Dominant Boxer When BMW first launched their R nineT back in 2014, we knew that it would become an instant hit. The air-cooled boxer is gaining incredible momentum with bikers around the world. The awkwardness of the flat-twin has become the epitome of cool, and it isn’t hard to see why. [...]

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 [...]

Two Wheels South If the name Matias Corea sounds familiar to your ears, it may be because you have heard about his story, or perhaps even read his book “Two Wheels South”. In 2016, Matias travelled 20,000 miles from New York to Ushuaia on his trusty 1983 BMW R80 G/S. This [...]

Faster, lighter & meaner Custom bikes will always at the core of BikeBrewers existence. But almost every custom art piece spawns from something that was produced by a motorcycle manufacturer. We feel it is only right to occasionally highlight new models we consider to be cool enough to be seen among [...]

The last couple of years I’ve seen custom bike shops pop-up everywhere. Some could be classified as one-day flies, but some are definitely here to stay. Toma Customs from Brussels (Belgium) is one of the latter category. He’s delivering bike after bike (also see this and this bike from Toma Customs.)and [...]

Follow my blog with Bloglovin “There’s something brewing in the State of Denmark” Our Viking friends from up North are part of a lively custom community. We got to know the protagonist of this story when he recently launched ‘Aarhus Classic Riders’. With over two hundred members from day one they [...]

Industrial Moto’s first build was a 250 Suzuki cafe racer. It was purchased locally in Virginia by a guy who had never ridden a motorcycle before. Since that time he has completed a motorcycle trip across Vietnam and put many miles on his Suzuki closer to home. When he decided it [...]

I don’t have to explain that the BMW K-series quickly became adopted as one of the most popular base bikes for cafe racer projects. We see a lot of builders, both pro’s and shed builders take their K’s up to speed. In fact, one of the most popular bikes last year [...]

Where the classic airheads are a very popular base bike for building a BMW cafe racer, the search for a used bike became more difficult every day. Prices have risen to astronomical heights so builders with a tight budget had to look for other base bikes. A logic step was to [...]

With a company statement of “Life is too short to ride boring motorcycles”, you’ve made a very clear statement. The guys from Elemental Custom Cycles from Germany eat, breath, and sleep custom motorcycles. With their shop, they aim to build unique, high-quality builds that not only look good but also have [...]

About a year ago I’ve featured this amazing Ducati 900ss built by the Belgium crew of Deep Creek Cycleworks. At that time they were still “all about second chances”, focussing on their passion to turn old bikes back into something rideable and desirable. But with their latest build, they’ve made an [...]

As proud “Dutchmen” it’s always cool to publish a cool story and pictures of a bike that comes from our home ground. And with an ever-growing custom motorcycle scene, the established workshops keep on delivering top-notch work. Regular readers already know that we have some really great pro builders here like [...]

The BMW R nineT is one of those machines that can be put under the famous words “Veni, Vidi, Vici”. Right from the introduction back in 2014, it was clear that BMW aimed at a big piece of the retro bike scene as we know it today. Next to an impressive [...]

A couple of weeks ago I came across a cool picture on Instagram with a cool looking custom BMW K100 and its proud owner/builder standing behind it. I instantly fell in love with the machine and contacted the guy. It was Trevor Ditson and he said that his project wasn’t finished yet. [...]

I really love digital media. It has made life so much easier in many ways. Yes, I am aware of all its downsides too, but let’s stay on the positive side. Finding inspiring builds and creative builders has never been so simple. Just browse Facebook, Twitter, and all other available channels and you [...]

We’re always proud of our ever-growing Dutch custom motorcycle scene. I think Arjan van den Boom with Ironwood Customs is one of the fastest growing shops with worldwide recognition. But we also have another great shop: Nozem Amsterdam. We haven’t heard from them in a while, but if you take a [...]
