There are many different stories regarding how cafe racers came into being, but cafe racers are indisputably one of the first widely customised style of motorcycle. Rockers modified their British iron to reflect their individual style, but more importantly to build themselves a motorcycle that was as agile and as aerodynamic as possible, so that they could flash along twisting leafy country lanes and the newly built arterial motorways at the coveted average speed of 100mph.

So here I was standing off in a corner of the A.M.D. show tent during the media and industry party minding my own business, chilling out a bit, finally getting down to eating some food with a camera, beer and food in hand, all being juggled simultaneously.

Well, the “what” that Kirk was pointing to was the bike you see here, a sharp little bike , with it’s bright white wheels that was jumping off the Astroturf carpeting. Continue Reading →
