The Yamaha Virago is a becoming more and more popular as a base bike for café racers. Despite the odd lines of the original machine, it can be turned into something beautiful. And one of the best parts of the Virago is the powerful V-twin engine. Good for us is that […]

The BMW R NineT keeps attracting custom bike builders. No news at all, since it was build as a modern café racer and comes with an extensive list of aftermarket parts. Big brands like Rizoma have an entire catalogue, just for the R NineT. This brew comes from Switzerland and is created by […]

Before we start featuring new great custom motorcycles in 2016 we want to look back at 2015. So we’ve overlooked al 100+ motorcycles we’ve featured last year and made a top 10 of it. And no: that was not easy, because only we only feature the best bikes ;) So we also […]

The BMW R80(rt) was a common used police (or better “polizei”) bike for the German law enforcers in the 80’s and 90’s. MotoAlex from Germany found two of them and decided to turn these twins into café racers. There are not many specs revealed yet, but we can see that these guys made […]

Honda is one of the most popular base bikes for a café racer. But most of the times we see a customized CB or CX. But the Honda Shadow is a bike we don’t see that much in the custom motorcycle scene. So this Honda Shadow Café Racer deserves to be […]

Building your own café racer is beautiful, but for some of us it’s a project without an ending or it’s simply not possible due to other reasons. In that case you can buy a modern café racer or if you don’t want a new bike, you buy a custom (classic) project […]
