Take a look at this cafe racer... I recall it being from the late 60s, early 70s.

it's a shame it's a photoshop... The fairings are real but look at the axles of the wheels. Every so often the broken part of my brain tells me to get one of those fairings. No, I tell it, no, but it won't be told.

Nice try Mitch! But Northwind put us all right a little while ago when the talk turned to whire spoked wheels.Some cheat by some French guys if I remember correctly.

BTW it is my understanding that a true Café racer does not have any fairings but merely clip-on's or dropped bars.

No. Pre-dates Scrubs by a good few years. First said to me when I was an apprentice by someone whose first langauge was not the english.

Like the photoshopped SV. Shows what is possible.

Like the TL job. It's odd that the TL is now considered a nice tourer!

There is more to owning a motorcycle than riding it and if it was mine I would polish it every day.... Honest mister!!!!
