Scramblers maybe one of the most popular type of custom bikes lately. You see them pop up everywhere and every self-respecting brand now offers a production model.

With every bike from XTR Pepo I can start with a story about how amazing his work is, that he’s a true legend and a master builder. Just like this time ;). Pepo is simply one of the best custom bike builders out there. Most of his latest builds are bikes inspired […]

You like it or you don’t like it, but I always like to see small-sized motorcycles being customized. Maybe this is because it makes me think of the early days when I rode mopeds and scooters. The guys from Frenchmonkeys Design are not afraid to work on these smaller machines and between […]

Buying Cafe Racer Parts The Café Racer look is forever associated with 1960’s London. The magical engine size was 650cc and long tanks, short seats, clip-ons and loud exhausts were the order of the day. Café Racers (or better “rockers”) wore black studded jackets with drainpipe dark blue jeans and […]

Right at a moment where I started thinking that Husqvarna seemed to be a little underexposed, I’ve found another cool custom Husky to feature here (don’t forget to check this one and this one). This bike right here is based on the incredible Husqvarna Nuda 900R. In my opinion, a pretty […]

As promised at the end of 2016, I’m trying to post more projects from “shed builders”, “one-timers” and hobbyists (and guys with 2 left hands like myself). I hope that I can inspire others to create their own machine some day, just like Nicolas Pommier from Dijon, France. Which is in […]

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 […]

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 […]
