Bratstyle

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 Inazuma 250 is one of those bikes that’s built for a simple purpose: cheap and efficient transportation of a single body from A to B. Nothing more, nothing less. But if you take a good look a the bike, it has some cool ingredients for some fun on the road. [...]

The Honda CB750 is one of those bikes of the glory days that is being customized over and over and over and over again. Sometimes I see extremely sophisticated (and complicated) builds, sometimes they’re pretty bad. But in order to build a cool, custom(ized) bike, the list of modifications doesn’t have [...]

Back in November 2016, I’ve posted this beautiful Suzuki GS550 by Kaspeed Moto. A perfected restored and slightly modified (“restomod”) cruiser built by a father and his two sons. Father Karsten Dressel is the mastermind and the two sons are both highly skilled professionals: one has a degree in mechanical engineering, [...]

Grzegorz Korczak of Unikat Motorworks keeps surprising me with his extreme variety of builds. Were some builders tend to have a preference for a certain brand or type, Grzegorz just works on all kinds of bikes. With a clear philosophy of his builds “1 of 1”, he tends and tries to [...]

From day one the Ducati Scrambler was on the market, it was clear that Ducati aimed at an audience that would like to customize their motorcycles with their own style. With a wide variety of base models and a huge list of aftermarket parts, the Ducati is easy to personalize/customize. (bearded) [...]

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 [...]

Beautiful classic Honda CB450 brat built by L’établi Garage based on a 1975 parallel twin. After finishing their CX500 cafe racer project they were looking for a different style so when one of their customers came in with a CB450K, it was clear that it should be a brat. Like most projects, it all [...]

Hard to define this CB750, so let’s call it (b)ratstyle built by Hamad Al Romaithi from Abu Dhabi Since his childhood, Hamad was obsessed with motorcycles, what’s been canalized to a passion. In 2016 he started a small shop called Bikers Oasis to build motorcycles and sell small series of parts and apparel. This [...]

It’s always cool if you can share your passion with friends, but it’s even better to share it with your brother, just like Blake and Brandon Ellis. Since the late ’90s, they run a workshop called Ellis Brothers Garage in California. Blake: “We started out restoring muscle cars back in the [...]

The Honda CB750 still is one of the most popular bikes for custom projects. It’s a great machine, has lots of power and since the introduction back in 1969 there are thousands and thousands produced. Till date, there is a massive fan base and a huge aftermarket for parts. This bike [...]

The last push I needed to start with BikeBrewers.com two years ago was this amazing Honda CX500 Cafe Racer by Sacha Lakic. I think it would be a great achievement to equal a build like this, and I’ve always have a slight preference over custom CX500’s. The bike you see right [...]

I usually complain about our six month riding season here in Holland, but when being snowed in every single year is a guarantee, it may be not so bad after all here. But when you’re not able to ride due to the weather, nice things can happen in the garage. The [...]

The first successful naked bikes were launched in the 70s. There was a real battle between the four big Japanese (or big four if you like ;) brands in the naked bike market. Honda had their CB-series, Kawasaki the Z-series, Suzuki the GT-series and Yamaha was pretty successful with their RD-series. [...]
