Other Customs

Usually, I don’t like to just repost bikes from other websites. But with projects from a friend, it’s different. And the complete bike you see here is totally different. Regular readers already know the story and work of Arjan van den Boom, owner of Ironwood Custom Motorcycles and I’ve featured a […]

Fast scooters… There was a time here in Holland that everybody had one. Tunes machines with 50 or even 70cc to ride (or better) race the open streets. Since regulations about speeding got a lot tighter, and youngster can get their car drivers license on the age of 17, it seems […]

EV Motorcycles are hot! Not only production machines like Zero Motorcycles, who are already producing some serious numbers. There are also smaller initiatives like Energica Motor, Aero Motorcycles and the recently featured E-RAW of Essence Motors. They’re all trying to change the paradigm of motorcycling and us, petrolheads. Now there is another […]

To be honest, I have to say that bobbers are not a specific type of motorcycle that I love, but I must say that my perception slowly is changing in a positive direction. And if I take a look at the motorcycle market, I think we see a similar change in […]

Last week I’ve featured an incredible Moto Guzzi Griso Tracker which was a one of the finalists in Moto Guzzi’s “Lord of the Bikes”; a custom motorcycle battle. The Tracker was a winner in the 3rd round and here I have another one I’d really like to share with you. It’s actually […]

Ever heard of CCM Motorcycles? Chances are that you didn’t. Let me start with a brief history of the brand: CCM, short for Clews Competition Machines, was founded in 1971 by Alan Clews. Alan was a successful trails and cross rider in the 60s and raced mainly BSA machines. But when […]

VTR Customs is the in-house custom department of the official BMW dealer Stucki 2 Rad in Schmerikon, Switzerland. This independent custom shop specializes mainly in BMW conversions. No wonder that VTR Customs selected a current motorcycle from the range of models by the Bavarian manufacturer for participation in Essenza Sprints (check […]

While 100% electric vehicles are slowly adopted around the globe it’s only a matter of time before the EV-bike is embraced in our motorcycle culture.  The largest EV-bike manufacturer is probably ZERO motorcycles, but smaller initiatives are emerging. Take this awesome Aero Racer EV we saw on the EICMA last year. The […]

Another great piece of work from Donny Ariyanto of Studio Motor, the rockstar builder from Indonesia. From a design perspective, you just like it or not. But from an objective perspective, this custom Harley XL1200 is something special. Unlike most custom bikes we see these days, this is not based on a […]

Right at a moment where I started thinking that Husqvarna seemed to be a little underexposed, I’ve found another cool custom Husky to feature here (don’t forget to check this one and this one).  This bike right here is based on the incredible Husqvarna Nuda 900R. In my opinion, a pretty […]

The Kawasaki W800 could be called an instant modern classic. No racer, but an easy goin’ cruiser: powered by a torquey 773cc parallel twin with that typical classic look and sound. While most of the time the modern classics of Triumph are an easy pick as a donor bike, the W800 is […]

I’ve always got a special place for lightweight custom bikes. I don’t know why, but maybe it’s because I don’t see a lot of them customized. I’m a big fan of Vespa’s and I can remember that this custom Vespa by Marek Nachlik got a lot of likes and shares when I […]

One of the targets with BikeBrewers.com is to inspire others to start building their own custom bike. Of course we display a lot of great builds, but a lot of them are from the hands of (semi) professionals. The shed/yard builders are a bit snowed under, but they deserve an audience […]

Last week I’ve featured a “hidden gem around the corner”; the one-off BMW Cafe Racer built by Gerrit Tijssen. But when we visited his cozy workshop, my eye fell on a “side project” he called the BMW Bobber. When I asked him about it, he said: “Ahh, this was just an incomplete, far from original machine, so […]

Custom Indian motorcycles are not featured that often here, so it was about time that a cool custom would pop up. About a year ago I’ve featured this beautiful Indian Scout by Roland Sands Design (listed #5 in our Top 10 Custom Motorcycles of 2015) and earlier this year this cool Indian Scout Boardtracker. This […]

This machine right here is the “Aero Racer”, a concept bike from the Italian brand Aero Motorcycles. which is best described as: high tech, electrical urban sports bike. Or something like that… The motorcycle is based on a Tacita motorcycle, also a small Italian brand with a line of EV motorcycles. […]
