The BMW R NineT is real modern café racer. From day one it’s meant to be customized. And why not? It’s a great bike with a powerful engine and a wide range of custom, aftermarket, bolt on parts. And if you say custom and aftermarket parts, one name pops up: Rizoma. So […]

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 […]

The builders of Steel Bent Customs get a brief and clear assignment: build me a café racer based on a CB750 with a big USD fork and spoke wheels. All other details and designs where up to the choice of the builders. Nothing to fear when you take a look at […]

BMW classics are a common choice for custom motorcycle builder. Recently we’ve featured an awesome BMW R100R Café Racer by Diamond Atelier, now the Austrian guys from Vagabund Moto showed us their version of the R100R Café Racer.

Custom motorcycle enthusiast Alex from Piston Trigger loves Japanese classics and already had a cool custom bike, based on a KZ400. Unfortunately, he crashed that one into a van and destroyed (most of) it. So he was desperate in need of a new ride. On Craigslist he found a ’79 Kawasaki KZ650 in […]

UPDATE: Official pictures: Not much to find about yet, but we’ve spotted this awesome build by Oficina MRS. It’s a cafe racer based on a Kawasaki Vulcan S. The stock Vulcan S is a bit of a bulky tourbike with no cafe racer look, at all. But as you can see: […]

Diamond Atelier is know for their clear vision on custom motorcycles and created some real masterpieces (like this BMW R100R we’ve featured earlier). Build number 5 (codename DA5) is based on a ’92 Suzuki DR650, which was the daily ride of co-founder Tom Konecny. The Suzuki DR650 is a real dirt bike […]

I stumbled upon a great bike which is shown on this page. But when I did some research on the project, I saw an even greater story behind the build: Sofi Tsingos from GT-Moto practically grew up in an aircraft maintenance shop with her father. The shop was full of old cars […]

Sometimes I just stumble upon a cool looking custom motorcycle without specs, just like this Suzuki GSX-R Café Racer by the German brewers of Custom Wolf. They’ve customized this GSX-R 1100 into something “strong & black” and called it “Espresso”.

Building a café racer always starts with a passion and a plan. Oscar Axhede from Sweden had a plan to build his own café racer and bought a CB750. But after a while he could not give this bike the styling he was looking for. So he sold the CB750 and bought […]
