Topic: Coolest cafe racer ever.

I think this one pretty much speaks for itself...

[scunny]

did he lose his workshop manual ?
I think it will need a steering damper for those high speed chicanes

[DammitDan]

I believe this is the purest definition of the classic "chopper" 

[6pkrunner]

ROFL!!! Perfect. Is there a full body kit in the works?

                     Whoa! Talk about "Compact"! Think about how many you could park in a car-size
            parking spot.

umm thats pretty cool looking... curious what pupose the shocks provide though...

[jabbadeznuts]

WTF??!!

[Roach Carver]

umm thats pretty cool looking... curious what pupose the shocks provide though...

could it be putting pressure on some sort of friction drive thing? just a guess

[heffay]

imagine the headache following the application of the brakes 

[kghost]

No brakes that I saw.

No Spokes either.

In fact I see no way the wheel would rotate.

[hopterfixer]

There is a rollerblade wheel just forward of the front engine mount.  I want to see the burn out 

[kghost]

One rollerblade wheel thats not touching the rim.....


Whats supposed to keep the wheel round? sure doesn't have any spokes to take the load. 

[Jinxracing]

Looks to be a roller drive wheel inside that chain box at the rear of the engine. Shocks appear to be purely for show as far as I can tell.

[kghost]

Ask yourself how the tire holds air.

Be a bit tough on the valve stem what with the rollers and such.

I think its a bull#$%* picture

[Rsnip988]

everyone knows that bike runs on fairy dust and wishes


it probably would roll with the engine's power,
 but i agree that it most likely couldnt carry a passenger's weight

[Jinxracing]

I'm not going to argue either way as to whether or not this particular one works, but I've seen some pretty odd single-wheel configurations that looked like they'd never work in a million years, but nevertheless did work surprisingly well.

Valve stem issue is easy–solid rubber tire.

[kghost]

Either the gearshift or the kickstarter is missing of the right side engine case..............


I think theres not enough torsional rigidity in that wheel hub to make that thing ridable at anything resembling speed. There is no support for the rim. It would be an oval at the first pothole.

If that in fact is an idler wheel at the front of the engine where are the rest? You telling me that between the coils and the front case there doesn't need to be another idler wheel?

I think he got carried away with the bobbing.
