First of all I want to wish you all the best for 2017 and let us make one simple new years resolution: ride more! I just want to start of with a bike that was built last year (new builds are on their way!). This is a beautiful Honda CB750 called “Bad Seed” […]

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 […]

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 […]

The Ducati Hypermotard was something out of the box when it was introduced at the 2005 EICMA and instantly won the award for “best of show”. The name Hypermotard really did the job because the bike was offering a combination of a supermotard look and riding position and a serious +1000cc […]

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 […]

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 […]

Dealer build off’s seem to be hot lately. Last week we’ve featured a custom Victory Octane as a result of a dealer build off and brands like Ducati and Indian also had their competition among dealers earlier this year. Now it’s time for Triumph to get their dealers building customized versions and they’ve […]

I’m sorry that I don’t have much to tell about this Honda CB550 Cafe Racer yet, only that it’s build by our friends of NCT Motorcycles and that it got a lot of views, likes and comments on our social media channels. It’s one of those machines that has something special, but it’s […]

The successful Moto Guzzi V7 series are updated for MY 2017, and are the 3rd real update since the introduction of the “new” Guzzi V7 (the actual V7 is almost 50 years on the market). The V7 Mark III can be summarized as: more power, more technique, more differences between the models. […]

Usually when I feature a bike from South America it’s a small sized machine (like this cool Yamaha RD135 cafe racer) but today there’s a real beast from Brazil: a Honda CBX750 Cafe Racer, built by a small workshop called Zucconi Projetos. The first thing that stands out are are the main […]

I have to admit: I’m always a bit proud if a cool custom motorcycle is built in Holland. There is a lot going on in the Dutch scene and it seems that the overall build quality is getting better and better. This machine is built by 14Cycles, a small workshop that emerged […]

Where the name “cafe racer” may refer to racing and speed, the most builds we see are not able to compete with modern day +200hp machines. But what if you take one of the most powerful modern street bikes and turn it into a caferacerisch machine? Well, the best way to describe this: […]
