Re: Classic Cafe Racer - Am I nuts or what?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but they are using an overstretched development of an engine that was already pushed beyond its design spec nearly 40 years ago - and was unreliable as a result. The old Commandos I've ridden have been awful enginewise, which is why Nortons had their engines ripped out and Triumph ones (which are also crap by anyone's standards) fitted to make Tritons - so what makes this development any better?
It looks great, but I wouldn't touch one with a barge-pole
