It’s always cool if you can share your passion with friends, but it’s even better to share it with your brother, just like Blake and Brandon Ellis. Since the late ’90s, they run a workshop called Ellis Brothers Garage in California. Blake: “We started out restoring muscle cars back in the […]

  Time flies when you’re having fun…: back in October 2015, Yamaha introduced the DT-07 Flat Tracker concept. A project by Yamaha and JPD Cycles and inspired by the recognizable black and yellow Yamaha XS650 in the old days of flat track racing with “King” Kenny Roberts as a dominant factor. The […]

If you like custom BMW‘s, chances are that you already know the guys from Diamond Atelier. This relatively young custom bike shop impressed the whole scene by delivering top notch builds like this one and this one. This is their 9th build and just like DA#4, it’s based on a BMW R […]

This Ducati Flat tracker is the result of a cooperation between Fuller Moto and Lloyd Brothers Motorsports, to create a brand new race team in the American Flat Track Series (AFT). The bikes built for the race team are now available in a very limited edition to ride the streets. The Ducati Flat […]

Beautiful classic BMW K75 Cafe Racer by Moto Adonis. Personally, I’m very happy to see that the quality of builds from Holland is constantly growing. Maybe a bit biased, but I’ve featured a lot of bikes from our small country lately. We have some real great pro-builders like Ironwood, Wimoto, and […]

Kradwandler is a spin-off from the supermoto racing team of Dirk Spaniol; DSR Racing from Germany. Back in 2012 they’ve decided to start a small workshop that builds custom motorcycles under the wings of the race team. Now, five years later they’ve got a pretty cool list of custom bikes. This […]

Another month of 2017 behind us, another Bikes of the Month on BikeBrewers.com with some interesting machines. The interesting part is that all five machines here are built around a base bike we don’t see that often. We’ve got four (!) out of the box Honda’s: a Shadow 600, a CG125, […]

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 […]

Small motorcycles usually are built for very specific regions like Asia or South America. Instead of “built for fun”, like a lot of motorcycles are, these small machines are “built to move the owner from A to B”. So if a custom workshop takes one of these small urban transportation machines as […]

Picking a Honda Shadow as a base bike to turn into “something sporty” is not for everybody. But there are some builders out there that did an amazing job on Honda’s small V-twin, like this one by XTR Pepo and this one by Rocket Supreme. And now we can add this […]

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 […]

Fast scooters… There was a time here in Holland that everybody had one. Tunes machines with 50 or even 70cc to ride (or better) race the open streets. Since regulations about speeding got a lot tighter, and youngster can get their car drivers license on the age of 17, it seems […]

The Aprilia RSV1000R is a true beast with a powerful 998cc V-twin delivering a smashing 143hp and 107Nm of torque at around 10,000RPM (it’s a twin!) to move a weight just under 200kg. Such power comes with great responsibility and makes the “Mille” a serious track weapon. But it’s rarely used […]

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 […]

This may look like a strange name for a bike that’s actually a Honda FX650. But it’s not the frame or the engine that’s in the center of this build, it’s the mythical gas tank of the Husqvarna back in the 70s and 80s. Since that’s the only Husqvarna part of […]

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 […]
