Italjet is a small Italian brand I honestly only knew from their “Dragster“: an out of the box designscooter from the late 90’s. Not only the looks and the use of a “space frame” where out of the box, but also the RADD forkless suspension. Before the dragster they produced small […]

A couple of weeks ago I was looking into one of the many cafe racer groups online and I stumbled upon a cool BMW R100R Cafe Racer posted by Paulo Pereira from Portugal. I instantly fell in love with his bike, and so did others regarding to the many likes and share’s I […]

Exactly one year ago I’ve launched BikeBrewers.com; the result of a combined passion for custom motorcycles and blogging/websites. Of course there already was a “Big 4” on this topic (Bike EXIF, Pipeburn, Return of the Cafe Racers and The Bike Shed), but I saw some room and made myself a goal to […]

Kymco is a brand most of us know from their scooters and mopeds. I can remember a time here in Holland that every rave-party-die-hard rode one, wearing bomber jacks and Nike Air Max…The successful Taiwanese manufacturer of motor powered two wheelers now wants to shake things more up, aiming at a […]

Yamaha Virago’s and that Benelli Mojave tank… It seems to be a golden combo. And to be honest, I still like to see them. I’ve even featured two custom Virago’s with the same kind of setup in our last monthly overview. Though, still completely different, just like this Virago 1000 Cafe […]

The meant-to-be-hipster-bike Ducati Scrambler (no I don’t turn the names around like the marketeers intended to), is a cool bike from itself and has a long list of (bolt on) custom parts to personalize the ride. It’s also a bike where Ducati challenged their dealers all over the world with the “Custom […]

Guest post by Matt McLeod of Krank Engineering. Also check out my article about what you should pack in a small motorcycle tool kit. Motorcycling is an amazing pastime. Maybe it’s your favorite motorsport. Or maybe you just ride a motorcycle to work. But if you’re reading BikeBrewers.com, you’ve got passion for […]

This month we have another amazing bike from (Ducati) legend XTR Pepo, a radical BMW R nineT from Australia, a BMW S1000R from Switzerland a Honda NX650 from South Africa and last […]

Since Vagabund Moto thrilled the scene with their amazing BMW R100R Scrambler (with a some café in it), I kept a sharp eye on them. This amazing creation finished #2 in the top 10 custom motorcycles of 2015. A couple of weeks ago they’ve started with some teasers on Facebook, announcing their latest […]

Today I received an e-mail from Mauricio Tavares (friends call him “JT”) from Johannesburg, South Africa. Together with a friend he created something very cool, based on a 1999 BMW R1100R. Really worth to share this bike and it’s story! Mauricio worked for many years in the “corporate jungle” and a couple […]

Since the Guzzi V7 in it’s latest “retro” form was released back in 2008 I knew that I would own one myself some day. And now I do; I’m the happy owner of a 2014 V7 Racer. So yes, I have a slight preference on the V7… The V7 is a […]

Never heard of FB Mondial? You don’t have to shame yourself. It a (very, very) tiny motorcycle brand from Italy. The brand has roots that go back to 1929 and build some motorcycles between 1948 and 1979. Back in the 50’s, the brand has won 5 road GP world titles. After that period, […]

Our friends from VTR Customs are 100% BMW fanatics and we’ve seen a lot of cool builds leaving their shop. Remember this cool BMW R1200R Café Racer? Or what about this brutal custom R NineT? So you’ll get it that I’lI keep a close eye on them. This is their latest […]

Russia and motorcycles… I don’t really know, but if I think of that combination I see a big, gray and heavy tank on two wheels. But when I saw this custom Ural M-72, I was surprised. This bike is customized by “Fine Custom Mechanics” or in short FCM Moto from Moscow and really […]

Unless the fact that I’ve listed the Honda CB as one of the best cafe racer base bikes, it was months ago since I’ve featured one here. So I was glad that I found a great CB build. This CB550 Bratstyle is built bij Jerikan Motorcycles from Nice in France. Honda CB550 […]

As a motorcycle enthusiast it’s impossible to mis one of the worlds biggest racing events; the legendary Isle of Man TT. I’m a big fan of Guy Martin, who’s always battling the other legend; Michael Dunlop. History was made in the opening race of the 2016 Isle of Man TT races, as Michael […]
