Seems a crime to put some of these awesome machines in the cafe racer thread. What else you gonna call em?

I love the painted cylinders.

Was all going well...until I noticed the dropped clip-ons and melted headlight :shock:

Shirley some big old cowhorns are required to go with those knobblies? It must be a pig to ride around corners. Is it the unattractive lovechild of a cafe racer and a clubman enduro bike? And that headlight... :roll:

can't take any of these things seriously when they fit Conti TKC80 off road tyres for the "chunky" look.

I had them on my Funduro for the winter, and they work well as a winter tyre. However, they're not a fine "handling" tyre and wear like billy o.
