    A Muse of great beauty inspired the men behind this build. You are sharing with all of us the early Golden Age of Café Racers! Today I will go out and lay hands on my own Virago. She has not run in over 30 years. She was retired and disliked by two brothers. Parked in many a garage and covered this complete machine is now in my garage, a challenge from a friend to make it run reliably. As a reward it shall be mine! Should I leave it stock... or CAFE!!! My irony is I am 71 and the café configuration is unkind to the older spine. After seeing this episode, I don't care. I may fill my garage with nothing but café motorcycle even if I only ride around the block. Wonderful video and machine you shared today. Thanks!!!

      My dear friend, I am very happy that this video served as an inspiration for you. I'm only 50 years old. But personally, I'd rather ride a cafe racer than a Bobber or a Scrambler. Ride motorcycles with your back straight, can be good on a long trip. But after hitting an unexpected bump or hole in the road, it is very painful for your back. With a Cafe Racer, this never happens. :)
      Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers

      I'm 72. My cafe racer sits on the patio. Made from a moto guzzi California stone 1100.....
      Spent one winter building in an aircraft hangar. Kept the wiring stock the xcept for trimming down the bundle. Kept the engine stock except for the intake. Kept the rake/trail stock.
      Promised myself it wouldn't be a forever project. So it retains reliability. Even kept the original gas tank stock. It was such a pretty shape.
      You can do it.

    The Virago is definitely a great bike to use to build a Café racer! This one is a piece of art work. Recently, I sold a Virago 1100 twin shock that I bought out of a garage that had been abandoned for many years. I converted it to a single carb Mikuni and it ran very nice once tuned. This one is a very beautiful bike! As always, thank you for Racer TV, the Café racers only choice! Hope you are doing well and enjoying a great weekend! Ride safe my dear friend! Cheers:)

    This is one of my favorite channels. I owned a 83 Virago and I missed her a lot. Sadly I sold it because never could do the starter clutch fix and it was driving me crazy, but I shouldn't have. It was really fun to drive, agile and with lots of power.

    If you believe Australia is part of Planet Earth ... I qualify (just)!
    What a stunning bike!! The lines are perfect, the wheels fitted in fantastically, the frame alterations terrific .... Then the riding shots ... Beautifully filmed and composed etc ... But the rider looked too big for the bike and nearly got overtaken by a snail!! I wanted to hear the pipes sing and burble!!!
    I'm sorry ... but that's about all I can find to fault it on!! Not my usual style ... but I love it ... (and would love to know more about it ... Part 2?)

      Loool. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. But I'm going to be completely honest with you. The roar of that engine is disappointing. It lacks personality, and at idle, it sounds like a 1-cylinder engine. I think different exhausts could help improve this issue. :) Cheers

    It's an absolute stunning build. The only thing I'm wondering is with the change of the front frame, how much travel of the fork is left here. It looks like not much in the footage.
    But anyway, making such drastic changes to the proportions of a bike isn't exactly a short cut. Great work!

    agreed 100%!…on all points…to start with, it is a very challenging frame, because these bikes were designed for road comfort with long raked forks to add wheelbase…and for this reason these bikes always appeared uninspiring to me. but that air cooled v twin puts out a very level high torque range that makes it great for running through the gears around town without going to jail…the body is masterful !…as a purist and being ultra critical, i might have done away with shaft drive and gone with a belt…i never really appreciated the integrated frame / motor , exposing the front of the engine until now. the wheels do follow the design cues, but they are also one of the biggest giveaways of the what the original bike was…and i’d say that perhaps it makes the build that much more impressive…really special one!

    It's very different from the other Virago cafe racer that are made so far, however I still don't understand, what change is made in front Forks Triple Tree /frame section, that lifted the engine up from ground, which is a good thing. The original suspension always had been low and a drawback.

    • @danielkeel9265

    Very beautiful, but I can't help but think that the fuel tank is way too small. Being in Australia I'm used to riding longer distances and would find refuelling stops too frequent. Maybe that's not so much of an issue way up there in Europe. Maybe I'd approach it with a rounder body curve and a little bit of overhang over the frame to add capacity. A lovely design though!

      @danielkeel9265 I understand the situation in Australia. But I must point out that a custom motorcycle like this is not built for long trips. For this reason, the issue of reduced fuel tank capacity, should not be seen as a problem. :) Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers

    This is an industrial art project using a motorcycle. As much as I appreciate the artistic and engineering abilities inherent in such a build the reality is that such a machine is not functional, at least not in my legal jurisdiction and I suspect the same applies in many other jurisdictions. Without a front fender and unless the rear wheel is enclosed by 50% of its circumference, and unless it has turn signals (because the original machine came with indicarors) this bike could not be licensed for the road where I live. It is a piece of art, not a cafe racer. I feel we are seeing more and more of these types of builds on the channel because these builders are putting out lots of stills and videos. What would be nice to see would be functional cafe racers whose ideas are obtainable by the average person. Kind regards. 🇨🇦

      I've had the opportunity to ride a motorcycle with 5 cm of front suspension travel several times, and I can say that it's not as bad as it might seem. It's hard on roads with bad surfaces, but it's good for roads in good condition. :) Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers

    Great design but with maybe two cm of fork travel at the front it doesn't really work.

      @nosherwanadill6177 I think you are probably refering to the Yamaha XV 920 Virago by Moose MotoDesign. ua-cam.com/video/Ck7Tgz4zDjY/v-deo.html
      But I think the overall stance is different, with the solo seat separated from the tank, and in a higher position. Cheers.

    The café racer scene is responsible for the destruction of so many lovely old bikes. Just leave them alone. I just bought a beautiful completely standard all original BMW R100RS that the owner was planning to butcher. Luckily for me he got made redundant and had to sell it before he'd ruined it. That would have been sacrilege. The café racer scene is one of the worst fads in biking

    • @RACER_TV
      @RACER_TV  7 місяців тому

      @AndySmith4501 I recognize that there are some projects using classic motorcycles of historical value. But there is also a good side. It helps to increase the market for original used parts, and also helps to save many old motorcycles that no one wants, preventing them from ending up in scrap. :) Cheers.
