"You never see a motorbike in front of a psychiatry office" - I like that.
unless its court ordered XD
"Psychiatrist's office"
Ratty RatStuff Ha ha
Yep. The low hits, so I ride the country roads of Dorset. Cheaper than therapy
me, a psychiatrist that drives a motorbike to work would disagree.
Drugs and drinking ? No. Not at all. The 'ton up boys' only drank coffee. In the 60's leather jacket and motorcycles were not welcome in pubs. So they would hang around in cafes. . . . . hence the name "cafe racer".
None of this US stuff good old british bikes good old british cafes
Yea, i know! "as fast as their lives were" it was just good legal fun..... I don't think they know how it really was, mixing mods with rockers...!
Good to hear, have a cafe racer myself and now I feel more connected because I dont do drugs I do coffee :P
hmmm. I would have raided the fuck out of the pub with my leather-jacket-dressed motorcycle crew for not welcoming us. Motherfucking pricks
T0BBi94 sorry to tell you bro.. Coffee is a drug lol
bikes are just one of the best inventions on the history of the planet earth
shit head
+Finn Chverch is there something wrong with you mother young man I am sure your real father doesn't give a shit probably because of your 12 years of existence
NOPE, Not the Bikes, but Wheels. :P
The greatest invention was the wheel. 2nd greatest was ice cream
I aggred with u man also l think still apocalypt future the bike will be more important transportation way
I’m 52 and just started riding about 6 months ago. The one guy said it so true, ‘you have to ride a bike to know what it’s about.’ No one can tell you and it’s not gonna be for everyone. But if you got on that bike and now you can’t imagine life without it........well that’s it, right there, that’s riding!
that's pretty much it. Mainlining freedom.
I'm 17 and always drea.ed of riding now that I am riding have 2 bikes, I'm currently building a cafe racer it's an amazing feeling
my dad was one of the originals back in the mid 50s to the mid 60s he used to build bikes for other people
as well as his own i grew up with British bikes . we lost my dad in 1979 he was on his way home after a late shift
he was hit by a drunk driver early hours of the morning after all the bike he rode the day he died he was on a 90cc step thru
i still miss my dad so much if he was alive today he would be in his 70s he would still be riding a British bike
+subseatiger So what? You missed the point.
Andy Coakes carry on the tradition my friend get a trumpet
Andy & amandas art dogs & V logs m
Thanks for sharing, sorry about your dad ....ignore the morons and their comments
Sorry to here this about your dad xxxden
definantly not a good thing to watch while waiting for parts....
Hahahahha dat feel
This is generally a load of bollocks.
That whole "racing while the record played" - bullshit.
And that guy who alludes to taking drugs and partying - also bullshit, for the most part, tonups didn't take drugs (no money for one thing) and didn't go to (or got thrown out of) pubs.
Transport cafes were cheap, roomy meeting places with a parking lot. Somewhere to meet your mates, not spend a lot of money you didn't have to spend, and with space to park your bike. Simple!
Watch (or read) "Up the Junction" or "Some People" to get an idea of how gritty and impoverished things really were in those days. FWIW I am old enough to remember, and I still have a Triumph 650 in the garage.
im more of a Bobber type a guy, but do respect this fuckers!
I was a 20 years old when I first discovered the café racer world and I knew that was going to be a part of my life now 5 years later I got my first motorcycle and I couldn't be happier.

For those looking for the songs playing in the video, They're "Esmae", "Outta my mind", "Sheila", all of them by The Black Tibetans :)

Thanks for the heads up with songs to avoid :)
Cool. I was trying to find out who it was.
0:13 side stand down, hope he's okay

*tapping at the shoulder* We all did that at some point in life my friend ^^
Motor Trend please separate your Channels so it's easier to find and enjoy The Downshift and Ignition etc ?? !!
The Aussie guy from Deus is talking bollox, they didn't do drugs and alcohol, it was tea and coffee and Coca-Cola as they were hanging out at Roadside Cafés, the British equivalent of a Truck Stop / Diner !!!
Sale_Shark i
buy a heap of an old bike... Do it up, customise it, make it your own and don't give a toss what other people think... Its yours and an extension of your personality.. Its about the culture of the ton up boys not what bike it is or what you look like.. Its about getting the most power and handling out of a machine.... I think people look into things to much
. Ps.... Its all about lane splitting... I feel sorry for most of you in the US... Stupid fookin laws
doin this with 1984 iiron head, ive fallen in love with her
Most Americans who drive cars could not stand seeing motorbikes lane-splitting. They would get angry because we are moving, and they are not. Especially certain citizens of certain states. Maryland-ers would lose their minds. Floridians and the tourists already cannot drive, so it would be way dangerous down there.
However, Commiefornia legalised lane-splitting a handful of years ago. That is the only place it was has been accepted as folks with good weather all year 'round see bikes everywhere and know that air-cooled have to keep going and cannot sit in the traffic jams that snag their interstates for hours on end.
In the United States, they will literally give anyone a license and it has been that way for decades. Plus, nowadays most folks (unfortunately) are lazy and drive automatics. Boring, too. Stupid laws? No, more like Driving While Stupid.
Thank goodness for motorcycles and all the beautiful brands and dealerships we have in the U.S. Not to mention, beautiful scenery from sea to shining sea. Vast. Immense. Incredible. Diverse. Hope you get to ride a bike cross-country sometime.
I'm a 66 year old Watford boy, our Cafe was the Busy Bee on the A41 not a long ride from the Ace, guess what, I still have my Triton.
sticking some clip ons on an old stock shitty Honda does not make a café racer. Why does everything that was once great get diluted down to this level these days is a disgrace. Weekend warrior "bikers" are the worst violators
just started building one from a honda cm 125 i found in a dump, horrible condition, no documents. Deep shit awaits ahead of me.
did you accomplish it?
Ted Winchester now what
How's it going?
In the 1960’s I watched the ton-up boys race from Johnson’s Café on the A20 in Kent - they raced from the café, past Brands Hatch race track and down Death Hill to the roundabout at the bottom and back up the hill to the café. There were BSA Gold Stars, Rocket Gold Stars Triumph Bonnevilles and even a Vincent. The sounds were fantastic. Some riders didn’t bother with helmets; just a leather jacket, jeans and shades for eye protection. I was too young to join in then, but it’s amazing to see that the British café racer style and culture has spread worldwide over 50 years on - Great Stuff!
The true spirit of the original cafe racers is embodied far more by the working class guys riding modern streetfighters & tricked up sports bikes than by the middle class hipsters of the current 'scene'
Thats not me hating hipsters, just a statement of fact. The only guys I've ever met at a proper greasy spoon cafe to go tearing up the countryside at twice the speed limit were all the former, not the latter
I love those 'trendy' cafe racers/brat style Rob, 'and' I was born on a council estate. Let's not let the middle class hipsters have all the stylish fun!
+Mr C I like some of the bikes I just dont like the pretence they are carrying on a tradition, when in fact they are just aping a style.
When you look at the whole new skool bike scene there's a lot off elitist aestheticism that is totally at odds with what the original cafe racers were about & I just don't buy into it all - nothing wrong with the bikes.
Exactly
Many of these hipsters buy their machines off the peg and bolt stuff on.
Well I hate hipsters. What a bunch of posers they are
Nowadays... Cafe Racer and all "tribes" are 5% true enthusiasts and 95% POSERS who wants to wear long beards, open helmets and look like rebels. Most of them spends on the barber the value of a Vespa per month. And rides 100.000$ custom bikes... yeah... the true spirit of a Cafe Racer.
Made the mistake of watching 5 more minutes of this..George Barris and his customization in the 40s and 50s? Try 60s and 70s.
Cafe Racing was invented by English 60's youth ... the Motorways had layby Cafe's ... the anecdote at the beginning is stolen from what English kids did - the money was in Pounds not Dollars. Let's keep the History straight folks ... my Great Uncle died as a pillion on the back of a Cafe Bike in early 60's London.
They race from one Cafe to another fast as they can because of the uncomfortable riding position negates long excursions.
What a load of nonsense this video is. People riding off with stands down, that timeless lie about racing before a record finished, claiming ton ups drank and did drugs, and that English bloke claiming as a teenager him and his mates "used to ride from one end of the UK to the other". Course you did.
This just smacks of rich Venice chaps buying into a scene with a $40k bike bought from a moustached Deus Ex designer.
It's all getting a bit sad now.
If they rode from one end of England to the other they must have done it on a Japanese bike cos a British bike won't make it it would brake down every 10 miles all just blow up
Vintage British bikes, like dating a cheerleader........more maintenance.
@@pauliebots spot on mate!
Speaking of "loads" what's that in your chin? I suppose you're the know all expert that fell off a bike once, or has one in his garage that's 5 years old with 200 miles on it. The history is what it is. Unless you are somehow omnipresent and know what everyone has ever done, which I doubt is the case.
Jason Peters My mate rode from South East London to Dunbar in Scotland on a 50cc Vespa scooter, TWO UP!!!
Today's cafe racers are pretending to be the cafe racers of the 70s.
That alone makes them phonies.
A moder cafe racer would take an old Japanese sportbike and try and get as much performance from it as they could. That would be the most economical and fastest way to get some performance for your bucks.
I came across Deus some years ago and loved the bikes. While working in L.A. I one day drove past the store in L.A. and had to take a look. Pulled up into the parking lot expecting a motorcycle shop, smell of grease and oil and motorcycles that are being built. The joy of finding this place by chance was short lived. First thing I can see is a large table at witch a bunch of people are sitting. All men and all looked like they came out of the same mold. Big beard long hair tied to a bun, all staring at the screen of a macbook and most probably drinking non fat, decaf, extra foam latte with a triple shot. I doubt that any of them actually have or ride a Bike. The shop is a boutique for all sorts of clothes and hipster wear. Two or three bikes that are pure props for the merchandise and lifestyle bullocks, are placed in the showroom. All walls are covered in shelves filled with wearables and so are the tables in the middle of the room. : ( The actual bikeshop is added on to the rear end of the building and does not look like it is the main theme of at least this store. I am a petrolhead and love motorcycles and building them, but this was a monster of a disappointment.
My hat comes of for the marketing of this brand, that successfully latched on to the motorbike world of custom build motos to sell s*!t that none of us riders need. Well done deus, but nothing worth looking at if you are really interested in their really nice builds, that no doubt Deus dose build somewhere.
Fazit: Love the bikes you build, but will not visit a store again. I think they even had avocado toast on the menu.
Anyone notice the guy going out with his sidestand down? 0:15
Not until you mentioned it !. Dangerous that. Left turn OOH! dear me. Now where is my 59 T110 with E3134`s etc. ?. Remember the white lettering at the ACE CAFE ?. The Canal behind and the 59 club ?. Is it still there ?. The best days of this planets existence. Pure Halcyon times.
Cafe racers - Just another great thing we Brits gave to the World. And which Americans have taken to their hearts.
Another great time was 1991-1995 .early rave days.
cafe racers are the scourge of the motorcycle world
@@crobulari2328 It's still there, catering to the hipsters. The only Halcyon times now are my goggles, which are still as useful as they were back in the day.
This was a really good watch. I just bought a vintage "72 Honda CL350 and I'm tearing into it. Really fun project, and I can't wait to ride it. It was made the same year I was born. My first street bike.
They met at Cafes not raced between Cafes - the ultimate would prob be a Triton - with parts from Dunstall or Dresden - a Triumph Bonnie engine in a Slim Line Norton Featherbed Frame - Vent 2 or 4 leading shoe brake - Chrome Headlight - Clip ons - Aoloy tank- rear sets - single seat
+Trev S build it
EJtoch Nah we have an MZ Skorpion
+Trev S Correct Trev, how could they win a bet if they ended up at a completely different cafe from the one they'd put the record on the jukebox at. Indeed they raced to the nearest (traffic) roundabout so they could maintain the speed and get back before the record finished.....and rock & roll records where very short in those days.
mcgeechan6600 We knew our Grandpa would know this stuff
+Trev S Don't forget the Rickman Matisse 750 head
Cool machines, but there is nothing "over-engineered" in today's sport bikes. Everything that it's there has a purpose, either being faster, easier, or safer. And if you take a modern bike and "go cafe" with her, you'll probably just make her slower.
haha this is too true tbh
Back in the day, the available sport bikes were rare and expensive. You built sport bikes out of standard, available bikes. Performance came from removing heavy bits, shaving many pounds. Engines were warmed up, suspensions tuned, rearsets and low handlebars installed. That was the essence of the cafe racer. A modern sportbike's performance is beyond the ability of most riders and even beyond the capabilities of many roadrace bikes of the 60's and 70's. These new cafe bikes are styling exercises. They can't begin to compete with the performance of a modern showroom stock sportbike. There are riders that can really go on their cafe bikes, however.
cafe racer is all about improving the speed and handling
@@phlodel At the time, it was all about improving speed and handling, but by the time the '80's rolled around, the stock factory bikes were faster and handled just as well. The only problem with the stock '80's bikes, was that they were bland and you needed a track to use them to their full potential.
There is something about riding a bike flat out, than on 3/4 throttle, and a sixties to seventies café racer is something you can still use all of it's performance, while wishing you had just a little more.
@@carljones8334 Gotta admit, it's cool to unscrew the throttle to the stop and kick a few gears. I don't want to go back to spending hours and hours modifying my bikes. I like to ride, not tinker. So I ride less than the top sport bikes. My current bike is a KTM 690 Duke.
I thought cafe racing was getting your skinny jeans, leather jacket and cruising on down to your local cafe so you can buy overpriced coffee.
no...a cheap cup of tea and bacon butty (bacon sandwich) ;)
bacon sandwich and motorcycles !!! sign me up
i totally agree, i've only just turned 17 and got onto the road but i been following the cafe racer scene since i was 10 and i'm building my own at the moment! its not about where your from or what year the whole point of a cafe racer was to show theres no limits and enjoy the freedom of the open road
you're 27 now! wow

ROYAL ENFIELD fans hit like
"Made Like A Gun"
@@gerry95 Back in the day it was. "Royal Enfield. Built like a gun...goes bang and kills yer."
@@iangrimshaw1 Love the Lee-Enfield Mk III
Why is an American being asked about café racers, the British rockers invented it.
That isn't cafe racing at all!
The term originated among British motorcycle
enthusiasts of the early 1960s in London, specifically within the Rocker or "Ton-Up Boys" youth subculture, where the bikes were used for short, quick rides between popular cafés, in Watford at the Busy Bee café, and the Ace Café in Stonebridge, London.
We used to hang out at the Busy Bee they were great days one lad rode his bike in to the cafe gave it a real fist full Fun times We rode to the Ace and used to Frizz be plates at the Modes.
We were told in 99% of pubs no bikers .We one time after a land lord told us to clear off went back in our Sunday best there where over twenty of us ordered a bar full of beer there it was all glassed up we said do you serve bikers he said no their scum and oil up my yard We said we are bikers so we better leave.
Well I’m sorry to disappoint with my tale as my heyday or rather my start biking days were 1965 I’m still biking but looking back apart from my mates who I miss I’ve no hankering to go back to unreliable badly braking oozing oil ( well apart from my Vellocette venom) 60’s bikes mind you after riding a few bmw 1200 tractors I don’t rate them either. My favourite from yesteryear was a Honda Benly or my third bike after ditching my unreliable Norton 650 ss ( I never understood what ss stood for) was a Moto Morini. The only thing I hanker for from that era was my red racing leathers not that I did any of that secondly my old kangol crash helmet with Yogi bear and boo boo on it. I know I’m a sad old guy with prostate cancer but heck I can laugh at myself
and when hungry this people will race to reach cafe immediately.. lol.. wtf hungry stomach + bike
ur comment doesn't make sense
What do you mean-
"Not available in MY COUNTRY. " WHY THE FUCK NOT? Is this CENSORSHIP? We have freedom of speech in USA
This literally explained how I feel about my bike even though life force me to live in my van for a little while I’m not giving up on my bike it’s my hope
Gonna buy me a RE continental GT. Gonna take it on all my favourite twisties! It's gonna be a blast!
Did you got it, mate?
Cafe Racers should be modified by the owner, not getting a custom company to make a cafe style bike then picking it up when it is finished.
ApriliaRSV4F well what if a custom company modifies the bike according to the owner's preference? Does it count?
@@DarkAristocrat what he's trying to say is that if you yourself didn't put any elbow grease into your bike, than it's not a cafe. Which makes sense. I see the argument. Back then you couldn't just take your bike to a shop and have it finished in a week. Mainly because most cafe owners couldn't afford such luxury's, not that that's a bad thing, it's just the way things were. Now today some people just appreciate the general style of a cafe racer however they lack the technical know how or tools too do it themselves. Or let's face it, they're lazy. Modern amenities spoil everything. That's why when I pick up my 1978 Honda cb 750f (hopefully tomorrow) I'll try my best to do the majority of the work myself, even though I seldomly touch a wrench.
ugh..a few years ago before this all became such a hipster poser trend I was excited by companies like Deus, and that this style of bike was making a come back. But like everything that becomes mainstream it has lost my respect. There's so much BS marketing in programs like this it's a total turn off, retro beards and fist bumps, gourmet coffee and that tool with goggles on his helmet while wearing sunglasses..Fuuuuck get me outta here!
I used to have this idea that you should like whatever you like. who cares what others think, who cares if it's hipsterish or mainstream, all that matters is you enjoy it. there comes a point though, where a certain image is paired with a certain view, in this case you got it spot on, and I really wish you were wrong.
Well despite my cynical opinion, I'm very happy that motorcycles are so popular now. The fact is that regardless of the painfully lame mainstream marketing, I'm sure most people who get into riding will stay in once the trend dies out.
0:16, one the cool cafe dudes is riding with his kickstand down
Yeah,back just before the Japanese bikes hit the market I was riding European and/or English machines.The "cafe" bikes were pretty much any bike you lightened up and added a bit of horsepower to.Man,we had a ball with those things!I still have my old Commando and give a ride once in a while,and it's still fun even after the years have passed.I'm not getting any younger and either is that bike but neither of us is dead yet so ....
I'd love to HEAR the bikes and not that crap music!
IKR
Great video! Cafe racer culture is so cool! I can’t wait to finish my Honda CB650 brat cafe build!
“Riding a bike, you have to do it to know what it is”
Love the look of café bikes, but damn, those low bars gotta be hard on the arms and wrists!
gwwayner precisely what i have imagined, very uncomfortable when you drive 2 hours straight
gwwayner and your back too
+gwwayner Hey man! Could you help me by letting me know the motorbike model from minute 1:45 to 1:49? Thanks so much!
if you put your passion on cafe racers, you can ride that like forever with no problems
Not necessarily...
I've ridden a Guzzi Le Mans, a colourful factory cafe with the cafe handlebars, from Southern Spain to Belgium and back several times. Or gone from Seville to Barcelona in one straight on a 250 Bultaco Metralla that I used to road-race.
I saw this video when they first uploaded it. And now a month later I'm buying my first motet cycle and it's a cafe bike :) I can honestly say, I contribute 90% of my reasoning of buying that bike, on this video :) its a 1979 Honda cx500 :) very custom :)
It’s been 9 years. Are you still riding?
The cx500 engine looks great in a caff racer.
I had a Kawasaki Mach 3, 3 cylinder two stroke back in the day. Crazy fast with a light blue cloud of exhaust... no engine compression braking, just freewheeling with the 2 stroke....touch of 2 stroke oil on my leathers.
When I ride, I'm at Peace!
Wow 7 years ago. Still riding?
Rest in peace
That’s what she said
The driving scene is so dynamic that the video is so good. Thank you. Subscribe. From South Korean RUclipsr Woongkham.👍👍👍
My dad and my uncles were cafe racers back in the 60's I hope one day I'll be able to join that tradition ☺
Did you make it?
@@heroicpadde unfortunately not not enough time or money
@@daviddelano-oakes1082 sorry to hear that :/
Hope you make it 🤘
19, finally free from compulsory education, about to start my gap year... started learning how to ride last Thursday and am now saving up for my first bike... CANT FUCKING WAIT TO GET ON THE ROAD
Hey buddy, yeah you with the sparkle helmet, you got your handlebars on upside down! .......27 guys turn around.........
I currently riding a 2014 Cafe/Bobber style Iron 883. I am definitely going to get another cafe modified to my liking, I just love the vibe and style of Cafe Racing.
00:12 foolish noob with his kickstand down...
hipsters don´t live long on bikes
As a cafe racer I like BMW the most cause of the boxer motor. Looks so cool :)
Dsammit! It's pronounced KAFF not Cafey. Poncey office boys go to café's Truckers and mean bikers go to Cafe's with out the accent
Are you American by any chance????
No English and I used to go to transport cafes on my bike(A 1961 Matchless 650)
Costa is a Café, the Ace in London is a Cafe.
I still ride a bike and visit cafes and tea huts but these days it is on a Hayabusa.
Cheers;)
So, no comment I see, are you American by any chance?
Oh, and the English guy who pronounces it Cafey hayhay, is not old enough to remember the original British bike cafe culture.
Nahhh! To much American influence
The guy who rides off on his Triumph at the beginning with his side stand down is just looking for trouble, but he's probably a hipster more than a biker.
The true spirit of the original cafe racers is embodied far more by the working class guys riding modern streetfighters & tricked up sports bikes than by the middle class hipsters of the current 'scene'
Thats not me hating hipsters, just a statement of fact. The only guys I've ever met at a proper greasy spoon cafe to go tearing up the countryside at twice the speed limit were all the former, not the latter
Questions from a noob:
1] What is the "current scene"?
2] Who are hipsters and what are their characteristics?
3] Working class guys ride what bikes exactly?
4] Are you talking about England?
+Spawndon nice trollin
Rob W No I'm not. I belong to different country, and love motorcycles. Don't have one though.
Christ all mighty learn to use the focus on your camera! It ain't artsy it is annoying.
Loved the video. Love even more the vintage cafe racers
I have a custom electric Cafe Racer even tho it ain't gas and can't top 80kph still has a charm and where i live 32kph is the legal limit for electric bikes so in away i'm a new generation rebel in the E-bike community
Great video, keep the passion alive! You don't have to be a Rocker/Greaser and love Rockabilly/50s Rock'n'Roll to ride a café racer bike.
Yes you absolutely right, I’m a bikers forever , much better feeling, they never know because they never be one of us , good day guys ❤️🙏🇹🇭🇬🇧
I dont buy expensive car cause when I sit on a car I can only see interior. But I can still see the beauty of the bike while sitting on the bike
wtf lol
if thats the only reason....drive downtown and watch your expensive car in the store windows......
Didn't need to modify my Goldie...and what are yanks doing trying to explain UK rockers...unbelievable!
0:15 side stands is down... Hope you make it back Racer!
+1 for the the Bikes, -1 for the people on said Bikes. It's a frickin' mid-life crisis convention.
Seriously, if you edited all the people talking out of this video, it would be twice as good.
Hammer Video!!
Bin selber großer Fan der Café Racer Reihe!!!
Macht weiter so !!!!!
Gruß Manu !
What a shame Motortrend doesn’t have more motorcycle programs on their channel. At least you still have the Isle of Man races.
Hung Huy1 month ago
which type of motorcycle at 5:42 , pleazzz ? thanks guys
: Looks like a 70s Honda 500/4 engine
similar to the Cafe Scorpio on DeusCustoms website
It's either a 500/4 or 550/4 the end caps on the camshaft show that so 70's for sure.
My Dad rode (with my mom) through Austria after WWII (around 1949-52) on a BSA 250 armybike with fixed rear axle-no suspension). We still have some inch sized tools(wrenches) from that time (we use cm here). ;-)
Cafe,cafe, cafe at the cafe then back to the cafe for more cafe.
the amrican idea of british cafe racers is abslute bollocks i was there johnsons,chelsea bridge,nightingale and the saltbox.
"chicks dig it"
well, maybe where he lives, but over here they would look at you like "what peace a crap you're still riding on?
it's neat, but I dont see me riding them
well, its good we all have different tastes, right?
cheers
Real bikers wear boots beginners wear tennis shoes be careful don't rip your foot off common Sense isn't that common anymore
i'd die happy if i have one classic bike like those
aldrin cydriex luna buy honda cb series, and costumize it. not expensive as it looks
Cafe racers are better when they are British sound and nostalgia map just don't look right sorry
dont forget that cafra are from England not Japan ....
Oh yes 👍
KAFF racing. This is a london expression...NOT café!!!!!!
Get it right!
ten days.... and i will ride again!!!! From Italy! Ducati maniac!
From England, a Guzzi maniac, who knows what you're talking about.
A lot of Honda CX500's - like mine - have been converted. But generally, old Brit bikes, or early Honda inline 4's are good. The classic is probably the Honda CB750.
so wheres the vintage cafe racers
Are you ok
These are hipsters, remember?
16 seconds in a some 'cafe racer' rides off with his side stand down, this lot are about as much cafe racer as I'm a millionaire
Hi.. i need information about the red honda in 0:11-0:15 minute.. but this honda.
thanks
They make them now with a side stand that you can put up before you pull away :o)
Looks to me to be a Honda cb250, correct me if I'm wrong
Looks like a CB450 to me.
When you try to be original but everyone is riding the same bike lol
Can't decide if I want a cafe racer or a supermoto
Why?
Why not both?
This is lame to me lol.....if you really wanted to go fast you would buy a new sportbike. Instead you just want to LOOK like the guys who actually wanted to go fast.
These guys seem to be more in love with the image than actual riding.
They always mispronounce the Cafe part, Itw as Caf the e was silent because it started in London
Why does my lower back hurt while watching this?
Have ridden a few bikes with Clip on Handlebars......Very uncomfortable and makes rear View restricted.
a lot of 60's Bikes were low on Power(First Bonnevilles had a mere 45 BHP)
I love cafe racer bike❤️❤️❤️ its my dream bike, I wish I could afford it now😢
feelin that bro i love some from almost all categories and wish i had one of each....go figure a biker that loves....bikes. Spect bro
Hola muy buen video! Si te gustan las motos te invito a ver nuestra serie VIEJAS MOTOS por Amazon Prime Video. @t
Sad, depressing, misinformed, stuff...lose the crap heavy metal soundtrack as well.
That's not heavy metal. It's all I would agree rather romanticised and as with all things as people in the USA have taken it to their own they've also skewed things to fit their own view of things. Most people do that.
Come to me to see the motorcycles of the Soviet Union!
0:15 you forgot to kick up ur kickstand dude!!
I saw that too 👊
I'm japanese highschool student's
I ride GB250 CLUBMAN now !
