bikes to write about, I really like to receive bike submissions from builders. And of […]

As a V7 rider myself, I’m always a bit biased when it comes to custom Guzzi’s. So yes, I was happy to receive this Moto Guzzi V7 Sport racer in my inbox by Shiro Nakajima. Shiro is the founding father of “Ritmo Sonero”, a motorcycle parts shop in Japan for European motorcycles. This […]

[su_youtube url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhg_IhExBFc” width=”740″] Video by Donker Licht. Unleashing the BEAST! In a recent post on Facebook, I joyfully exclaimed: “FINALLY! I get to test the Triumph Thruxton Supercharger, based on a T120 R”. More than six months of waiting in excitement was about to erupt when we received a call from the […]

Two years ago, Honda showed their Honda CB4 Concept at the EICMA 2015 in Milan. Now, almost two years later, Honda is teasing us with some more pictures of the Honda CB4, which is likely to get its market introduction on the EICMA 2017 next month. With the Honda CB4, Honda will […]
