Yet Another exclusive feature of my buddy’s at Wrench Kings. This time it’s a Yamaha XJR1300 from 1999 and with this build, they show their capability of creating custom motorcycles that look like they were meant to be like this. Owner Frits wanted something else with his bike and headed over […]

A couple of weeks ago I’ve visited our friends at Wrench Kings and owner Joost Dingemans told me everything about his journey with his workshop and his ambitious future plans. It was great to feel the awesome vibe of a proud guy standing with two feet on the ground (in his […]

The, relatively new, Dutch brewers of Wrench Kings, did an crazy cool job on this Honda GL500 (based on the CX500). With this bike they definitely put The Netherlands on the map in de café racer scene. They took this baby for a complete strip down in their workshop based in Utrecht […]

BikeBrewers scoop ‘maiden ride’ The Tamarit team from Spain have their very own view on custom building. In a relatively short period of time the Alicante based workshop have managed to carve out a very special niche in the world of customization. Their 81st build is yet again proof of their […]

Beautiful classic BMW K75 Cafe Racer by Moto Adonis. Personally, I’m very happy to see that the quality of builds from Holland is constantly growing. Maybe a bit biased, but I’ve featured a lot of bikes from our small country lately. We have some real great pro-builders like Ironwood, Wimoto, and […]

A near perfect Honda GL500 café racer, an even brutal as rare Benelli streetfighter, a cool concept bike from Honda, a sexy BMW R80 from Holland, another BMW café racer based on a R100 and as a bonus something very special based on a Belgian FN (a bike which I actually own!). […]

Since the custom bike scene got his big revival, the BMW R-series or “Airheads” are one of the most popular base bikes for cafe racers. And that’s for multiple reasons. They’re extremely reliable, […]
