man i wish there were more people like this guy. his entire mission in life is to resurrect old bikes and make what some people consider a pile of scrap into a bike that ppl love and want to ride. this dude rocks!
tip-of-my-hat to the efforts of Dustin Kott and film crew. captured the interaction of builder to bike -- genius to genius i am a passionate gearhead here in missouri. i need the visual of this film to feed me. it gets lonely out here . . . to the guy watching this 2x a day . . . understood.
It's not about the culture, it's about a guy and his work on the racers. The music reflects his love for the bikes and his journey in refurbishing them, not about hanging out with a bunch of other guys riding. The music works.
I've watched this 4 times now. Dustin; your work is inspiring. Every time I work on my bike I'm reminded what you said, "no two designs are the same." It reminds me to just build, be creative, and expose the bikes soul. Keep up the good work!
When the narrator is talking about how hes grown up with hot rod influence but is infatuated by Cafe style motorcycles, I understand where he's coming from. I am the same way.
Most of the time, i don't like the modern look of Cafe racers. But he got skills, vision and nice looking bikes. And this from an American. Keep up the good work. (Y)
Yes smoking kills, but whatever gives you a thrill, pleasure usually is unhealthy. Extreme sports, fast ride, alcohol etc. I am smoking person and my advice to everyone is do not start and taste it. Otherwise you might really enjoy it. Great piece of movie dude! I am building a café racer myself right now and I understand what are You talking about😉😀!
Awesome video! And very well written narration. Those of who build these cafe racers know exactly what you mean, even if some of us aren't as quick or skilled as you.. Lol
I agree with you not the above comment. There are many aspects of the cafe racer culture but the most important aspect is our passion for the motorcycle and the experience that comes along with riding a beautiful (your definition of it) machine.
Im a Limey And ITS THE 1950s-60 OVER Here That was The ROCKERS ERA !!!ie The GOLD STAR !!!and TRITON & DOMMIE Racer ???WAS the KINGS !!!Of The Road !!!and The TON UP !!!BOY WAS the TOP MAN !!!LOOK Up DRESDA AUTOS And ROCKERS Era 😁😂g
hey guys, i'm from austria, i will build a cafe racer and i looks many videos every day but this is the greatest cafe racer video that i have ever seen. My question is: is that a HONDA CB 750 Four and is the gas tank original?
forget the haters,,,, Dustin you are the man and have "THE" vison. @atilliar,, dude do some reserch, you are tripping on the words,,, Cafe racer means just that, racing from Cafe to Cafe in the 50's rocker lifestyle google "Ace Cafe"..... @ Dustin Kott, Keep up the good work, and gr8 Vid man
Yes, yes and yes, it's the same Konzept, driving only with the Parts youre real need, on 2 (3 with sidecar) or 4 Wheels. Sorry my english is not very well. Greetings from germany
The world has 4 clowns in it if you do not like caferacers watch some thing else it's a cafe racer thing you do not have to understand just enjoy what people build and enjoy as a caferacer. This guy builds a classic bike build what you like not what others like cafe racers rock this planet
Ironically those of us old enough who had parent that built these "new" (Gen-Xers), built streetfighters. If y'all love naked, raw, and unforgiving; just wait until trends change and you strip an old GSX-R 1100 late 80's style.
Noah Richardson, it sounds like a 'crotch rocket' because its a 4 inline with , mostly lightly straight-throu... and probably slightly distorted sound due to recording.Ever watch Mad max 1 where the zed's had scaffold poles as pipes- awesome sound.
That's like saying you can't make a bobber out of a honda because it's not a harley. Both bikes work efficiently to different buyers. Matter of preference my friend, so no learning here.
Cool bikes, LOL just like anything else, people will tend to over dramatize their passion. A good hamburger could not be how it is with out some cheese and that's how a lot of these videos are LOL.
There is an evolution process, ah, that takes place... because, the idea, is to, is to create a machine that has only what it needs, to exist... to work, to run.
Obviously you don't understand what a cafe racer is. Cafe racers were a way to make the bikes of the day perform better than stock. They were attempts to get bikes on the level of the gp bikes of that day. Fairings were a way to improve the aerodynamics of the bikes to make them run faster. Cafes weren't an exercise in art but function. Maybe the words have you a bit tripped up forget about the word cafe and start thinking RACER as in race bike as in upgrading the suspension, wheels and so on.
+Ryan Baldrey Depends on how the racer was built and I don't mean aesthetics necessarily. If the air box is cut up, missing, etc... in order to make the bike run richer (and in some cases look better - i.e. hollow mods) than the moment it rains your going to blow a gasket eventually. If you keep the integrity of the bike intact than I don't see why not? The rest is personal preference. Food for thought.
May be a bit uncomfortable, i have a 77 cb750 cafe and after about 2 hours max your forearms, lower back, and traps are sore af. Under 2 hours, lets roll. Ny to LA? Take 2 weeks of pto instead of 1 lol
Same as bikes, or any guy in the street, a lot of diseases, your mind can also kill you, almost all in this fucking world can kill you, so dont take it so bad and relax dude

Mad respect for this guy's builds... he's got a signature style which he somehow always manages to interpret variably

Beautiful pictures and words. Pure essence in just 10 minutes!!! Congratulation!!!
Just so simple, cool and raw! Love it!
wow talk about motivation, building my first cafe right now, 1974 gt 185 great video
Love these bikes, makes me want to get to the garage and do some manly work.
Nice mention of Sugar Bear...Love everything about your short film. Very well done.
Thanks for sharing
I love all bikes I have had 5 HDs, Dual Sports, Suzuki GSXR but I want a Cafe Racer soooo bad!! Great clip!!
beautiful video, beautiful words...
Awesome, love seeing handmade, innovation and creativity, well done..
i'm building my first cafe racer (and first bike) currently, and this video makes me nothing but SUPER excited to get my project finished.... amazing
When the narrator is talking about how hes grown up with hot rod influence but is infatuated by Cafe style motorcycles, I understand where he's coming from. I am the same way.
Nicely shot and well edited, and a very classy Honda build. Great job guys!

your an inspiration, absolutely beautiful bikes by the way
Great video... including the music...

Very inspiring video. Greetings from Holland.

WHAT I NEED TO BUILD A CAFE RACER? WHAT ARE THE BASIC AND UNTOUCHABLE REQUIRES TO BUILD ONE ,for example HAVE TO A HONDA AND WHAT ENGINE MUST HAVE?CC?
👍👍👍ich will ab sofort auch ein Café Cowboy sein .👍👍👍.winnecaferacer.

@ Dustin Kott, Keep up the good work, and gr8 Vid man
a lot more, i lived and breather the cafe era,
inline four with a 4 into 1 header sounds like that, even more so with no baffle. I think it sounds deadly!
Sounds shite, a proper bike is a Brit twin or a thumper. Ricers don't cut it. Even the Japanese, prefer British Twins or singles.
Brilliant...thanks for uploading this by the way
Honda's are fucking legendary 🤩❤️🔥❤️🔥
great video. I really enjoyed it. thanks for posting!
It is a cafe racer. It has an inline four cylinder. All inline fours sounds like that.
Awesome video and very nice fabricating skills, please keep up the good work
it is art at its best this video is cool and the bikes even cooler
gooood video, nice.... keep on man. keep on...
Really nice film.
I really enjoyed it.
Ryders always on top ❤❤❤❤
How come there are no comments on here. This is a great video
How much for one of your bikes?
Lovely Film !!!
ITS HISTORY! ITS RICH! its breath taking and mindblowing! its not emo, its FUCKING DRAMATIC!
I thought your hot rod / cafe racer comparison was spot on but never heard at before
Love your passion good look xden
I remember that football game. And, considering I only watch/listen to about 5 games a year thats pretty neat.
Yes, yes and yes, it's the same Konzept, driving only with the Parts youre real need, on 2 (3 with sidecar) or 4 Wheels.
Sorry my english is not very well.
Greetings from germany
This was very inspiring, thanks.
Pena que aqui no Brasil, não se faz moto assim, tob man...
Top !
Great video!
Angle grinder sparks!
We need MORE angle grinder sparks.....beards too!
This video is inspiring.

Great vid mate xden
gotta love this one
thats it, I quitting my job as a trucker and going back to wrenching. Fuck this shit, I wanna play with machines!
Sugar Bear is a legend. Dark side of town?
Noah Richardson, it sounds like a 'crotch rocket' because its a 4 inline with , mostly lightly straight-throu... and probably slightly distorted sound due to recording.Ever watch Mad max 1 where the zed's had scaffold poles as pipes- awesome sound.
I see so many short films about cafe bike builders, but I never see who buys them. The market audience (urban hipsters) are usually broke!
Great video
What an amazing video.
nice cafe racers mate like what you do
Its magical!
Nice bikes xxden
Well said!
same intrest..difrent continent..to bad..

video is classy man...
02:06 Where can I buy these gloves?
I can't see Japanese bikes as Cafe racers
Exactly need British bikes to coin the phrase cafe racer.!
Only if he is Paul Jr Designs. I'm damn glad that show is over !!! It's a shame Discovery channel sold Cafe Racer TV to Velocity.
hermoso ♥
bad ass..
And to think I was about to give up on my old cb550.
ROCK ON!
why does it sound more like a crotch rocket then a cafe racer
Noah Richardson Because its a inline 4 and what are sportsbikes? Inline 4s well most are....
Love the video, just leave the cigarettes out of them. Used to be cool about 40 years ago but looks naff now. Keep the builds going.
+Mick Sowden These bikes used to be cool about 40 years ago as well.....and now are really cool imho :)
+Adam Pogorzelski The bikes are cool the cigarettes aren't. read the comment correctly first. Cheers.
I understood. Just wanted to say that they match themselves.
+Adam Pogorzelski Really! I'm guessing you're a smoker.
+Mick Sowden miss ;)

some parts are acceptable and i for example leave the seat as is..
It only has a small number of views because this is not the original uploader.
i love this video so much, but at 6:53 camera man...just move dude
Nice vid but you could lose the high pitched background noise.....my tinnitus is bad enough.
Fuck'n COOL 😎
So you actually listen .
it aint cafe cowboy, the saying is coffee bar cowboy !!!!!!! name is from England, it was meant as an insult by the old folks.
could a person do a road trip on a racer

Quite.
👍
Ok, I get it, you smoke cigs...
why is the music so dramatic? enough of this emotional crap, this is cafe racer culture. let's fuckin' ROCK!
Why romanticize smoking in this film.
Smoking kills.
I think that, smoking is part of the process when you have time to think and stop for a moment, I loved it, but I stopped smoking
so do police car chases
Jan RA so does not minding your own business
Same as bikes, or any guy in the street, a lot of diseases, your mind can also kill you, almost all in this fucking world can kill you, so dont take it so bad and relax dude
My grandmother smoked all her life, she died at 88, kicked by horse, she had a cigarette on at the time, so grow up you pratt.
