That is a show bike guys. I know..I wish it was a production bike.
Here's the where I found it: http://www.gizmag.com/go/8096/ "...two variations on an air-cooled CB1100R machine with distinctly retro styling - one harking back to the endurance racers of a quarter century ago, and the other somewhere between the original CB750 of 1969 (the original superbike) and the CB400 which launched a thousand racing careers. |

Egli-Vincent?
I have to say, I love this thread, guys. You all know I'm a pokey old Harley rider from way back, but these cafe' racers speak to me. I would love to someday have a classic Bonneville motored, Featherbed framed cafe' racer. Or a classic Duc, like a '70's vintage 900SS. Or a Yellow Submarine. Or a...

Just saw this thread. Here's mine, an original cafe racer. Except this one isn't a poser. Check out my signature. Its unrestored original.

Wow Hugh - very Nice! And I thought it was tough to find parts for my 60s Hondas! Can't imagine sourcing parts for that bike.

O.k., you guys have gotten me to thinking (that scares the crap out of my wife...). Say a guy wanted to build a cafe' racer on an old Ironhead Sportster. Say it already has a strong motor (Wiseco 10: pistons, Andrews R5 cams, heads by Branch Flowmetrics, S&S Super "E", etc.). Say all he needed was clip-ons, rear sets, and suitable bodywork. Where would he look? I know Stortz Performance has cafe' and flat track parts for modern Evo Sporties, but does anyone have this kind of stuff for the older ones? Seems the cafe' movement kind of left them out. Also seems they would be naturals. I would be starting with this. I've owned this bike for 28 years now...
