Taverner Motorsports, the motorcycle restoration expert in Brisbane has a passion for restoring motorcycles to their former glory.

We are aware the importance of preserving the unique characteristics and history of each motorcycle, whether it’s a rare antique or a beloved family heirloom.

One of the key aspects of motorcycle restoration is the mechanical work. The team at Taverner Motorsports can undertake a wide range of mechanical services, from simple repairs to full engine rebuilds. We have experience working on a variety of motorcycle models and brands, and can source hard-to-find parts and components to ensure an authentic restoration. Additionally, we can also provide guidance on maintenance and care to keep the motorcycle in top condition for years to come.

We also offer cosmetic restoration services to bring the motorcycle’s appearance back to its original state. This includes paintwork, upholstery, and polishing of chrome and other metal surfaces. Our team pays attention to even the smallest details to ensure the final result is a true reflection of the motorcycle’s original beauty.
For those looking to undertake a more extensive restoration, Taverner Motorsports can provide a full nut-and-bolt rebuild service. This involves completely disassembling the motorcycle, refurbishing or replacing every component/part, and reassembling it to a concourse showroom condition.

This level of restoration requires a meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to authenticity, and our team has both.
 
Whatever level of restoration is required, minor or major, we are confident in our ability to assist. We take pride in our work and ensure that each restored motorcycle is a testament to our dedication and expertise. Contact us today to discuss your motorcycle restoration needs.

Bike Restoration

NORMAN B4

The Norman B4, one of only two in Australia, was one of our most challenging resto’s in recent times. We were tasked with the job after another business had been unable to complete the rebuild so the bike came to us primarily in boxes having been disassembled by the previous workshop. This made our job a little harder in the beginning as their process was quite different to ours so we had our work cut out for us in getting the build back on track.

1975 HONDA CB250

This bike was a very mild restoration, mainly concentrating on the serviceable items of the bike, tyres, chains, oils, battery. Once we had the bike running and back to a high standard we focused on the cosmetics of the bike.

Hornet BSA

This restoration was a second build for the customer, the first we completed in 1983 (Paul undertook that one – Joe was too young to be apart of that in the 80’s) which was an A65 BSA, very similar to this resto, but this is the competition version with the close ratio gearbox and high lift cam set, among other things.

Suzuki A100

The Taverner family has built and restored countless custom motorcycles in Brisbane over the last 50+ years of our trade. The love of motorcycles and connections they have given us to family and friends is hard to explain. This motorcycle, the mighty Suzuki A100, with its record-breaking 9.5Hp, is a true example of this passion being handed down from one generation to the next.

The bike originally belonged to our client’s father when he rode it as a commuter, but as the years went on and each of his three sons learned to ride, they each had a hand in riding and maintaining the little Suzuki A100. Throughout the years, the bike remained in the family and undoubtedly held more value to them than anyone realised.
