Cafe racers [pics]

A wee unfinished project i came across on eBay.co.uk a couple of weeks back.
A Cagiva Mito sporting a Yamaha RD350YPVS engine......wasn't that expensive
but needed finishing,was looking good though,i can see where it was heading!

Just thought I'd share. All the way from Vietnam.

great first post

very tasty!!!

Hey saw this on the street in Melbourne while there a few months back ... pity about the rusty zorstpipe!?

That little Honda looks great, well done!



That Melbournian SR500. Wow. Maybe not strictly a cafe, but very, very nice.

Sparky!

I'm still a huge fan of your bike! To me it's one of the cleanest/coolest Airhead cafe bikes on the board.

Now that you've had a chance to (Hopefully!) put some miles on it, hows it working out? Did you ever get the shock working the way you wanted it to?

Looking at your bike keeps making me want to get a set of wire wheels for mine!

Later dude!

That's one very nice looking bike you have there!

Cafe fairing, Ape handlebars and a Banana seat makes for one sweet ride,

I think the rasta colour scheme might provide a clue

That's more than likely in Japan. They love that style, still. There's small gangs of bikes just like that over there.

The placement of the fairing was critical for proper aerodynamics..

You mean it doesn't belong to a rugged individualist? I'm disappointed.

etc etc...

My little RD400C.

I really like this. Nice job.

Just when I thought for sure the bikes were done in the Cal Tech wind tunnel!

Thanks guys!! Actually, the shock was installed the day the frame/swing arm mod was completed and hasn't been touched since. It's surprisingly a pretty comfy ride. I'll probably play with settings more if/when I get the stock front end "refreshed" It's been my main ride this past couple of years so the miles are definitely being logged. Whether its riding to work or day tripping, the fun never wears off of this thing. Weeeeee.

Looks like a cafe racer bred with easy rider and produced this hideous offspring...

This bike is very sharp. Everytime I see it I think of a Wasp!

Calling his ride a Vespa might not go down well.....
