From the Czech Republic with love We told you to remember his name back in November! At the time we published a post on his BMW K100RT and warned you that Marcel Galuszka would be back with more. Well, here he is. In just a couple of months he has yet […]

Although Suzuki is one of the largest motorcycle brands, we don’t feature a lot of customized Suzuki’s. In fact, it was back in January since we’ve featured one. So I was glad to receive a submission of this Suzuki GS1000 Brat from Tom Gilroy, owner of Purpose Built Moto. The GS1000 […]

As my first *official* motorcycle, I cherish some great moments with the Suzuki SV650. I really loved that punchy V-twin engine, and when you come from an underpowered riding-lesson machine, the 650cc twin is a big relieve and makes you think you’re on a rocket. Unless the fact that this SV650 […]

As promised in the beginning of 2017, we’ve reserved more space for shed builds. Of course, we L-O-V-E all those professional builds, but we also think that individual builders deserve a spot to highlight their work. For the occasion, we’ve made a list of the 10 best shed builds we’ve found […]

A couple of weeks ago I’ve featured this awesome GSX-R1100 Cafe Racer. This bike went viral on the interwebs and I stayed in close contact with the builder, Dino Maltoni, owner of Dino Cycles in Argentina. With this machine, they put their shop on the map and I looked forward to their next project. […]

Still traveling while Europe is covered in a blanket of snow confirming that the riding season is still far away… Not too many words again, but some eye-candy of this beautiful Suzuki Bandit cafe racer built by Tony’s Bike Design.

I think no motorcyclist could have missed that Milan was the center of the motorcycling world with the EICMA the past few days. There is a lot of cool stuff happening and we can expect a wide range of fresh retro-machines like the Honda CB4 and the CB4 Interceptor, the Kawasaki […]

My friend Pepo Rosell from XTR Pepo is one of those builders that simply keeps on going and going. You can almost set a timer on it to expect a new build from him. While he has a strong legacy with Ducati’s, he’s never afraid to take on a non-mainstream base […]

BikeBrewers.com is really doing awesome. The blog is ever growing, and the last few months we’re hitting over 120k pageviews a month (and still growing every month). And next to always searching the web for cool bikes to write about, I really like to receive bike submissions from builders. And of […]

If you say “John Player Special”, the minds of petrolheads will drift away to the days when the black and gold F1-Lotusses dominated the trackes. The cigarette makers sponsored the British team from 1972 till 1986. The combination of that classy black and gold and de successes of drivers like Ayrton […]

Of course, everybody likes to see a solid, high-end custom bike from the pro’s. Professional workshops keep popping up everywhere and the growth of the custom scene still didn’t stop so far. Which is a good thing. BUT, I also very much like the shed/yard/basement/bedroom builders. The guys that simply try […]

Another piece by Droog Moto. Should I say more about Max & Erica? Nah… Bragged about them already in this, this, this, and this post. Words by Max: This bike was built for a customer out of Seattle, WA. He already owned the donor bike and was after a cafe racer styled […]

The Suzuki GSX-R1100 is one of those early era superbikes and it was the top of the line for Suzuki for more than two decades. The last oil-cooled model from 1992 put out a massive 145hp at 10,000rpm. A genuine crotch rocket with an engine that was bulletproof. Dino Maltoni from Dino […]
