The Honda CB750 is one of those machines that’s been done over and over and over again. The “world’s first superbike” just seems to be a safe pick for customization. And that’s no surprise. There are thousands of machines produced the last four decades, they’re reliable, there’s a massive aftermarket for [...]

The Honda CB750 still is one of the most popular bikes for custom projects. It’s a great machine, has lots of power and since the introduction back in 1969 there are thousands and thousands produced. Till date, there is a massive fan base and a huge aftermarket for parts. This bike [...]

The last push I needed to start with BikeBrewers.com two years ago was this amazing Honda CX500 Cafe Racer by Sacha Lakic. I think it would be a great achievement to equal a build like this, and I’ve always have a slight preference over custom CX500’s. The bike you see right [...]

If I say “Switzerland”, you’ll probably think: “chocolate”, “snow top mountains”, “gold” or maybe even “purple cows“. Regular readers and especially custom BMW lovers may think about VTR Customs. Certainly one of the best custom motorcycle shops in Europe. And of course, we definitely love the work of the pro’s, but in the [...]

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 [...]

We all know the usual suspects for building a cafe racer, with the Honda CB-series and BMW R-series as the most popular platforms. Small displacement bikes are usually skipped, but in my opinion, a small bike can also be a great base for building a custom motorcycle. And if we’re talking about [...]

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 [...]

Riding off road really is fun to do and if you’re not that worried about cold and snow, you can have a lot of fun in winters too! Just grab an enduro our MX machine and throw yourself around. Try it! It’s cool (and not only because of the low temperatures). [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Honda CB is and always will be a great base bike for a café racer. Especially the 4 cylinder bikes with the CB750 and CB550 being dominant. Pretty obvious, since these were real sales canons in the 70s, 80s and even 90s. But Honda also produced CB’s with a parallel [...]

This cool BMW RT100, called “Coffee Racer” is built by Georg Trilety from Austria. Georg is a technical illustrator by day and a custom bike builder by night, just like a lot of us here. I always love it when a one-man show finished his creation to show the world. A couple [...]

A few days ago I received an e-mail from Andrew Lake with a project submission. It took me back to one of my first posts here: the CX500 Bratstyle by IWC. And I thought is was worth the share with my readers. The story are Andrew’s own words: I grew up in [...]

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. [...]

Usually when I feature a bike from South America it’s a small sized machine (like this cool Yamaha RD135 cafe racer) but today there’s a real beast from Brazil: a Honda CBX750 Cafe Racer, built by a small workshop called Zucconi Projetos. The first thing that stands out are are the main [...]
