For all you cafe racer fans
« on: March 14, 2012, 05:22:27 PM »
I went to the motorcycle museum in Solvang, Ca when I was visiting a few weeks back. This bike was parked outside. I'm not really a cafe type but this one was beautifully done and looks like it's probably turbocharged.

Yup, that sure is pretty.  Also looks like turbo power, I'll bet it's fast.  I'm trying to un-blur the lines of categories, does this look like what some are calling a street tracker due to that seat style coupled with non-clubman bars?
