    Cafe Racers.

    Hi guys,
    How many of you like cafe racers? Well I love cafe racers. Still have this plan of buying a second-hand bullet or RD and converting it into a cafe racer. Its easy to make a Bullet into a cafe racer cos most cafe racers were British singles. All whats needed is clip-ons rear-set footpegs, single-seat and a slightly upswept exhaust.
    Most cafe racers are British/French single cylinder motorcycles. These bikes were used to race from a cafe in one town to a cafe in another town. So the term "Cafe Racers".







    yes, the last 2 bikes are our very own Royal Enfield Bullet.
