Passionata When we think of Italy we automatically think of tasty food and wine, exotic cars, expensive motorcycles, cappuccino, designer clothes, and temperament. It is safe to say that in Italy, they live their lives in a different flow. It is for that same reason most people fall in love with [...]

Madrid to Barcelona Last winter, I set out on a road trip for work cutting through Spain. If you have to travel and you work for BikeBrewers, what else can you do than ‘always ride in style’? Departing from rainy Madrid and headed for sunny Barcelona, followed by even sunnier Valencia [...]

BOOMING business We have seen a number of very cool custom build motorcycles from Poland. We said this before, and we’ll say it again: Poland is BOOMING! We would like to introduce to you Dawid. This young fella works at a motorcycle garage, so he knows his way around the workshop. [...]

We are starting a new item here at BikeBrewers, where we take a closer look at the people that build the motorcycles instead of focusing on 1 specific bike, we call it: Bike Builder Profile. And for the very first edition of Bike Builder Profile, we have a very special candidate [...]

Tough as Nails If you see the man in real-life, it is quite easy to feel intimidated by his sheer size in both length and width. The long hairy beard adds to the tough-guy-factor as well. But honestly, the reality couldn’t be more different. Nick Keen is the exact opposite of [...]

Exotic Machines Ducati’s are known for building some of the world’s most aesthetically pleasing and high-performance motorcycles. The comparison with Italian car manufacturers such as Ferrari is easily made. Due to their racing heritage, the engineers at Ducati know exactly what it takes to make a race winning machine.

A Photographers Eye Usually, photographers are people who manage to capture images in ways many of us can’t. At BikeBrewers we have many photographer friends, and it is safe to say that the majority of them are true artists. It never did come to our minds that photographers could have other [...]

From Amsterdam to Madrid Several years ago, I rode across Europe on a modified Triumph Bonneville T100 while moving from Amsterdam to Madrid. Shortly after my arrival, I discovered a ‘just opened’ local motor shop called ‘Irons Café Racer’ ran by Miguel and his wife Natalia. Their little helper being an [...]

Mad Max meets The Walking Dead There is something really interesting about post-apocalyptic science fiction stories, both written and on TV. Trying to imagine how a distorted future would look like, has fueled many conversations. 40 years ago, it was Mad Max that started the rat bikes movement, and it appears [...]

Unusual suspect The Yamaha XS400 is not a bike that is particularly popular or well-known with bikers. It was built and sold between 1978 and 1987, and was in fact preceded by the XS360. Severely overshadowed by its more successful siblings at that time, the XT500 and XS650, Yamaha did manage [...]

Not the first time Last year a guy by the name Bob Kelly called Sean Skinner, the top-gun and at Motorelic, couldn’t stop raving about a previously built 1979 Kawasaki KZ he saw on the internet. He asked if he could ship a donor bike and get started. At first his thought [...]
