Revel Custom Motorcycles

Based in Twickenham, London, Revel Custom Motorcycles emerged from the 2020 lockdown. While at first glance, that might seem like an unusual origin story. Retrospectively, it’s perfectly logical.

With a career as a creative director for an interior design firm suddenly on hold, founder Andrei Kouznetsov turned to his enduring passion for two wheels. The result is a workshop that brings an interior designer’s eye for aesthetics to custom building without losing sight of practical, real-world functionality.

The design philosophy is straightforward: elegant, functional and affordable. That last word is not often associated with custom motorcycles, but Andrei’s “simplicity-first” approach ensures that unique, personal machines remain accessible.

Revel’s pricing structure reflects this ethos. Full rebuild packages for popular donor bikes like the Honda CBF125 and CBF250 range from £4,650 to £8,450, covering a “nut and bolt” strip-down, sandblasting, powder coating, and a complete transformation of the stance and silhouette.

Beyond these lightweight favourites, the workshop handles larger builds spanning 300cc to 1800cc, with Japanese platforms and BMW K-series bikes among the frequent visitors to the House of Assembly.

The builds tend to be Cafe Racers and Scramblers, characterised by clean lines and a stripped-back aesthetic. Andrei’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the discrete rerouting of electrics under the seat or tank and the careful fabrication of bespoke lighting brackets and sub-frames.

For riders with a vision but in need of a roadmap, Revel offers a formal three-tier design consultancy. This service ranges from a £125 initial pathway for choosing the right donor bike to a £950 full design brief with conceptual imaging. The workshop also offers a top-tier package covering every step of the process, from sourcing the bike to the final decals.

With a five-star review rating, the workshop has built a reputation through transparent pricing, build quality and problem-solving. Clients frequently highlight Andrei’s ability to “rescue” incomplete projects or solve mechanical issues that other garages couldn’t fix.

For riders looking for a builder who treats a commission as a genuine, design-led collaboration rather than just a transaction, Revel Custom Motorcycles offers a quintessential blend of British eccentricity and modern precision.
