Royal Enfield

Mooyong Zeus is the founder, owner, designer, builder and all-round nice guy of Zeus Customs in Bangkok, Thailand. I last met Mooyong during my visit before Covid – so I was mighty curious how he is doing now that the pandemic-storm has subsided a bit.

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 […]

We’ve been reporting a lot on Royal Enfield lately and that’s not a coincidence. The Indian manufacturer has kept the talks around the coffee corner fuelled for quite some time now.

While Northern European countries were being terrorized by the winter storm ‘Eunice’, a group of motorcycle journalists from the Netherlands, Belgium and France were whisking around in the sun and 20° degrees Celsius.

We’re gonna be honest, we are a sucker for lists. More specifically, end-of-the-year-top-5-motorcycle lists! It’s one of those things that we never can seem to get enough of. Whether you’re sitting with your friends or family, or on the workfloor with your colleagues, top 5 lists always add flavour to the […]

Skyrocketed to top position After the crowning of the Meteor 350 to MCN “2021 – Retro Bike of Year”, Ironwood Motorcycles, have launched “The Starship Meteor” – a custom version of the affordable urban cruiser. Earlier this year BikeBrewers had a fun day on this bike when it was introduced. Read […]

  Back in 2020, BikeBrewers were invited to join the first edition of the Café Racer Fest in Kyustendil, Bulgaria. Unfortunately COVID had paralyzed the world and travel restrictions caused us to miss out on that event. We followed the happening on social media while the enthusiasm of participants, visitors and […]

The Meteor has landed The warning had been out there for quite some time, but while everyone was looking towards the sky, a swarm of Meteors came to us from the East. Without causing damage, they landed in the middle of cities, bearing colourful names such as ‘Fireball Yellow’, ‘Stellar Black’ […]

Sailing solo After building more than 150 motorcycles for someone else over the past 15 years, Shaun Walker decided it was time for change. He was dissatisfied with the lack of ‘involvement’ het got from the company he worked for when it came to the subject of building bikes. As far […]

Royal Enfield has an interesting chapter in motorcycle history. But ever since the bike production and license went to India, it never really got a proper grip on the “western market”. And that’s a pitty, because I really love the big, punchy 500cc single engine. The Continental GT is a really […]

A modern cafe racer is the solution for those who can’t/won’t build there own cafe racer or just don’t want to have the maintenance of an old bike. Building your own bike is awesome, but also requires a lot of time, effort, skills, knowledge, space etc. Since the scene for cafe […]

Al tough it’s not a new creation, I can’t keep this for myself: an awesome café racer based on the legendary Royal Enfield Bullet. They call it the “NU Cafe Racer” since it was built for Numero Uno Jeanswear. Built up from the ground with some cool specs like: Custom built frame […]

Beautiful creation of Rajputana, based in Jaipur, India. Very aggressive with a big single cylinder from a Royal Enfield 500.
