The name "cafe racer" reminds to memories with an ancient flavour and a rebellious soul. In the 60s it was used in the UK to indicate those motorcycles which were stripped of all the accessories elements - and radically modified - and that were parked in front of the clubs frequented by young people of the Rocker movement. These motorcycle were characterised by a series of structural and aesthetic changes, in order to enhance the concept of speed. 

Two Italian guys who share a visceral passion for motorbikes have created various projects by modifying "ordinary" motorcycles in terms of aesthetics and content. The starting point of this custom cafe racer is a Honda XR 600, whose frame has been cut at the rear and modified to host two gas shock absorbers (specially made by Bitubo), replacing the original single shock absorber. The engine has been run in and serviced, and is powered by a flat valve CR Khein 41 carburetor. The canister has been removed, replacing this fuel system component with a BMC air filter. The original rims of the Honda XR 600 have been replaced with two Czech Excel + 19 "flat track hub, with the 2.5" channel. The front pertains to Yamaha R6 and the tank, together with the mudguards, have been specially made of aluminum to keep a low weight. The exhaust was handcrafted by Officine Italiane Zard, known in the racing and design sectors for over 30 years.
