Apologies (or perhaps not) if this guy is a member of this forum but can you really label a bike that has been stripped naked as a cafe racer!

£1800
Obviously he feels that less is more
Doubt any one else will see it that way.

I saw that , and apart from a half decent exhaust and off the shelf tail unit it looks like a crashed bike.
If they'd tidied up the tank then it might look acceptable.

Just the right place for the oil cooler to get a stone through it - well thought out. I have to say it looks bloody 'orrible which will be why those nice people at BMW put a nice (if somewhat odd looking) fairing over it.

What welding? I had a look to see if the lugs were re-welded, but they don't appear to be?

If I paid £50 for any of that welding (not even sure the slag has been cleaned up!)' I would be disappointed...as for the exhaust! I don't like to rant & rave but really the effort vs price just don't add up![/list]

Kinda reminds me of "the kings clothes" except change " the king is in the all together" for "what a pile of shit that looks"
Just saying
