Café Racer?

founded: 15-06-2008

This is for all fans of classic British, Japanese and other European sportsbikes from 1950's - 1970s.

A café racer, originally pronounced "caff" (as in Kaff) racer, is a type of motorcycle as well as a type of motorcyclist. Both meanings have their roots in the 1960s British counterculture group the Rockers or the Ton up boys, The cafe racer is a motorcycle that has been modified for speed and good handling rather than comfort.

'Cafe racers' bodywork and control layout typically mimicked the style of contemporary Grand Prix roadracers, featuring an elongated fuel tank and small, rearward mounted, humped seat.

A signature trait were low, narrow handlebars that provided more precise control at high speeds and allowed the rider to "tuck in" to lessen wind resistance.

These are referred to as either "clip-ons" (two-piece bars that bolt directly to each fork tube) or "clubmans" (one piece bars that attach to the stock mounting location but drop down and forward). The ergonomics resulting from low bars and the rearward seat often required "rearsets," or rear-set footrests and foot controls, again typical of racing motorcycles of the era.

Distinctive half or full race-style fairings were sometimes mounted to the forks or frame.

The bikes had a raw, utilitarian and stripped-down appearance while the engines were tuned for maximum speed.

When all that is said: Cafe Racers are meant to be driven, long and far, hard and fast, not only to stand in a garage, and ones a year, go for a 5 km drive. Deal with it and drive that shit.
