"There are some things nobody needs in this world, and a bright-red, hunch-back, warp-speed 900cc cafe racer is one of them — but I want one anyway, and on some days I actually believe I need one.... Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba." Hunter S.

Hey Britman....do you have a better pic of this bike?  I'm making up the BOTM calendar and these pics seem to be cut off [plus, I dislike garage pics]  Thanks
