    sorry in terms of a cafe - that is a fat ugly one.
    in fact if a true cafe racer got hold of it - they would rip about half the things off the bike.
    Cafe racers were built fast.....not pretty.
    To me the Manx looks 100 better than this boat.

    Cafe Racers where built to LOOK fast by wannabee racers. Some do look very pretty indeed.

    That Norton doesn't appeal to me either. The tail peice would be the first thing to go.

    Do you want the naked version or the full dress version? But they like to be ridden very hard, they dont like just slow tootles thru the countryside. They like a firm confident hand. Are you up to it?

    I'll give it a shot. I have had a couple of similar models, and whilst high in maintenance are very satisfying to ride.

    I did learn after a particularly nasty incident that you should NEVER, EVER, EVER lend them to your mates. No matter how hard they beg. I got her back all dirty and scratched up.
