I really like that.

The Boxer seems to really suit this treatment.

I'd loose the nut roaster too.

Some upswept contis would look great.

Silencer each side or both on ones side.

First world problems Eh!

I'd love a boxer cafe racer.

Just don't have the skills to make one.

I do, you're right, but it's finding the time to do it as standard without trying to source bits BUT re-introducing the SR400 to these shores might make it easier plus me mate has an article about an SR500 cafe racer so you never know

Not sure if anyone else got this, but I had en email through from my dealer a little while ago confirming the UK price at £11600 OTR.
A little cheaper than the 16800 euros mentioned earlier (which is £13850 at todays rate).
Still can't afford one. Or can I......

I like this.

It's good looking and even half practical.

That does look good. Apparently they still race them in Germany and was told I could easily sell mine for 3 times what I paid for it but I bought it to restore it so that's what I'm going to do (might take a while tho!!)
