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 […]

If I say “Switzerland”, you’ll probably think: “chocolate”, “snow top mountains”, “gold” or maybe even “purple cows“. Regular readers and especially custom BMW lovers may think about VTR Customs. Certainly one of the best custom motorcycle shops in Europe. And of course, we definitely love the work of the pro’s, but in the […]

The Suzuki SV650. My first real (road legal) motorcycle. I still can remember the day that we’ve picked up this half-fairing, sharp-lined v-twin machine. Not a lot of power, but lots of torque and fun for rookie riders who like to have a bit more “punch” than the regular four inline […]

2016 was an awesome ride! The custom motorcycle scene is more alive than ever and BikeBrewers.com is very successful in becoming a well-known place to find inspiration for custom bikes. Just like 2015, I want to look back at last year with a top 10 overview of the best custom motorcycles we […]

The BMW R nine T is one of the most beautiful (and powerful) modern classic bikes out there. A real retro bike with the classic BMW air cooled boxer engine but full of modern technology. The model was introduced in 2014 and was a direct success and a full worthy add to the BMW […]

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 […]

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!). […]

A modern cafe racer is the solution for those who can’t/won’t build there own cafe racer or just don’t want to have the maintenance of an old bike. Building your own bike is awesome, but also requires a lot of time, effort, skills, knowledge, space etc. Since the scene for cafe […]

A café racer project all starts with one simple question: which bike should I use as a donor / base motor? In this post we list some of the most popular models which are very suitable to turn into a café racer and are affordable for the most of us. Classic icons […]

It all started in 1992, when BMW developed the R1100RS which developed 90hp and 95 Nm of torque. The engine was a 1085cc air-cooled boxer with a top speed of 218 kph for 239 kg. It was a half-faired naked machine which at that time was very aerodynamic. As the years […]
