    never been a lover of cafe racers, if done right they are not too bad but most look a mess, they strip off the bodywork, change the headlight and seat and ask 5k more, never under stood it, the good news is it keeps the supply of parts going to the enthusiasts.

    Like @raphael , I think there's something mystically appealing about them. I wouldn't sacrifice a good bike, but the ability to pick up high mileage Goldwings at a good price was why I was looking in the first place. Perhaps this might be more inspiring:

    The Krakenhead is a real work of art, the silver bike really appears to not know what it is and looks like a pile of poo to me.
    And the Repsol......nuff said, do I not like orange.

    Gee Mr Kent. That says a lot for my taste:). I think it looks friggin' magic.

    Now I'm going to try and buy it, ride down to Kent, and park out the front of your house!!:cool::D:D

    Christ on a bike @nigelrb I can't believe you've liked that Repsol :eek:
    It's beyond awful and the owner wants flogging :rolleyes:

    Give me a break, @Lozzy .

    A man's trying to broaden his horizons down here. Whilst I often engage in the 'Repsol bantering' I have a strong appreciation for the work that owner has put in to the bike, and for @derchef for bringing this masterpiece of engineering to our attention. It's owners like yourself who venture no further than a standard bike with false Sato street hooks and questionable hugger who have no appreciation of the development of our chosen pursuit/hobby.

    Let us all look outside the square and open our eyes to the future of motorcycling. Here's a glimpse::D:D;)

    Nige, beauty is in the eye of the beholder my man, but your welcome to park it on my drive, looking for a new centre piece flowerpot.
