No actual ride video and so I'm making an assumption to call this a show bike...a beautiful beast of a show bike that took hard work and a planned vision. Well done. I'd sure like to see it being ridden.  |

The info from the video is great but is there anyway to just loop the audio of the bike? I would have really liked to hear the final gear top end.

Very Impressive! I'm curious as to how much fuel is in that tank and how far it'll go........ I really doubt he's getting the mpg we get with those carbs. But then, it wasn't built to ride long distance. Or, was it? Rams |

Yeah that's a purty thing. I'm not usually a big cafe fan. I sure like this one. |

I'd sure like to see it being ridden. I agree. It seems kind of weird that they would have all that production video, and not have one shot of it on the road. I'm curious about a lot on this bike. Firstly, the Ohlin's on the back. Wonder what they are from. The spoked wheels are cool. But they don't seem stout enough to me. |

Watching the vid, I noticed when the builder is sitting on his beautiful creation, there are only 2 carbs installed and his knee is where the 3rd would be.
She's definitely a work of art.
A great sounding work of art.

Those carbs are one carb with 3 venturies. That’s the way Porsche made them. |

That is kind of cool but it is a show piece. I'm sure it could be ridden but it certainly isn't what people would consider a Cafe Racer. To heavy.
