Brat Style
1340 W Cowles St, Long Beach, CA
Brat Style is a motorcycle shop and custom-build studio at 1340 W Cowles St in Long Beach, run by Go Takamine, the builder credited with originating the vintage-leaning, deliberately unpolished custom motorcycle style that carries the shop's name. Takamine opened the original Brat Style shop in Tokyo in 1998 and established the Long Beach location in 2014, working out of an 8,000-square-foot former machine shop alongside his wife Masumi. The shop is known within the custom-bike world for builds like the Chout, a 1941 Indian Scout fitted with an oversized Chief motor that won Best Indian honors at the Born Free show. Riders interested in cafe racer, tracker, and chopper-adjacent custom work can expect a small, hands-on operation rather than a high-volume dealership.
