Unstoppable super-builder Jose “Pepo” Rosell delivers another radical machine based on a 2003 Ducati Monster. If you’ve seen Pepo’s other works, you can recognize his work in a split second. This bike is called “Pata Negra” and is a bike built for endurance racing and has written “performance” all over it. […]

When an e-mail begins with the sentence “I’m not a mechanic” with these pictures attached, I thought I was loosing it. What I see, is a perfected creation of somebody with taste, vision and a set of skills to die for. The e-mail came from Marco Matteucci and he opened up like […]

Since day one I’m a big fan of Jose Rosell’s (a.k.a. “Pepo”) work. Usually Pepo focusses on Ducati’s, but this time he took a ’92 BMW R100R as a base bike for another awesome creation. His goal was to build a real classic racer, stuffed with only the best parts and […]

I’m a huge fan of Jose Rosell’s work (XTR Pepo). He’s a big name in the custom scene and mostly works on the Italian beauties of Ducati. I’ve seen some awesome machine from his hands, like this Ducati 1198 “The Matador”, I’ve featured last year here on the blog. This time, Ducati […]

Spanish bike brewer Jose “Pepo” Rosell from XTR, former “Radical Ducati” or RAD is know for his awesome and brutal Ducati builds. They announced to stop in 2014, but the brand was bought by the French Ducatiamo, so RAD could still build on. This Ducati 1198 is stripped from a lot of weight […]

Luuc Muis of LM Creations has achieved a remarkable feat with the BMW R00, creating an electric motorcycle that maintains the iconic characteristics of vintage motorcycles. Unlike other electric conversions that feature a large battery box where the engine used to reside, the R00 has a bolt-on EV drivetrain that replaces the existing crankcase while keeping the gearbox intact. This allows for a more authentic riding experience, with the ability to shift gears and experience different torque and speed sensations in each gear. The power unit is a 72V motor that can generate up to 20kW peak power and 72 Nm torque, with a max rpm of 7500. The 4.3kW 72V battery pack has a calculated urban range of 80km and weighs just 24kg, while the charger options include 1.8kW and 3.3kW 230V chargers. With its innovative design and attention to detail, the BMW R00 is a true standout in the world of electric motorcycles.

It was a cold winter day when BikeBrewers took the trip to pay a visit to the digs of UNIKAT Motorworks. It had been a visit which was long overdue. We have been writing about Grzegorz Korczak and his team of highly skilled professionals for many years and each time he has managed to surprise us with incredible gems that rolled out of their workshop. It was a long ride to get there from the, but fortunately there was no heavy snow in Poland at the time, which made for a long but comfortable ride. Grzegroz was already waiting for us with a nice cup of coffee and local pastries, but we were in for a bigger treat.

They say it’s the largest fair for custom bikes in Europe, and after visiting the Custom bike-show in Bad Salzuflen the first weekend of December, I’d say they are right! As you can expect from our German friends it is well organized, from parking to lay out of the halls to […]

Long before BMW gained popularity as the adventure motorcyclist weapon of choice, thanks to Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman’s escapades and their Long Way-series, BMW already had a reputation for building bullet-proof adventure bikes.

The big one Well no, it’s not a coincidence that this bike has been photographed in Rotterdam (the Netherlands). And maybe yes, it might be a cliche. As the bike is a cross between modern and classic, we thought it would be cool to match the background, so here it is. […]

Some time ago we received a care package from Rusty Stitches. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the name, we suggest you start reading this first. The now Dutch band of misfits is working hard to make a name for themselves in the custom and urban motorcycle riding gear […]

Ready. Set. SCRAM! I had some time, I just wanted to ride. No frills, no haste, no frustration. And then I got the email. ‘We still have the Scram for you to ride and review if you like?’ And that was it. As you can imagine, this isn’t a powerhouse. It […]
