Another custom XSR700?!? Yes… Since the introduction of the Yamaha XSR700 back in 2016, I predicted that we could a lot of customized versions. With the XSR-series, Yamaha openly aimed at an audience that wants to distinguish themselves with their motorcycles. For this, they offer a complete range of custom, bolt-on […]

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but this is already the third custom Yamaha XSR700 this month. They just come in from all different angles and in all kinds of categories. This XSR700 was introduced last week at the Wheels & Waves festival in Biarritz. It’s a commissioned build for […]

Under the label “if it ain’t Dutch, it ain’t much”, Yamaha Motor The Netherlands and watch brand TW Steel, work together to create a line of unique custom motorcycles that are linked to each other. One year ago this unique collaboration started with this cool custom XV950R, built by the guys […]

Just some eye candy of a beautiful Yamaha XSR700 Flat Tracker built by Jigsaw Customs. This bike was featured at the 2017 Wheels & Waves festival in Biarritz and was commissioned by the Yamaha Yard Built program: xsr

It was just a matter of time for the Yamaha XSR900 to come. After the successful launch of the Yamaha XSR700, Yamaha decided to power up their range of retro bikes. This bike is a great add-on to todays modern classics. This time with the already legendary 850cc triple cylinder of […]

Also check out the Yamaha XSR900! The Yamaha Yard Built program stimulates custom bike builders to come up with cool designs based on stock Yamaha bikes. The main requirement is that the built doesn’t need welding or frame cutting. If a project is successful, the builders are able to create their […]

A Special Story It is common for us to write about a motorcycle with a special story, and in a way, they are all very personal. Still, this might be the most special motorcycle we have covered to date. This is a story about a man that does not compromise. Controversial […]

The saga continues We wrote about Danny Schneider's first build for Indian Motorcycle back in July 2021. The then new partnership between the man behind Hardnine Choppers and Indian Motorcycle was launched with a custom built 1931 Scout.

  Back in 2020, BikeBrewers were invited to join the first edition of the Café Racer Fest in Kyustendil, Bulgaria. Unfortunately COVID had paralyzed the world and travel restrictions caused us to miss out on that event. We followed the happening on social media while the enthusiasm of participants, visitors and […]

No introduction needed. It is time again for a Top 10 list, and this time we’ve decided to split it up into 2 instalments. Ladies and gentlemen, we would like to present to you, the totally arbitrary, BikeBrewers Top 10 Cafe Racers Hall of Fame: Part 1! 1. BMW R nineT […]

Long run Some of the happiest people on the planet live and work in Hamamatsu, Japan. Yamaha introduced the XJR 1200 in Europe in 1995 and has continued to sell the XJR in Europe until 2016, but not without a few changes throughout the years. Most notably, the XJR got a […]

Yes! You’re right! Better late than never! This is the list of the 21 best custom motorcycles of 2017! Last year we did a voting based on the stats of popular bikes that year but this time we kept things much simpler. So no hard data, voting system, social statistics, or fancy […]

The apple does not fall far from the tree We recently came across 29-year-old Anton Knutsson From Sweden on Instagram. This being his primary communication channel for the bikes he produces under his company name ‘Injustice Customs’. The bike that caught our attention was quite a stunner and within the hour […]

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 […]

This beautiful machine can be listed under the title: “a good brew takes time”. The story behind this bike started almost 6 years ago in the shed of Joseph Savor for Sydney, Australia. Before this project, he owned an SR400 which he bought from Deus. After he rode this for some […]

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 […]
