Why submit your motorcycle to Bike EXIF?
In a word, exposure. Bike EXIF is by far the most popular and influential custom motorcycle website in the world. We have around three times the audience of any other custom site, and the best bikes from the site are often featured in the Iron & Air print magazine too. Most of today’s most successful builders got their break with a profile on Bike EXIF.

Our followers are passionate, opinionated and educated. They rely on Bike EXIF for a regular fix of the world’s best custom motorcycles. We satisfy those needs through our social media channels, too: Across Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter, we have around three million followers. Our social media links point back to articles on the site—they are not ‘Here today, gone tomorrow.’

What kind of bikes make it onto the site?
High quality customs and classics. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a garage-built machine or one from a ‘professional’ workshop. Our readers like everything from café racers to bobbers to resto-mods. We occasionally profile fine vintage racers too.

There are only two basic rules: no raked-out choppers, and no ‘walkaround’ snaps from a compact camera. We prefer well-lit magazine-style shots taken with a DSLR camera and a reasonably long lens to avoid distortion, as detailed in our guide to motorcycle photography. If your photographer insists on ‘dark’ or artsy shots, send them elsewhere—our readers like to see clear, well-lit details rather than shadows. And we can’t use vertical shots, they need to be horizontal or square.

How to submit your motorcycle.
Just send us a brief email with details and a couple of shots. We get dozens of emails a day, too many to guarantee a reply to, but we read everything we receive and will respond if necessary.

We respect embargos and are happy to ‘sit on’ images for a while before publishing them. If you need us to coordinate with your own publicity channels, we’re happy to work with you. We also credit and link to photographers whenever necessary.

We have a posting schedule and need material a few days before we can run it.

A couple of “watch-outs.”
Please don’t submit your bike to several websites at the same time. If it’s appeared elsewhere, we won’t run it. Our material needs to be fresh as well as high quality.

Please don’t use Facebook messaging or send multiple emails with images. If your bike is accepted, use WeTransfer or DropBox to send us high-resolution shots. We’d love it if you can keep the batch of images under 500MB or so, but please ensure the images are at least 2500 pixels wide.

If you’ve got a beautiful machine sitting in your garage or workshop, and images of equally high quality, please get in touch right now. It’s our mission to spread the word about the world’s best custom motorcycles—and their builders.
