Yes, the tremendously versatile Virago. One guy even used a Virago motor in his home-built airplane! Racer, no one can reveal the secrets of a design like you do! The shot of the two bikes with the front wheel merged, the morphing photos, the demonstration of the proportions: all done very effectively.
I really have to sit and stare at both bikes for a few more days! This much eye candy is hard to swallow in one viewing. Okay, for me the blue bike just plain works beautifully!!! Thank you so much !
Projetos esplendidos. Analise perfeita. Tambem possuo uma Virago 750 1995 cafe racer, com suspençao invertida da Triumph 1050 e tanque de RD 350 1973. Descupe a modestia, mas linda tabem. Grande abraço!
Great presentation of these two finely crafted machines. I appreciate the background on the fuel tank. These are beautiful tanks with correctly proportioned knee dents, but, what else would one expect from the Italian designers! Thank you for Racer TV, the Café Racers only choice! Have a great weekend my friend, and I hope your build is progressing as planned.
Thank you my dear friend for sharing your perspective. :) About my CX project, to be honest, i think it is going to look much better than i imagined, but the building process is much harder than i thought. I hope to ride it next Month. :) I wish you a good weekend too. Cheers.
As always the racer tv never lets me down best bikes ever detail is amazing form boring bikes to art thanks AGAIN for showing me how things can look brilliant 👍🇬🇧
Caro amigo, ficou muito legal esse dueto, Blue & Red. Não seria capaz de imaginar que uma Virago daria uma Cafe Racer tão ousada. Tenho, graças a você e seus videos, estudado a Proporção Divina. Para alguém como eu, de talento mediano, do tipo que "aprende por tentativa e erro", a Proporção Divina traz a enorme dificuldade de planejar cada detalhe com antecedência. Mas hoje você nos deu outra prova do quanto ela é importante. Se tivesse que escolher entre as motos, ficaria com a vermelha, que me pareceu levemente mais rústica. Saudações e obrigado por mais este vídeo.
It is difficult to say which of the two bikes I like the most, maybe the blue one because of the inverted suspension. But in both, everything seems to work visually. Maybe the colors do not appeal to me but that is a matter of personal tastes. Definitely, Thailand is a country that has to look at its designs in café racer, because it is so far, the only country with a motorcycle brand, dedicated to a mass market with cafe racer designs: the Stallion.
Olá amigo Alejandro. Yes, it seems the motorcycle market in Thailand is huge. Curiously, yesterday i heard that Stallion brand is going to sell motorcycles here in Portugal. But it seems that is not official yet. :) Thank you my friend for sharing your usual perspective. :) Saludos.
You would think I'd be bored of saying it by now, but no, never. Yet another excellent production my friend. I think the names are a bit shit, but the bikes themselves, well, what can I say? They are so very pretty, i must say their a little unfinished for me, I like mudguards, i don't think a bikes finished with out them, maybe it's because I live in Britain, all that rain. I'm not normally one for red, although my Gix is red, and I've just bought red grafix for my 91 Genesis. I must say I love the stance of the blue one, it looks like it would handle very well, up until the point where it didn't, it's kind of similar to my stunt bike.
Thank you my friend for sharing your honest perspective. That is exactly what i like to know from the Fans of Racer TV. Because it helps me to find what most people really think. :) Cheers.
Bellas pero esos neumáticos, especialmente el delantero seguramente descomponen el manejo, además de que visualmente el mensaje es la pose por encima del desempeño y eso estéticamente no funciona. Como siempre excelente video.
Great video as always! The voice cracked me up when it said Mojave though. Idk if this helps but maybe look up a video: məʊˈhɑːvɪ is the pronunciation, like the Mojave Desert in California. Unless perhaps it's pronounced differently in the bike world then I don't know.
Sorry about that. To be honest, being a name from an italian fuel tank, i thought that it would be spoken as we(Portugueses) usually read. Thank you my friend for your comment. :) Cheers.
Love the red one because of the lines of exhausts and single carb. It gives a great look! On the blue one I don't really like the exhausts and the rear brake disk... Do you know what is the brand of front light optics?
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. I think the housing ring is custom made, but the headlight is probably this one in the link: www.originalcaferacer.com/product/headlight-headlamp-led-cree-x-1-light-7-cafe-racer-motorbike-bike-e-approved/ Cheers.
The Benelli Mojave tank is the iconic look for the Virago cafe racer created by Greg Hageman. However, at 10 litre capacity it is way too small for any practical motorcycle and is not a direct fit by any stretch of the imagination, at least not the myriad of copies out there. It does make for a nice looking bike though and these two are a great example.
Hi. A question. Are these motorcycles designed to ride in rainy conditions? Because as I see them, I think they are only for driving on sunny days. Can you please get me out of doubt? Thank you.
virago the bike known to not want to crank over and start ..the bike that wanted to be a h.d. sportster ...the bike no one would buy .the bike with oil in frame that never worked for triumph years before ...oh well used are cheap to butcher up and give it a second chance ..
Roy Rodriguez , sigue pedaleando tu bicicleta Roy, el día en que H D haga una moto mejor que cualquier japonesa no lo van a ver ni tus nietos, estudia, aprende y luego habla!
Hello !!! your work is amazing i learn lots of stuff !! BUT I HAVE A QUESTION I rarely see 2 sits cafe racer even if its not the goal i love the shape of CR i want to custom a virago 535 for 2 is it possible ? do you have known exemple ??? thank youu
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Yes, it is perfectly possible. I am building my own cafe racer(Honda CX 650), and it will have a proper cafe racer seat with a rear cowl. Cheak out this link: ua-cam.com/video/A1rE5FgIUk0/v-deo.html Cheers.
Actually, this is one of Racer's favorite topics. Go into the Racer TV archives. There are many videos where he demonstrates how various designs use the golden ratio, either consciously or unconsciously; and in a few videos, the golden ratio is his main topic, and he explains in depth what he means. Must-see viewing for anyone planning his own project !!!
Both bikes look good indeed, but some of the details seem out of place. Having a mono shock suspension on a retro styled cafe racer seems odd. And I also find that the tires are a little too fat. Would look nicer with a set of larger wire wheels and smaller tires.
Shark Boy Shannon, can't wait to see your project bike....oh..you don't have one...so....you only talk about others job, yes like many others smart ass
Carlos Google Maps Hey, hey. I’m merely voicing out my opinions and suggestions with no intentions of bashing both builders, don’t perceive it as such.
The number 1 rule is, I have to love it. After that, it all depends on the originality of the project, the difficulty of the project, the model of the project's donor motorcycle, etc. :) Saludos.
I think the housing ring is custom made, but the headlight is probably this one in the link: www.originalcaferacer.com/product/headlight-headlamp-led-cree-x-1-light-7-cafe-racer-motorbike-bike-e-approved/ Cheers.
The front grill seems to be custom made. But the headlight is probably a LED headlight. Try to search on google for "motorcycle LED headlight". Cheers.

I can easily imagine how these fit into Thai culture in Bangkok. Nice lines, plenty of noise to create a big impression at night on the girls and in their own minds. I am sure these guys enjoy that and good luck to them, but they are a lot of work and expense for a very superficial result. Pretty much useless, but I am sure it will keep your obsession with clicks will be well fed.
RACER TV thank you very. By the way I really enjoy your content and those bikes you have an eye of hawk for cafe bikes and the way you brief. I have benelli 302 which in later stage wanted to convert into cafe bike. Big fan of your channel. Cheers

I don't know why I fail in love with the blue one 💙💙💙
Banco curto, v2, rodas grandes, monoshock. Tudo que eu adoro. Muito bom!

Saudações e obrigado por mais este vídeo.
Obrigado amigo Helio por partilhar a sua opinião, sobre as motos e sobre a proporção divina. :) Um abraço.
Uau!!! Sem palavras, dois belos exemplares e um vídeo a altura... Magnífico
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
Good job .. so so nice
Thanks racer tv.

The blue one wins the red one, and with that brand of tires ...
(Only the Portuguese understand, I'm afraid.)
Thanks for sharing mate.
Lol. I thought that the "Fuck" word was universal already. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Exelente gracias a ti pude hacer mi cafe racer de una 100cc
A azul ficou muito bacana, mais parabéns aos construtores e boa semana para todos.
Obrigado amigo Alex por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.

Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Not that anyone asked me,
but for my personal taste,
I would prefer the Blue (
While it is absolutely a matter of personal liking to be sure !
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
You are a bit smug but I subscribe and watch for the art of building and the video quality. The bikes are extraordinary. Not a bad trade! 😂😂
Very nice. Great bike for cafe racer project
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
You never fail to amaze me sir
its so satisfying to watch your videos!!
Love from India.

Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
CONGRATULATIOSN FROM BRASIL, NICE CHANNEL
Thank you. :) Um abraço.
*Que surpresa agradável, dois projetos em um video. Gostei das duas, mas ficaria com a azul.*
Obrigado amigo fernando por partilhar a sua habitual opinião. :) Um abraço.
I like the neoclassical caff styling,but I'm sure they wouldn't handle great with those tyres. Cool tho! 👍👍
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
inkitatus1 actually the tires look like they would be quite stable, much better than thin tires that seem to catch every crack in the road. Ride safe.
Hermosas máquinas, me hubiera gustado que tengan guarda barros, pero son muy bellas motos..
Gracias amigo. :) Saludos.
Those Tyre brand had me rolling.... 😂
great builds, well done. not my cup of tea but yes the proportions work beautifully. thank you Racer TV
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Gorgeous!!!!! 😮
Another cool video
Mi amigo caballero Racer TV
Regards from México 🤗
Gracias amigo. :) Saludos.
I hope for another Virago video, but from a Virago with 2 suspensions... Such Café Racers are really rare...
the yellow XV is the best looking one
Bellas pero esos neumáticos, especialmente el delantero seguramente descomponen el manejo, además de que visualmente el mensaje es la pose por encima del desempeño y eso estéticamente no funciona. Como siempre excelente video.
Thank you for a great video. Great bikes.
For a second with this voice, i thought is was a video for a new iPhone 😂
By the way, really really really beautiful cafe racer 🤘🏻
Lol. I'm glad you liked the project my friend. :) Cheers.
Incríveis os projetos, ao mesmo tempo que são parecidos, nos detalhes são destintos.
Obrigado amigo Alex por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.
Great video as always! The voice cracked me up when it said Mojave though. Idk if this helps but maybe look up a video: məʊˈhɑːvɪ is the pronunciation, like the Mojave Desert in California. Unless perhaps it's pronounced differently in the bike world then I don't know.
Sorry about that. To be honest, being a name from an italian fuel tank, i thought that it would be spoken as we(Portugueses) usually read. Thank you my friend for your comment. :) Cheers.

The helmet in 1:15 looks nice. Does somebody know what kind of helmet that is? It fits the retro style so well!
The Benelli Mojave tank is the iconic look for the Virago cafe racer created by Greg Hageman. However, at 10 litre capacity it is way too small for any practical motorcycle and is not a direct fit by any stretch of the imagination, at least not the myriad of copies out there.

Pick of the lot ! Sir great work again ...but plz listen to me ...do some video work on small bikes ...thank you
Thank you for your sugestion. I am working about a general video with small Cafe Racers. :) Cheers.
Hi. A question. Are these motorcycles designed to ride in rainy conditions? Because as I see them, I think they are only for driving on sunny days. Can you please get me out of doubt? Thank you.
Fack, i have to obtain my motorcycle licence now :p
Yep we must☺
Muy buena moto me gusto mucho
Gracias amigo. :) Saludos.
Interesting ! I prefer the blue blaster but the carb would be an issue for me ? Great work 👍🏻🏁
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.

So when are we gonna talk about the fact that the tires on the blue bike say "Fuckstone" hahaha
Lol. I already talked about that in one of my videos. They are replicas of the "Firestone deluxe champion". tires. :) Cheers.
I like there creations
Hello !!! your work is amazing i learn lots of stuff !! BUT I HAVE A QUESTION I rarely see 2 sits cafe racer even if its not the goal i love the shape of CR i want to custom a virago 535 for 2 is it possible ? do you have known exemple ??? thank youu

What are the perfect proportion for a bike? Is there a formula?
1.618... (the golden ratio)
How do you use that number please?

Cool bike
I have build a chopper bike
See in my Chanel

You should take a peek to a builder called JTEC MOTO, it has very interisting proyects.
Thank you my friend for your sugestion. You are right. Most of their projects are very interesting, but not exactly what i am looking for. :) Cheers.
awsome.......
please watch Arie Perkasa chanel, thankyu :)
when you say the fuel tank and seat are correctly proportioned to eachother, what's the rule there?
Cool
Vermelho chama mais atenção
Nice car
Hola RACER TV, CUALES SON LOS REQUISITOS PARA QUE MI MOTOCICLETA APAREZCA RN TU CANAL??
The number 1 rule is, I have to love it. After that, it all depends on the originality of the project, the difficulty of the project, the model of the project's donor motorcycle, etc. :) Saludos.
Awesome
it’s about as much a racer as the 1947 Harley that these tires were on originally.
WOWW Perfect n Excellent

Try to search on google for "cafe racer helmets", and i am sure you will find it. Cheers.
Thanks!
Top down triangular composition basically.
What is the Brand of the front light on the red ???
I think the housing ring is custom made, but the headlight is probably this one in the link:

Would that be Mojave as in Mohave... Mo... Have... Y...?
I didn't know this when i made this video, but the correct pronunciation is Mojave. :)
