If you ask me what the number one base bike is for a café racer build, it would be the Honda CB750. Although other platforms like BMW become a lot more popular the last couple of years, I still think that the CB750 served the most custom builds. With ease… (don’t […]

As a custom motorcycle builder, in can be very tricky if you say that a certain build is inspired by something legendary. Chances are that you completely miss the boat and get a lot of critics. Especially when you say that the inspiration came from the P51 Mustang; the long-range interceptor […]

Although I’ve stated that the Honda CB1100 lacks a soul of being a modern cafe racer, it sure has the right ingredients to become one. But in that specific article, I was talking about the model from 2010 and up. This bike right here is based on the rather rare CB1100F that […]

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but this is already the third custom Yamaha XSR700 this month. They just come in from all different angles and in all kinds of categories. This XSR700 was introduced last week at the Wheels & Waves festival in Biarritz. It’s a commissioned build for […]

I have a special thing with the Honda CX500. Actually, it was this CX500 Cafe Racer by Sacha Lakic that inspired me to start with BikeBrewers back in 2015. I honestly thought that is was pretty impossible to come close to Lakic’s design let alone equal it. But the guys from Motoism, based […]

Delivering one high-quality custom motorcycle nearly every single month requires a lot of things. You need to have the right skills, know the right people and have the right friends. Jose Rosell a.k.a. XTR Pepo has it all, and he keeps delivering awesome rides. This is his last one. It’s based on […]

The Honda CB750 maybe is one of the most used based bikes for building a cafe racer. And a lot of these builds look like each other which makes it pretty hard to stand out from the crowd. Nevertheless, there are still popping up really, really nice machines (like this one). […]

With e-bikes gaining terrain and getting more and more adopted in our society, they still tend to be a bit bold. Often stereotyped as transport for elder people. But we have to face it: e-bikes are the future and if you’ve ever ridden one you’ll see that it’s pretty relaxing and […]

The Honda CB750 is one of those machines that’s been done over and over and over again. The “world’s first superbike” just seems to be a safe pick for customization. And that’s no surprise. There are thousands of machines produced the last four decades, they’re reliable, there’s a massive aftermarket for […]

The Honda CB750 still is one of the most popular bikes for custom projects. It’s a great machine, has lots of power and since the introduction back in 1969 there are thousands and thousands produced. Till date, there is a massive fan base and a huge aftermarket for parts. This bike […]

The last push I needed to start with BikeBrewers.com two years ago was this amazing Honda CX500 Cafe Racer by Sacha Lakic. I think it would be a great achievement to equal a build like this, and I’ve always have a slight preference over custom CX500’s. The bike you see right […]

If I say “Switzerland”, you’ll probably think: “chocolate”, “snow top mountains”, “gold” or maybe even “purple cows“. Regular readers and especially custom BMW lovers may think about VTR Customs. Certainly one of the best custom motorcycle shops in Europe. And of course, we definitely love the work of the pro’s, but in the […]

EV Motorcycles are hot! Not only production machines like Zero Motorcycles, who are already producing some serious numbers. There are also smaller initiatives like Energica Motor, Aero Motorcycles and the recently featured E-RAW of Essence Motors. They’re all trying to change the paradigm of motorcycling and us, petrolheads. Now there is another […]

We all know the usual suspects for building a cafe racer, with the Honda CB-series and BMW R-series as the most popular platforms. Small displacement bikes are usually skipped, but in my opinion, a small bike can also be a great base for building a custom motorcycle. And if we’re talking about […]

While 100% electric vehicles are slowly adopted around the globe it’s only a matter of time before the EV-bike is embraced in our motorcycle culture.  The largest EV-bike manufacturer is probably ZERO motorcycles, but smaller initiatives are emerging. Take this awesome Aero Racer EV we saw on the EICMA last year. The […]

Riding off road really is fun to do and if you’re not that worried about cold and snow, you can have a lot of fun in winters too! Just grab an enduro our MX machine and throw yourself around. Try it! It’s cool (and not only because of the low temperatures). […]
