I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Dream Machine has to be the longest-running ‘only painting motorcycles’ firm going.
Established around 1977, the company has been based in the Midlands since then and churned out many beautiful bikes. From one-off specials to factory paint jobs for the big UK distributors to replica paint for modern classics, race bikes and everything in between, the guys there have done it all.
Remember the famous Marlboro Yamaha RD500LCs? Dream Machine did those and they’ve worked with manufacturers and importers, such as Triumph, Aprilia, Moto Guzzi, Laverda, BMW, Norton, Honda, Kawasaki and Royal Enfield. Enjoy watching top-level racing? Chances are Dream Machine painted those too as they’ve painted for UK-level teams (think Duckhams Nortons/Ducatis) World Superbike (Castrol Honda) as well as MotoGP and
