I like how you snuck that lovely Triumph in there!

Wasn't the point of a cafe racer to take an 'ordinary' bike and give it a hint of racerishness (change the bars) - rather than take a hooneymagooney fast bike and tweak it?
Even bland can be a type of character

I don't like it, but if you look at pictures of Café Racers from the 1960s they were pretty awful

Doesn't light my fire at all. I'd rather have a Ducati Monster but the Ducati bug never bit me really.

The fairing should be a bit taller. But back end is shite.

Agreed, it looks mismatched which is a shameinewham wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 8:31 pm Its 2 fairings: one of those curvy Avon style cafe racer fairings at the top and then some bent ally sheet at the bottom. Both halves are very different and it looks gash.It would have looked better without the lower part except the engines would be fugly and covered in pipes and doodads.

Not sure I'd want my knees behind a nice stiff sheet of aluminium either.
