HI ALL,
               Still looking for another project but now fancying doing a cafe racer.
Just looking for ideas, opinions, what is the best cafe racer in other peoples minds, what is the best one you have seen and what made it special.
The other question would be, which model to look out for to use as the doner.  ???
all comments welcome  :)

Hi Paul,

I am in the same boat as you - wanting another project and wondering what to do.

Cafe bikes are very personal and what is one man's delight is another man's distaste so you have to be pretty brave to go this route.

My personal favourite is here: https://straightspeed.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/400-4-01-sm_11.jpg

It has the right combination of shape, tyre size, aggression and chrome in my mind. I personally like the retro styling with a full front mudguard; if I were to change anything on this bike it would be for a more discreet exhaust with an original header set and chrome silencer - but that's only my taste of course.

There is no right answer, just do your own thing!!

Cheers,

Frisky
