Cafe racer motorcycles are featured here, from classic to modern-day bikes.
Here you’ll find everything from classic Triumph cafe racers to the latest Honda, Ducati, Suzuki, Yamaha and Moto Guzzi builds.
Here is a real treat for boxer fans. The first thing that popped into my mind when I saw this build was: “Brave builder”:) As for this kind of “candy” colour tires/frames/wheels it’s a risky business. Whenever You choose to go outside of accepted styling … Read More ›
A classic Cafe Racer build again. I find this little Yamaha – perfect. It’s such a classic and “typical” base to choose. At the same time, the styling and attention to details are so different. I love all the elements. Cork seat, belly pan, front … Read More ›
GSX 1200 Inazuma is a quite poorly recognized muscle bike from Suzuki. I don’t know why is that, to be honest. You have all it takes to make a good retro naked – legendary oil cooled engine, that Suzuki used in many machines… Beautiful design, … Read More ›
Yes, it’s a Honda CX500. Another one… of 1232 Cafe racers built this year based on this small V-twin 🙂 Boooooring… But wait… What is that under the seat? Behind the engine? A Turbo! That’s new… Actually it’s not. As there was a short period … Read More ›
Do You sometimes have this “day” when everything goes wrong? Maybe it’s a week? Or the problems are related to a “machine” of some kind? Old motorcycle maybe? 🙂 Everyone who ever had to do anything with old motorcycles – knows this feeling. I had … Read More ›
As a muscle bike ultimate fan – with time – I find myself to gravitate more and more towards lightweight machines. But as far as big neo-classic bikes fit better the cafe racer vibe – street racing, performance upgrades… Lightweight, on the other hand, should … Read More ›
Yamaha XJR 1300 doesn’t need any special introduction. It’s a legendary muscle bike. My favourite class of motorcycles. It’s a complete and perfect naked machine when it’s stock. But Yamaha is very active to promote customizations of their machines. They have a “Yamaha Yard Build” … Read More ›
The Grand Prix. The bike has it all – unique looks, craftsmanship and… the story. And… it does stand out from the crowd. It was built by Curtis Miller from Ardent Motorcycles in Milford, Michigan as a tribute to Japanese race bikes from 1960’s. But … Read More ›
And we’re back from short vacation. This time it’s something smaller. But it’s to be expected when You’re featuring a build from India. This is where Motokraft Customs is located. And they took on a Kawasaki… actually multiple Kawasaki’s;) And turned them into a Cafe … Read More ›
Norley… If You didn’t already know – is a mix of Norton and Harley motorcycle. In this case – the motorcycle is Norton, and the engine is a 1200 from a Sportster. I think there is some old fashioned vibe to it – Norton is … Read More ›
I like Buells. Because they are different. But not only that it’s the fuel tank in the frame, oil tank in the swing-arm and this big single disc brake in the front. I love the story behind it… As it’s like 1 guy – alone … Read More ›
It’s been a short while since last time the Renard Speed Shop build was featured here (BMW K75). This time, again – it’s a BMW, but the proper… boxer one. BMW R90 series motorcycles… are very popular and You can easily find a ton of builds … Read More ›
Personally – I don’t get the cult surrounding the Yamaha SR 400. Being an amateur bike builder – I never understood the prices of these things. Maybe one day I’ll get that why is it such an important bike, that just recently it got back … Read More ›
Just yesterday I shared on the Facebook profile a movie of a Benelli 750 Sei… I could listen to these six into six exhausts for hours… It’s a beautiful machine with a unique engine and bodywork (and awful looking dashboard)… But Benelli is such a … Read More ›
It’s quite difficult to find an uncommon base that was built with some extraordinary concept. In most casess it’s either a builder trying to work with a motorcycle that is not often modified… trying to keep it in some particular style definition. Or the other way around – You … Read More ›
