DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

I get the art arguement, I also get that art is subjective - the simple finances though of a 400cc bike that is worth maybe 1-3k, taking bits off it, and then charging 6-8 k. I don't get it.

Everyone sees something different. Everyone wants something that is theirs and they wont see an identical example parked outside the coffee shop... People still knit - usually it costs more to knit a jersey than it costs to buy one BUT people still like hand made. Same with bikes....
I've built café racers and it was HUGE fun. I've built chopper/bobbers and that was huge fun. I've restored bikes and that's fun too - the conclusion I've reached is any time I've done anything with a motorcycle it was huge fun but - the fun was in the doing. You won't have the same amount of fun as I did from me building up a bike... so you wont ever get it...
Café racers do NOT need a big engine. I'd like a 100cc one for shits and giggles...
Having said that - some people are tasteless morons whether it be knitting or motorcycles.... Chopping up a perfectly good bike that's managed to survive intact for 30 years to make a café racer - yeah not so cool... Taking a pile of pooh and making it useful... sweet...

Factory bikes other than BSA DBD Gold Stars cannot be café racers... its an ancient charter or a law or something... At best they can be café styled bikes...Honda GB's

The addition of Dunstall clip ons and rear sets made my RD400 into a cafe racer.
The application of far too much throttle made it into a grenade.
I miss that bike...

Naaa ... that's just bullshit ... a chopped up bike is still a chopped up bike ... and often worth less than the standard version ...
And "cafe racers" may well have been thrashed (that was the point after all ...)

One of the more appealing class of bikes, just quietly.
