About Brixton Motorcycles…

No Brixton Motorcycle is the same. Okay, they are when they come off the production line. At this point, in fact, they are identical. Identically designed, specs & finished to the highest engineering standards. Identically distributed, marketed and sold. It’s our riders that make each Brixton unique. The decisions they make. The path they choose. The lives they live. Where to go with their Brixton. What direction to take. Who to ride along with. Now, before you know it, it’s not the same bike anymore. Now it’s truly a Brixton. As individual as the people who ride them.
