Cafe Racer = Shite
Cafe Racer = Shite
You really some sh1t given the name "Streetfighter", and now it seems any old hunk of junk can be described as a "Cafe Racer". These two in particular made me laugh/cry:

I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!
Re: Cafe Racer = Shite
Definitely both examples of prime YuK!
To counter that - even though it is probably quite gutless this V-twin has a certain pipe & slippers quality and I wouldn't mind a spin

Agreed Wicky, the odd nice one does come up. Makes me smile when you see them based on Superdreams, Diversions etc

I like the description on this one "not mint by any means" - but why even bother putting USD forks on a H100??

Re: Cafe Racer = Shite
WTF the front tire on that H100 is wider than the skinnier rear

Getting rare It's fookin unique.
I think what that seller is really selling is the forks but offloading all the other crap with them. The funny thing is there is more chance of selling the the forks for a couple of hundred on their own.

Re: Cafe Racer = Shite

Re: Cafe Racer = Shite
you get the verry rare nice one but most just wreck what in some cases were nice bikes and then you get the ones that dont even look safe.

Re: Cafe Racer = Shite
Indeed but we wouldn't expect anything less from our cheekykev. I do like what he's done to that BMW...it's even better than what BMW done LOL Greta colour scheme too, really suits it It kind of reminds me of the Californian Highway Patrol (CHIPS) accept the Grey is not as harsh as Black.
