I dig that. The kit appeals to the grease monkey in me.
...it just seems wrong to me.
It looks like a nice bike & all, but it kinda fits the me too crowd more than the actual cafe racer crowd. Cafe racers should be custom bikes and no two should look alike. I guess I'm just a purist though...

Not completely unique, but you'd be hard pressed to find two in any one place. I'd do one if I hadn't just dropped a wad on my DRZ build.

Odd looking.. something about that raked front, fat tire and drag bars that screams bobber more than cafe.

I don't necessarily hate em, but I hate folks that advertise on CL their "cafe" racer which looks more like a cruiser or a bobber. Makes those of us looking for genuine cafe bikes have to weed through a lot of trash.

Haha, 3k he is asking for the kit? For that price I will build someone there Vintage 70's bike of their dreams plus the genuine cafe treatment... And as a bonus I will offer a full fairing and tank, think ala Rickman or Dunstall style...
But then again, thats how i roll!!!

Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
Find a bike that works for you and go to town. it doesn't have to be a CB or Bonnie. Usually the more unique bike you can find/turn into a cafe racer the better!

I'm pretty happy with mine! Yeah, I didn't build it, but I love it.
