The first successful naked bikes were launched in the 70s. There was a real battle between the four big Japanese (or big four if you like ;) brands in the naked bike market. Honda had their CB-series, Kawasaki the Z-series, Suzuki the GT-series and Yamaha was pretty successful with their RD-series. […]

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 […]

If you’ve ever been to the far east you’ve probably mentioned that a lot of people are using scooters, mopeds and small motorcycles to move around in the city. Intersections are extremely crowded with small two-wheelers and the constant smell of exhaust gasses is pretty much seen as normal. Fanatics like me always […]

We all dream of a scenario to turn one of our hobby(‘s) into a business or job. What is better than paying your mortgage by doing what you love? For a lot of us it will remain a dream, but not for Arjan van den Boom, the owner of Ironwood Customs […]

A Ducati Cafe Racer is probably one of the most desirable custom motorcycles. A combination of the exclusive Italian brand with a strong heritage and the classic looks of a vintage racer. The last few years, Ducati aims to be part of the ever-growing custom motorcycle scene with their Ducati Scrambler. The […]

  In this article, I’ll try to explain how to true a motorcycle wheel. Got the spokes in place? Great! Not there yet? Read this article how to lace a motorcycle wheel. For some it may be dark art which only a few people can do, but I think it’s a job […]

After our photo contest for Best Custom of 2016, we’re up for a new Bikes of the Month. Like every month we’ve selected the best customs from around the web. This month we have a Ducati 750 from Down Under, a BMW K100 from the US, a Yamaha XSR700 from France, […]

2016 was an awesome ride! The custom motorcycle scene is more alive than ever and BikeBrewers.com is very successful in becoming a well-known place to find inspiration for custom bikes. Just like 2015, I want to look back at last year with a top 10 overview of the best custom motorcycles we […]

When I started BikeBrewers.com in the summer of 2015, one of the first posts was about the awesome CX500 Café Racer by Sacha Lakic. I always see this bike as the last piece that made me start blogging about custom motorcycles. A bike that also made the “poor men’s Guzzi” extremely popular […]

This cool BMW RT100, called “Coffee Racer” is built by Georg Trilety from Austria. Georg is a technical illustrator by day and a custom bike builder by night, just like a lot of us here. I always love it when a one-man show finished his creation to show the world. A couple […]

With this post I’ll try to inspire cafe racer enthusiast to start working on their own Low Budget Cafe Racer. Café racers come in a lot of different setups and prices, from bikes under $1000 and even up to $60,000 (like the CX500 Café Racer from Sacha Lakic). I think it’s not necessary to […]

Yamaha made a strong move with the introduction of the their 07 and 09 models of the XSR and MT series. Where the 09 models have an awesome, high performing 3 cylinder, the 07 models are fitted with a 270 degree twin engine with Yamaha’s crossplane engine philosophy. Both engines have their own […]

Finally, another custom KTM! Unless the fact that KTM produces extremely fun to ride bikes, the custom scene is not massively adopting the brand, so I was glad to find this creation by the masters of Deus Ex Machina, built in Woolie’s Workshop. It’s named “The Scrappier”. It’s clear that Deus tried to […]
