Motorcycles — Cafe Racers? What bikes are good for a novice? Conversion?
I’m just getting into riding and want to get a first bike. Small one. Lightweight and easy to ride.
I like cruisers but I REALLY like the cafe racer style. What bikes that are small displacement / low seat height that can be converted or already ‘there’ to be a cafe racer? I even like the styling of old Honda’s but not sure if a vintage bike would be a good starter bike since they have older technology and handling…
any advice?
Some of the older Japaneese parallel twins make good looking cafe racers. Older Honda CB350 – CB650 and Yamaha 650s are popular for cafe racers. They’re still easy to find, handle good and are easy to modify. I’ll provide some links.
