I am wanting to start a new project and I am looking for pics or links to pics, blogs, forums, information etc. for Cafe Racers. I am wanting to stay with the Japanese based bikes since they are plentiful and cheap.

Here are a few of my favorites:

http://www.myspace.com/twinlinemoto Seattle shop. great help for my lil Japalooza that is in the works. They now even have a dyno on site. Pics up when it is done, though I am leaning more towards a scrambler bobber type than a cafe, still gotta love the older 70-80s japanese standards.

Try to stay with a twin instead of an inline 4. a kawa or suzuki twin can be a lot cheaper than an old honda 4 or a yamaha 650 twin. check out Hotwinglass for a custom seat.

I'll have to look but I think I have shots of some cool Cafe Buells from Japan (IE they were customized my Japanese riders)

I once got a book, Memorable Japanese Motorcycles. It had 128 pages, and all of them were blank.

Just kidding...

I was going to recommend the ACE cafe. They have changed their site since the last time I looked at it. Used to be about 50 pages of bikes on the site. Still some stuff.

Spidey,

I would love to see them. My guess would be that they would be based on tubers.....I hope to add a tuber to the lineup in the next two years but I have to find the right one (read price).


BTW thanks Y'all for the help and info,
Bart
