Optimistic sellers

So they are about $38 k new. Fuckn weapon and I'll never ride a better bike I'm sure. Until the next time I do and it will be in full power mode instead of running in. Just another experience which you weren't expecting.

Golly gosh fast, but its the suspension and handling that is out of this world.

where does one start? the tool roll thingy under the headlight so that when you use up the static sag sitting on the poor wee thing, that tool roll IS the front suspension?

the fact he wants $3800 for it?

the seat that is half the length of the motorcycle...

its a pearler.

Trying to claim LAMS but he's modified carb and exhaust therefore nullifying that legally,,, if in fact the power to weight ration will still be lams by a mile lol....

The piun strip wheels will sell it lol

I wonder how much weight the titanium exhaust wrap saves?

Check out the exhaust outlet. Can't see the asking price in it.


Thing is I would be happy building a old 80's special - for me. BUT never expect to get or make money on it.

200kph speedo shows even Yamaha was optimistic when they built it.

And yet it 'sits comfortably at 130km/h' - I'd like to see that! It must be the new carb, as standard ones fall somewhat short of that.

Also, watch out for the fork 'gators' - they might bite...

That's not bad looking, it could have done with some wire wheels to give it more of a cafe racer look though (maybe not worth the cost?).

[F5 Dave]

Wtf drugs are you taking? its fideous! Its A new word but I'm sure you can work it out.

That tank is just made for bodywork to interface with it. That stupid seat doesn't cut it. The price is just insane for a badly put together shitter .

[Laava]

Yep, fideous! And horricunt!

I wanted to like it so I could argue with Dave, but there's just no way I can. Everything about that is yuck.

Why would anyone 'cafe racer' a sports bike? The idea was to take standard models and make them look more like sports bike .. this one was there already ..

I thought a cafe racer had to have fuck all power, stripped out to the max and only just reach "the tonne" at full tuck behind the mod in front of you?

These wankers need some history.

Straight from google:

A café racer (/ˈkæf reɪsər/ kaf-ray-sər or less commonly /ˈkæfi ˌreɪsər/ ka-fi-ray-sər) is a light-weight, lightly-powered motorcycle optimized for speed and handling rather than comfort — and optimized for quick rides over short distances.
