    The price is actually pretty reasonable, but...

    I used to have one of these. I can laugh when it happens to other bikes. Not this time...

    incorrect. They share virtually no parts with the "cooking" model - all the motors were built by HRC and they all have Ti rods and valves becasue they are homologation specials. Every engine was built by a clone of the love child of Soichiro Honda and Pops Yoshimura in an operating theatre.

    And the seat coverings were pre-softened by full bodied virgin Japanese ladies repeatedly rubbing the leather between their oiled thighs.

    The exhaust wrap is Kim Kardashian tampons carefully unraveled by former Samurai geishas soaked in Zero brand Horihito saki aged in captured McArthur Bourbon barrels.

    The leather is made exclusively from kobe beef cattle.

    And the paint has a deep lustrous pearl that has been mixed using the ejaculate of Ron Jeremy.

    And the end result is nothing special anyway...with weak gearboxes.

    Because so many of them have been done very very poorly with the owners expecting too much for their half arse work.

    Dave, the other Dave has one. As per Dave, it has Ohlins and different silencers and tasty Harris footpegs. It is a hoot to ride. When I last rode it the suspension was waaayyy too hard and it hopped and bounced all over the road, when it was softened up a little, it was fantastic.

    Quite slow compared to my R1 of the same period and one is on my list. They weren't very good as a racebike at nationals. I remember Jason McEwen trying to blow one up all the way down the back straight at Manfield cause it was too slow

    Original concept of cafe racers were to improve staid old clunkers that the British motorcycle industry peddled and strip them of weight and make them into a sports motorcycle.

    That concept has been replaced by misguided styling attempts by poser beardies who won't actually ride them because they made a shitter

    When they are done well, yes.

    Unfortunately most of the ones that turn up are badly done or unfinished, often with no wof (but 'will get one no probs') for silly money, so you're paying over the odds to take a punt on someone else's bodging of what was probably a perfectly functional motorcycle.

    If I wanted one I'd build it and ride it, so it seems odd when people are listing something on trademe that they literally just finished building.

    Apparently it's an RC51 if you ask a 'Murrican.
