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. [...]

Small sized motorcycles are very popular in Brazil and they’re usually meant to bring one from A to B in a cheap and efficient way, nothing more, nothing less. The Yamaha Fazer 250 (or YS 250) is a bike specifically built for the Brazilian market and is introduced back in 2005 [...]

Stumbled on this cool Honda CB750 Bol d’Or cafe racer built by Classic Way Atelier from Portugal.

When I was in Barcelona last year I visited Fuel Bespoke Motorcycles and met the owner Karles Vives. Great to have a look at his workshop and talk about custom bikes. Since his shop was full with ongoing projects I asked if he ever has time to ride these machines. His answer [...]

As promised at the end of 2016, I’m trying to post more projects from “shed builders”, “one-timers” and hobbyists (and guys with 2 left hands like myself). I hope that I can inspire others to create their own machine some day, just like Nicolas Pommier from Dijon, France. Which is in [...]

The guys from NCT Motorcycles seem unstoppable! With 2 bikes finished in our Top 10 Customs of 2016 (this CB550 and this R100) and an impressive list of custom bikes on their name. This is the latest creation of the Austrian “superbuilders” David Widmann, Kurt Kosjek and Manuel Tilke. It’s based [...]

NCT Motorcycles from Austria is becoming one of those “well-known builders” and they keep producing very cool custom motorcycles. In our photo contest for “best custom of 2016”, they even had 2 bikes in the Top 10. Their latest machine, a radical Ducati 848, will soon be published on BikeEXIF, but [...]

In this post I’ll explain how you can make your own motorcycle wheel truing stand for just a few bucks. Of course you can just buy one, but why not make it? That’s what BikeBrewers.com is all about, isn’t it? Since it’s a very visual task, I used mainly images with instructions [...]

It’s a total coincidence, but this week looks like the “single cylinder week”. First I posted this cool Kawasaki KLR650 Scrambler and yesterday this awesome Honda FX650. Both built on bases that we don’t see that often. This machine right here is even rarer: it’s based on a Zaeta 530 DT. Never [...]

Yesterday we’ve featured a pretty cool KLR650 Scrambler, a pure fun machine with a big fat 650cc single cylinder engine. A bike to get dirty off the tracks. Today we have another big 650cc single cylinder machine, also built in France, but now with a different purpose. This is the Honda [...]

The Kawasaki KL650 is one of those “rocks” in the Kawasaki line-up. Introduced in 1987 and still running strong with only one major update back in 2008. A bike built for a straight purpose: reach every possible outback on two wheels with one massive 651cc single cylinder engine in between. The [...]
