This one wasn't actually destined to be todays bike, but it's got a lot of little things about it that i thought made it worthy of throwing in for discussion.

Re: Kando – Cafe Racer SSpirit XSR700
That is not a cafe racer, 'tis an abortion
Look, the rules are simple
Cafe racers have twin shocks
Single seat humps should at least look aerodynamic
And that swing arm is waaaay too long, at least visually.

Re: Kando – Cafe Racer SSpirit XSR700
I don't get how anyone into bikes builds these things then stands back and thinks he's done a good job.
I've said it lots before but they're done as art projects, not motorcycles.

I like the cooling fins on the motor, I assume they're stuck on?

I don't like the wheels and the seat hump is too boxy, apart from that I like it, especially the cooling fins.
