Bespoke Motorcycles
Clean, elegant design with simplicity at its core.
Jonathan Hull builds high quality, modern classic, custom motorcycles. His builds are based on the key philosophies of the original Café Racer community of the mid 20th century. "If it doesn't make the bike go fast, stop fast or legal, it's gone!" Jonathan's bikes are minimalist in design with distinct classic features while underneath, they utilise the very latest technologies.
Jonathan Hull
Hand Built Motorcycles, crafted in Great Britain.
Established in 2019, Jonathan had discovered a passion for the reimagining of motorcycles. Inspired by the Ton-up Boys and their Café Racer motorcycles of the mid 20th century. Jonathan began researching and learning the key philosophies and skills needed to be able to create his own unique style of motorcycles.
Jonathan builds his motorcycles with one particular philosophy in mind: "If it doesn't make the bike go fast, stop fast or road legal, it's gone!"
Captivated by the simplicity of the early Café Racer machines, Jonathan was keen to keep his bikes as clean and clutter free as possible. However, Jonathan also understands the importance of technological advancements in both the build processes and components. Underneath the classic styling of these machines are ultra modern bikes with full digital, LED, lithium-ion powered electronics.
Jonathan is highly active on Instagram and is passionate about the custom motorcycle community. He documents much of what he does for others to reference if they wish to. Jonathan has followers from all corners of the world and tries, whenever possible, to help others with their own custom projects. Feel free to follow his account and reach out.
