Someone remembers the XS650. Lovely rugged bike.

Have honda cb650 rc05 1981 cafferace, kan help mi with carburetors, put pot filters but dont run god,, thank you

This is not for beginners, they need way more ideas what to do with their bike-build. Not listening to an american guy who just love to hear his own voice. Why the fuck has all americans on youtube the same disease? You are professionals to waist my time!

1:23 made me uncomfortable

thanks for the education and instruction

A bit more info on removal and install is warranted.

I didn’t know much about the subject and got my self a Honda 1978 cx500, it seem like a good idea it cost me 350 dollars should I use this bike or get something else?

Please don’t butcher these old bikes. They look horrible after you’ve finished, then you don’t ride them at all, either. I ride 5 days out of the week. I never see these things on the road.

I got my 750 for 1k. So happy I found it

Are the RFY stickers removable?

What/where do I get the right water?

I remember cafe racers very well. I was born 1955 in the UK . The cafe at the bottom of our street had regular visits with the “Ton up “ boys sat at the pin ball machines ,drinking tea or coffee and listening to rock and roll on the duke box . They didn’t say much to a kid like me but I knew what I saw and I new what I wanted. The bikes were Always British,BSA , Norton and Triumph being favourites. Alloy or fibreglass tanks, clip ons, open bel mouth carbs,rear sets, Rev counters were usually on the more elite bikes like Bonnies,Super Rockets, Dominators, louder pipes often with big cooling clamps on the headers ,brake drum trims supposedly for cooling,alloy guards. Single seats weren’t always favoured no doubt because it prevented a pillion ie girlfriends. These were for all the big boys ,leaving lesser mortals like learners and those with more mundane machines to act as wannabes that is until one manufacturer made there own cafe racer which would have taken the prize for a looker outside ANY cafe . It was the Royal Enfield GT Continental, and above all it was learner legal!! My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw it. Alas I couldn’t afford one and had to make do with an Ariel Arrow in need of gearbox work which I did aged 15 yrs. LOL

Hi, did you finally go ahead and read Baker Henistole's suggestions a fair shot? Maybe try go’ogling him, if you're tired of having to go through a grueling workout regime for months without results. It's natural, of course, and it can be done in 30 days.

you put one single tow hook on just for looks?

nobody watches a youtube video to look at you sitting there taking to the frigging camera... total waste of video filming your EGO. The entire video should have only had bikes and not you trying to be yet another wanna-be host.

Kidnap meme again 😍😍😍😍😍😍

The Thruxton RS is probably the best bike from factory that’s a cafe racer. Obviously not cheap, nor a beginner bike.

Well, it was surreal clicking on this random cafè video and hearing your familiar voice (I’ve followed your film channel since the beginning) and seeing a familiar setting. Never had a clue from watching your film channel that motorcycles were in your life. Cool beans.

What the heck is "soft water"? Never seen it sold anywhere.

The WD40 didn't affect the red kote bonding??

GS750

Thanks I'm looking for something

Can you please link the shift boot. Been trying to find the exact same one but no luck

I have a skyteam ace 125. I'm building a scrambler / Cafe racer hybrid sort of thing. Low budget build, not show bike quality but I'm loving it

How fast these goes in mph

I’ve owned an 82 650 cafe racer for 3 years now and I clicked on this video after buying an e36 and audibly said out loud “this asshole again?”. Love your content.

No video number 3? Awww

The indicators on my 650z are so slow. What can be the problem? The battery is full charged.

GR 650 here, just aquired it and I am looking at different options :)

Oil analysis can throw-up false negatives: ie nothing to indicate imminent failure, but rod bearings still needed. If you've done the miles then do the maintenance; at least I would / do.

I like the look , but I don't like the work especially drilling part

Awesome vid, thanks mate!!

Seriousl Question here: How much would all of you pay for a 1978 Yamaha XS1100? I'm debating on whether or not to pull the trigger on this particular bike to start as a cafe racer project. I don't want to overpay.

What size are the shocks I'm looking for some for my 79 Honda Xl250s and these look awesome 😎🤙

Would it be fit for My GS425e?

I just inherited one of these! Do the existing mufflers need to chopped off - aka no going back to stock?

What helmet you have ? I like it

Well that wasn't a "DDrag Race" it was a "Roll Race". And usually it's best out of three.

I have catless headers on mine and LOVE the sound as well I have a Super Sprint Muffler. Sounds GREAT! Because I have the cats gone I found the "ECUworx" free tuning software and tuned the car for them. It also allows you to code your Sport button throttle (Well the throttle mapping in general actually) Which I loved because I turned up my throttle mapping so I don't need to push it down hardly at all to get the juice when I want it LOL. Check it out it's really amazing DIY software!! And all you need to pay for is the license! (About $40).

I love mine too. If I compare the way a 2006 model car from another manufacturer I find the rattles worse in other cars personally. I also don't buy all my parts OEM or from FCP Euro. Some I do if they are bmw specific but things like sensors or plastic bits for interior or trim on the car you can save lots buying cheaper ebay parts and really there's nothing I find too often that is a big problem. If there is it's usually so cheap it's no big loss IMO. lol. My car has been lowred and has a few after market parts that help with keeping the car very solid on the corners. (All my bushings are poly and then I have Anti roll bars Camber arms but the rest is OEM and it's great. I totally agree with you on the Weight!! TOO HEAVY!! LOL. Great stuff!

I'm brainstorming on changing an original look 2007 BMW R1200R into a cafe racer or toaster. Suggestions?, send them my way. Thanks

perhaps if you are recording when riding the nike the camera will be better on your chest to have a better perspective of the ride, on helmet it moves to much, but i am sure it was a great ride, i had one the same and was asome, same as yours

Everyone that knows anything about cars knows maximas are not to be played with, they're beasts, even just factory

Am i the only one that cant get out of the 90s? Ive had bout 8 4th gen maximas and the one i got now is a Red 99 SE 5 speed limited edition, injen intake, GReddy catback exhaust which is pretty quiet unless u really get into it like i wanted it to be

how about putting it back on??

Is it the same for an e46 convertible?

Hey it's there a way to verify if the zhp shift knob is genuine or Chinese

That hood fitment is horrendous, bro.

Would love to know your opinion about royal Enfield continental GT 650

Surprised I didn’t see any old BMW’s, they’re not very common to my knowledge but damn are they they sexiest cafe racers I’ve ever seen
