RACER MOTORCYCLES

Well it seems that the cafe racer bug has gone Global once more and now people are starting to understand the fun building or creating a ride of their own can be.
For three decades i have built these machines and I never get bored of it.
I have made many friends along the way and now, at 46 years old, I still feel like a teenager as soon as I sling my legs over a Cafe racer and tear down the tarmac on it.

Here is my latest creation.

This was Just completed before Christmas 2008 and I have taken it to the International Motorcycle shows held by CYCLEWORLD magazine.

It took some working out but it sure did turn out well.

I put many hours of thought into this as I had actually built the bike in my head 30 years ago after george Barris KOPPA KART in HOT ROD magazine.
This time I wanted to try and capture that feel and add my twist to it.

But what Could I possibly do to make another of my Creations stand out?
Well, for a start I stretched the frame and added an extra 3 degree rake to the headstock, then to sustain alot of power torque from the motor, I gusseted the frame in 4 places by the engine cradle and also I extended the rear of the frame and built a loop for the rear seat to sit snug ontop of.

2 pounds of Copper flake were added to the paint and she glistens like a new pair of dentures.

The Gas tank was an issue having to use 3 stock ones in order to get the curvater to how I wanted it with a 4 inch stretch, but to have the gas tank still have the stock petcock location and gas cap.

But it came out pretty good I must admit.



There is so many modifications on this ride, you have to really look at it. The Super charger, the ARD Magneto.
The Yoshimura exhaust are all rare items too.
I had to run a double chain and sprocket in order to have a safe drive train.

Looks the part too though.
The Motor is a K0 model and completly Blue-Printed and then ported and polished as well.
The frame is a K3 model.

I even Machined the front of the forks.
I am so stoked with the Supercharged Cafe Racer and will keep it as a show piece, but would love for it to go to a shop or Museum to be honest.
Hope you liked the pics?
I made my own speedo guage face too.

This has been a fun build and everyone seems to want to comment on it.
Thanks for looking, remember, keep it fun.

My main website WWW.CB750CAFE.COM shows you what I do all the time.
I will try and get to shows this year and meet some of you cool people. This year Parts Guru " Bear" from the infamous OLD BIKE BARN - is going to commision me to build a cafe Racer using his and my parts combined, we have been around this motorcycle industry about the same time and he is a great guy, too many wankers wanting to grab all the atention, but Bear is like me and enjoys all motorcycling and this year we shall have a Cafe Racer Machine with all the cool stuff on it that you can purchase from him at www.oldbikebarn.com

Thanks for checking the Blog, it's all kinda new to me this stuff but fun learning, especially as I only type with two fingers.

Tron Motorcycle

Who would have thought that Playboy would try to get their geek-on by creating their Tron pictorial? Inspired by the movie, Tron: Legacy, Playboy's Tron pictorial, "Game on" video, and behind the scenes footage of the photo shoot, are an amazing sight and truly phenomenal art work.

It all starts with a rather artistic venture by Hugh Hefner's Playboy team. The renowned magazine and business empire took two of its playmates and turned them into phenomenal Tron-style, high-tech looking masterpieces that impressed me more as a work of art than anything else. The shoot and video definitely don't disappoint fans of Playboy, as well as other fans of art in general.

It's interesting to see how the playmate Irina Voronina and Sasckya Porto, are transformed with the careful application of bodypaint to get them "Tronned up" for the shoot. Also in the photo shoot and video: Playboy's "Game On" features custom-built Tron cycles. Printwork and video aside, one of the most interesting parts of the work are the featured Parker Brothers Choppers Light Cycles, which are replicas of the Tron cycles.

Fifth, if you're in the mood for strange things, then go to Mystery Spot. For nearly six decades, Mystery Spot has been puzzling and wowing visitors with deviations in light movement and gravity, as well as changing visitors' perceptions of space and velocity. Located on a property in Santa Cruz, you can come to Mystery Spot and have a tour of the facilities, where you can get your share of all the mystery that you want.

These are only a few places that you can visit when you drop by Santa Cruz, California. Ask your tour operator and travel agent for more details on what you can do, where you can stay, and how you can get there.

Honda CBF 700 2012, Matic Transmission

LATEST CAR NEWS - Honda ready to hit the market back to the world's great motorcycle, after being designed and tested the Honda CBF 700 2012. Cc motorcycle with this big, will use the automatic transmission.

Honda CBF 700 2012 (Brenda Priddy and Company)

We're doing the test session, a photographer from the Netherlands to get exclusive pictures of the CBF 700. 700cc motorcycle by using parallel twin engine and dual clutch and transmission of VFR1200F.

Pictures of Brenda Priddy & Company which CBF 700 photographs taken in the Alps last week, now undergoing final testing with the Honda Research and Development. Reportedly CBF 700 will be officially presented in November at Milan Motor Show and the newly released to the market in 2012.

Honda tried to develop large motor variants by using a mix of high technology. Honda target leading to a motorist who has long-rending or scooter class that demands ease of use and low operating costs.

CBF 700 2012 entry in the naked bike category, after playing without a fairing. But, has the front to the rear lamp design that does not change.

Prime Test Aprilia RS4 125

Aprilia RS4 125 underwent initial testing at the circuit Vairano, Italy. As a result, riding RS4 125, such as motor gush Superbike.

From a distance, the RS4 looks almost exactly like the RSV4 Superbike, where the style is exactly the motor. But if you look closely, and noticed all the space under the fairing, you will realize this bike is a 125cc four-stroke and single cylinder.

Only, the focus of talks about the Aprilia RS4 125 is about four-stroke engine. This motor is strong enough and the same two-stroke engine ever. But once above 9000 rpm the motor is turned out pretty good.

Circuit can be bypassed with a good motor and good handling. Wrapped with Pirelli Super Corsa SC1s, take turns to be very fun either sharp bend or curve flat.

Prime Test Aprilia RS4 125

Motor manufacturers from Italy has been equipped with Quickshifter system. This technology has never been used Aprilia for variants in the 125 class. Quickshifter serves to accelerate tooth movement and work in accordance with the setting shifting rpm or peak power. With this feature acceleration RS4 125 will be more responsive to the maximum speed chase.

Megan Fox Motorcycle

In the second Transformers movie, Megan decided to be even more badass (or maybe the producers decided so) by riding bikes and also working in bikes shop. And yes boys I also want to be her colleague. In Transformers 2 she rides a perfect begginer class bike and especially girls bike, not too powerfull but still toping out the whooping 170km/h. And the bike is Aprilia RS125 2008. We actually have ridden that model but the Spains replica and we can say it's really good small bike. And it's worth the price which is around $6000 for a new one. It delivers 15hp but I was surprised when I rode it it had 120miles only on it but topped out 100km/h on 4th gear. It is probably the best begginer sport bike and a good model for chicks.
