Friday, June 26, 2009 Return of the Cafe Racers breaks the Ton!

100 followers and counting! Thank you for watching my site.

My promise to you all now is to strive to bring you the juciest Cafe Racers and custom motorcycle goodness from all over the globe.

Here's a few to get started...

The first motorcycle design was pretty good, so the years following produced little change. In 1922, a 3 speed gearbox was mounted in the engine of the 616 cc V2. The model had no rear suspension.

Thursday, June 11, 2009 Cafe Racer - POW!

Those are the lowest clip-ons I've ever seen.

Mac Motorcycles Roarer,

After staring at pictures of Mac Motorcycles Roarer, I wanted to give the bike a bit more of a Cafe Racer appearance so with the magic of Photoshop I cut, pasted, blended, skewed and reworked their Roarer in to my very own Mac based Cafe Racer.

Yamaha XS650

Spotted this sweet Yamaha XS650 customised by Loaded Gun Customs on eBay. It's no Cafe Racer but with a couple of aesthetic mods it would easily make the grade. The list of work done on the bike is extensive and the finished bike is impressive to say the least.

Sunday, January 18, 2009 2010 Honda Fury - It's official.

After my post a few days ago the Honda Fury was officially launched in New York. To coincide with this aHonda Fury website has been launched featuring a comprehensive gallery with street photos, studio shots, 360 rotations and videos. You can also read the full specs on the bike and hear it in action.

Megola

The twenties were very interesting times in the development of vehicles, and also of motorcycles. The most important was technical development rather than marketing. One of the most remarkable designs comes from Friz Cockerel, who designed a motorcycle between 1921 and 1925 which has the engine in the front wheel. This was the Megola, of which about 2000 were sold.
