The Honda CM-series may not be as familiar and legendary as the CB-series, but the Honda CM450 still is an interesting machine. The first bike in the CM-series was launched in 1979 and had a 395cc twin cylinder engine, which had a lot of similarities with the CB400T. But instead of […]

Somehow motorcycles and surfing are two subcultures very close to each other. The annual Wheels & Waves Festival in Biarritz is probably the best example of the two cultures coming together. Chris Tope from Bellingham (MA, USA) is a guy standing with one foot in the motorcycle scene and the other one in […]

Last week I’ve featured this awesome custom Kawasaki W800 and I was complaining about the fact that the I only see a few Kawasaki W-series being customized. Call it a coincidence or just randomness, but today I’ve found another custom W. This time it’s a cool looking Kawasaki W650 Brat built […]

Small sized motorcycles are very popular in Brazil and they’re usually meant to bring one from A to B in a cheap and efficient way, nothing more, nothing less. The Yamaha Fazer 250 (or YS 250) is a bike specifically built for the Brazilian market and is introduced back in 2005 […]

NCT Motorcycles from Austria is becoming one of those “well-known builders” and they keep producing very cool custom motorcycles. In our photo contest for “best custom of 2016”, they even had 2 bikes in the Top 10. Their latest machine, a radical Ducati 848, will soon be published on BikeEXIF, but […]

When I started BikeBrewers.com in the summer of 2015, one of the first posts was about the awesome CX500 Café Racer by Sacha Lakic. I always see this bike as the last piece that made me start blogging about custom motorcycles. A bike that also made the “poor men’s Guzzi” extremely popular […]

A few days ago I received an e-mail from Andrew Lake with a project submission. It took me back to one of my first posts here: the CX500 Bratstyle by IWC. And I thought is was worth the share with my readers. The story are Andrew’s own words: I grew up in […]

To explain what riding a motorcycle is about to non-motorcyclists you get on a slippery slope. Ask a motorcyclist and chances are that there are many, many explanations. Some like speed and performance, some say it’s the freedom that they experience, others like being outside or feel “one with the machine”, […]

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 […]

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 […]

Yes! A new build from our Dutch fellows of Wrench Kings! Last year they’ve shown us what they are capable of with their cool Honda GL500 Café Racer and this time a Kawasaki Z650 is turned into a cool bratstyle bike. It started with a small question from one of their clients: “could […]

If you like Italian bikes and live in the UK you’ll know the guys from Moto Strada. Since 2004 they serve Italian motorcycle enthusiasts with a wide range of services. One of their own passions is to build one-off bikes, with a strong love for the Moto Guzzi V7 series as a […]

The “Motorbeurs Utrecht” is the general motorcycle show of the Netherlands and always worth a visit. I was exited to see the new Yamaha XSR900 and the new Triumph classic line, especially the Thruxton R, but it was also great to see some of the builds back that got featured here. This […]

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 […]

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 […]
