(LEGENDADO EM PORTUGUÊS)
Usually, the main obstacle for a married man buying a motorbike, is his wife.
If you are thinking building a cafe racer machine, this Funny video will give you 5 good reasons to do it.
It will help you realise, that a cafe racer bike can be a very good choice. Enjoy.

[@Nicky7S]

well, let me give 5 reasons to have a bike than a wife:P 1) your bike won't care if you look or ride other bikes 2) your bike only cares about pleasuring you 3) your bike won't care if you go out late with the guys 4) your bike will always be there for you, no matter what 5) well, your bike is cheaper than ANY wife:P

[@RACER_TV]

Nicky7S Looooool.

[@geraldmouse]

polish/caress your bike for 60 mins and you can ride it week. Try that with the wife??

[@RACER_TV]

EarlKrempe I understand your point my Friend. Try to see your situation as a great opportunity to change your life for better. Maybe finding a new passion. A new bike and a new Wife(which also love bikes). I wish you the best luck. Cheers.

[@EarlKrempe]

RACER TV Thank you for your kind words of support. I enjoyed your video and as a small gesture of my appreciation I have clicked "thumbs up" for your video.

[@slowpokebr549]

EarlKrempe My ex made me sell my Shovelhead, fifteen years later, my new girlfriend bought me a twin cam. She also rides. There is always hope brother.

[@VCRups]

If you are a man, you don't have get permission from a woman. If you want a motorcycle, then get a motorcycle. Asking permission from your wife is like asking your mom for a toy at a toy store. So go get a motorcycle no questions asked.

Hi reply 👋 from 2019 to 2015 comment . If you alive please answer me which country are you from ?

[@wach9191]

I have never been a fan of motorcycles, I liked cars and I'm really creative inside, I still wish to build a hot rod from scratch, but not long time ago I have found a cafe racers branch of motorcycles and I believe it is exactly what fits me 100% because differetly from cars, where you have to work around existing design, on bikes you can easy make it unrecognizable, the only limit is your imagination, and it is WAY cheaper to build than car project, as I'm not rich myself. I'm looking for Dnepr, to make my first Cafe Racer. Also my dad always dreamed about custom bike, but he lived in proverty and never had chance to build one, now he is fighting cancer. I belive he will be really happy to see me achieve his dream

[@RACER_TV]

+Kristiano Bertucci Interesting perspective. ou're right about the freedom in designing a motorcycle. But i think you are going to be even more surprised after seeing a very important video. Try to search on youtube for "Run from the cure". I already heard many others talking about this, and it seems it really works. I wish you the best luck for you and your Father. Cheers.

[@ghenadiecadin6759]

+Kristiano Bertucci You can find great Dnepr motorcycles in Moldova :) 999.md/list/transport/motorcycles?applied=1&ef=24&o_24_20=1103

[@RACER_TV]

Oliver Ball Good luck my friend. Cheers.

[@jamesmata2945]

I feel you

[@User6327]

Hey, honey? I'm going to build a fashion statement motorcycle to match my jeans... "But you don't have any mechanical skills..." Oh.. that hasn't stopped anyone yet...

[@RACER_TV]

User6327 Loool.

[@jasonlajoie]

Hilarious. That fits me to a tee.

[@jasonlajoie]

***** Don't let that stop you. It didn't stop me and I'm so happy to have my favorite fashion accessory.

[@jasonlajoie]

***** I'm 6'4" and ride a Honda CB750. I feels fine to me but someone shorter might find it suits their height better. If a 750 feels too tall for you then anything smaller may fit the bill. It depends on what power you want vs how small a bike you want. I know a guy your height who rides a much bigger bike than mine. He's on a 1200cc sport bike and can't touch the ground with both feet. He has to lean the bike a little to get one foot down. You'll have to sit on some bikes and see how you feel.

[@joaosoares3719]

The fact that you came to a cafe racer video to bash cafe racers says a lot about your life.

[@alanlee8018]

Another way to avoid the pain (as I did) is by marrying a woman who loves cars and bikes too.

[@jimpulcine6138]

I just got a 1975 cb 750 k . I' m 55 years old. Because of this video I think I just might make it a cafe racer. I haven't fought with my wife in a long time. This is a good idea, thanks future cafe racer owner.

[@RACER_TV]

Jim Pulcine I'm really glad knowing that my videos are helping others became cafe racer enthusiasts. Thank you for sharing your comment, and good luck for your future Cafe Racer Project. Cheers.

[@Spetznaz666]

Please dont molest a nice 75 CB750. This bullshit fad is just that, a fad. No body in the future will want to buy someones piece of shit chopped up project, but, a pristine 75 CB750... that'll be worth something.

[@sk8rfromGA]

Spetznaz666 No, it won't. Out here in SoCal, aka the motorcycle buying and selling capital of the U.S. (possibly the world), a '75 CB750 sells for about $1500, if it's in REALLY good condition. Café racers will add about another $500, and if really well done, they might take $3000. Basically, old CB's have re - appreciated back to about what they cost new. No more, probably less.

[@Spetznaz666]

Jason Koppelman Aye, I too live in SoCal, and while yes, CURRENTLY cafe raced old CB's go for a higher price, this will not always be so. Cafe racing shit is a pretty recent fad paying homage to when cafe racing a bike was actually practical for weight saving purposes. Given time, I reckon motorcycle enthusiasts wont be looking for cafe raced bikes but originals. It's already hard enough to find a pristine 79 CB750, imagine what it's gonna be like in 20 years after all the nice ones have been cafe'd out...

[@phlodel]

Spetznaz666 New fad?! I was building cafe racers 35 years ago. Sure, it ruins the collector value of a classic bike but I don't have motorcycles for investments, I own them to ride. I will modify any part of a motorcycle that doesn't suit me. The motorcycles I destroyed making them suit my tastes made the rest of their type worth more. You're welcome for that. My cafe racers died screaming, the way motorcycles should. They live on in my fond memories.

[@r.weaver3769]

Yes, after i married my current wife, in 2000, I bought a bike, then she bought herself a bike, then she bought another, I restored a 1981 shovelhead, now we are looking at cafe racers to build rather that just buy, the fun of the build with the shovel really gives you a totally different way of connecting with the bike...plus the satisfaction of giving a bike a second chance at life!

[@RACER_TV]

+R. Weaver Thank you my friend for sharing your comment. You are a very lucky man. Good luck for your future project. Cheers.

[@patrickjan7896]

You have an amazing wife.

[@polpotjay]

I am building a cafe racer, so i came here looking for advice about building one. I didn't find any (since i'm not married yet), but i find GOLD! You, sir, are a champ!

Hello Racer! I live in the US and have been watching your videos for a while. I tried to convince my dad to buy me a donor bike for a project last year but he didn’t believe in me or a 30 year old bike. Now I have raised my own money and am gonna try to convince him to let me buy one for myself. Thanks for the inspiration! Cheers

[@geraldmouse]

I married age 30 in 1979 with the promise from Mary that she will never stop me riding. She hasn't, but my garage now has 4 real bikes and 2 scooters (for donkey-work) and with comments from friends she has started nagging me to reduce to 1 bike. This video has helped me explain that when I die, the bikes are investments that will make her rich!!! All are old, all keep up with 2000HP monsters that are restricted by legal speed limits, that I can usually outperform in corners! I love low bars, low rev growls, torque, pedal sparks in corners and wide-eyed youngsters commenting that they had trouble keeping up in the twisties. Thanks for this as it may help me avoid arguments after her friends tell Mary that I am garbage because they think that the latest fashion dress makes more sense. I recently discovered scooters as I can collect 2 crates of beer as well a weeks shopping in the storage containers while not caring about them on the short ride to work. So, being Saturday, I am off to Cape Reinga on my one owner 1973 650, plastic bag to sleep in and more expected memories than a lifetime of kiddies playing computer games can understand.

[@RACER_TV]

geraldmouse When i made this video, the main goal was to convince viewers buying an old bike for a cafe racer project. I never thought that the video could work in the opposite way.Thank you for sharing your story. I'm glad by knowing this video can be useful in different ways. Cheers.

[@geraldmouse]

RACER TV better than you realise; since seeing you terrific video...We saw a 67 Triumph herald for sale, Mary had memories. I had a look and approved the purchase. Family peace as she can now tell her envious friends where to go and silly dresses are forgotten. Secretly though, I still admire a strong female right leg, leather and a solid right grip like 6.33 mins in your video. :) Ah, dreams :)

[@SJCB27]

...And, of course, Reason 6: Keep your garage floor lubricated! Hilarious video... really cheered me up on a cold, dark, wet, miserable day. Thanks for posting.

[@RACER_TV]

SJCB27 Loool. I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for sharing your comment. Cheers.

[@bobribas]

I own a YAMAHA VMAX 1200cc, I was in love with them since about early 90's, and finnally I grab one. Now I'm retired, but I've motocycling for more than 50 years, had from Honda Cub 50cc, YAMAHA 100cc YL1 Twin Jet, Dt 175, Kawa 250, FJ1200, I also did compete on a Honda two stroke 250cc. About the VMAX I wasn't aware it's front suspension is really challenging as the rest of the handling, heavy, sensitive brakes ...But I love it and will turn it in to a CAFE RACER, thanks for all your tips, maybe I can load some pictures or even videos from it during and after. Here in Costa Rica we are a little short on where to do some things; good that I can purchase some gadgets online. Started watching Racer TV about a Year ago, never tired on enjoying your programs. Thanks!

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you my friend for sharing your experience and story. I wish you the best luck for your project. When you finish your project, Try to send me 1 or 2 photos in a private message on Racer TV 's Facebook Page. :) Saludos.

[@Ultra80s]

The only question a married man should be asking his wife is: Where's my beer?

[@RACER_TV]

Ultra80s Lol.

[@fitztheviking]

too right. makes me howl laughing when my 30+ y/o mates say "pretty pretty please may i spend my pocket money on a bike?" you wanna bike. get one. if she leaves you over it then leather clad women at biker rallys will jump your bones instead.

[@geraldmouse]

fitztheviking I work with some youngsters and they have started to really appreciate my older bikes, filming them on their phones for facebook type contacts. A perfect wife is not easy, a perfect bike is not simple; both add a bit of a challenge and the reward is survival. Who are we without a challenge?

[@fitztheviking]

geraldmouse thats a little deeper than i was going but your right. good one for getting the next gen into classic bikes though.

[@michaelslack5269]

Boom!

[@shaunelliott3759]

My wife is fugkin amazing, she went out and bought me a Yamaha FZR600R 3HE 1991, running, all the expensive stuff in good condition, and the best part is, she only paid £300 delivered, on top of that she got me a new welding helmet, socket set and a case of beer. Why did she do this I hear you ask, birthday, no, simply because she loves me, she tells me I deserve it, because she always comes first (???(think about it)). I'm really sorry but this is going to go back to stock, it's just that good, and to change this into a "Café Racer" would be a sin, and because I already have one. Yet another excellent video, thank you. I also built her a Suzuki GT 380 that she rides like a fuckin banshee.

[@RACER_TV]

Lol. You are a very lucky man. My wife only tolerates my garage with 5 motorcycles. :) Thank you my friend for sharing your story. Cheers.

I have a number of Vintage Honda's and no matter which one I take on any given day, I'm always being waved at or given a thumbs up and at stop lights, people are taking photos and striking up conversations. On occasion, people will follow me just to talk about the bike. There is something to say about a woman who encourages men to go after those bikes. My partner is one of those types, saying, you need to go look at it! I guess I'm one of the fortunate ones. Cheers! Zip~

Loved the video and subscribed! The thing I love about cafe racers is that when your doing the ton, it feels like an accomplishment whereas on a modern sport bike the ton comes up in first or second gear! Jail time speeds in first gear and the thing hasn't started breathing yet! Awesome yes, but cafe racers don't require a track or the shredding of your license to enjoy them. Thanks for posting 😊

David Fernandez Cafe racers are great for zipping about town, but can be uncomfortable for long distance cruising. Also, if you do get an old bike, keep in mind that finding parts can be a real P.I.T.A. Keep in mind what you want a motorcycle for and you'll find the right bike.......

[@RACER_TV]

só por curiosidade. Tenho uma gs 500, ela tem bom potencial para se tornar uma Cafe Racer ? Outra pergunta, qual a sua nacionalidade? Você tem alguém que traduza os videos para você ?

[@RACER_TV]

Viny da GS Olá Viny. Sim, sou 100% Português. Acho que isto já responde há sua pergunta sobre quem faz as traduções. Lol. Em relação à sua GS 500, na prática, quase todas as motos podem ser transformadas em Café Racers. Mas algumas motos são mais fáceis do que outras. O grande problema da GS 500, é o grande reservatório de combustível, e a estrutura do quadro que irá sempre demonstrar que é uma moto moderna. Mas mesmo assim, é possível criar algo bonito. Tente ver alguns projectos de "Mr Martini", e aí verá algumas soluções que podem resultar bem na sua moto. Boa Sorte e um abraço aqui de Portugal.

whoever made this video clearly is married, older, frequently says: "but honey, I wanna go out and ride." and packs his own lunch for work. . . because she makes him.

[@RACER_TV]

I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.

[@redpilllense7125]

Just bought my 1975 Honda CB-550 Cafe Racer 😍

[@RACER_TV]

Congratulations. Good luck for your project. :) Cheers.

[@redpilllense7125]

@@RACER_TV thank you! I appreciate that.

Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.

AWESOME VIDEO!!! Again another great video! I'm sorry for asking you this but I have to because I've been looking in your channel and haven't found it... But, is there a video of your OWN bike? I can't imagine how cool that machine is. You have a fine taste and have the real heart of a biker, so yes I KNOW it's gonna be good. Kind regards from Argentina, friend!

[@RACER_TV]

thesantiso Thanks for your kind words.But i think you are going to be a little disappointed about my cafe racer bike.I'm not a professional bike builder, but i know how to make the best choices according with my mechanical skills. If you look on my chanel for Honda Cb 125 B6 cafe racer, you will find my own bike.Try to see this video: Cafe Racer (Honda CB 125 - Tips for a fun Racer), where i explain why i chose this small bike for my project.Kind regards.

[@ShrapnelACU]

The best motorcycle that I've owned was a 1979 Yamaha XS1100 Special. All that I changed were the handlebars to super-sport bars. I'm desperately looking for another.

[@RACER_TV]

Bryan Hascall I'm sure with time you will find something on the web. Good luck and thanks for sharing your comment. Cheers.

[@DIYskate]

Bryan Hascall Ha! I just bought a 1980 Yamaha XS1100 Special with Cafe inspired plans. It's the oldest, cheapest and most fun bike I've owned out of the four I've had. Good stuff.

[@ShrapnelACU]

I love the special for its round headlght and teardrop tank. If you want it to ride more aggressively, get some supersport bars like I did. Word of warning, if the bike has power, but suddenly drops, and the tone of the engine drops lower. A couple of cyclinders have gone out. You will need to go under the crank cover, and solder some flexible wire to the old leads. The vacuum advance tends to break because the wiring is so old.

[@Kumbanigash]

I love cafe racer style, but what do you mean when say that modern motorcycle don`t has a soul?...just one word to destroy this lie: DUCATI.

[@RACER_TV]

Kumbanigash Your comment just gave me an idea for a new video.I agree with you about the ducati.But when i talk about soul, i meant something more deep. I'm talking about a bike with personality, character, and with some sort of will. Something that talks with the rider when it is with bad or a good mood.Usually, only old vehicles cause a rich experience when are driven. But i'm going to explain this in a future video. Thanks for your comment, and thanks for the question. Cheers.

[@Kumbanigash]

You are right too: SOUL is something deep, but I still believe that another bike styles can show soul and a lot of emotion. Congratulations for your very good vídeos. Go ahead with your great job. You have our support, belive me. Thank you.

[@alfredcen6159]

Interesting video! Looking forward to more coming!

[@alfredcen6159]

I am also planing a Yamaha XJR400 cafe racer project. It is not a hot bike in cafe racer world. So it is kind of hard to find many good examples on internet...

[@FinlandOutdoor]

just get one, and tell your wife that she gets shoes whitout asking you :D

[@RACER_TV]

[@Rocketninja200]

If its what you like the most then ride it and love it. They don't really appeal to me though. You can be cozy on a cruiser and you can haul serious ass on a sportbike, but on a cafe you don't get either.

[@RACER_TV]

+Rocketninja200 You're right. A cafe Racer bike is not for everyone. But as second bike, it can be an excellent choice. Thanks for sharing your opinion. Cheers.

[@RYFABGarage]

.. lol.... its a good vid.. but i wouldn't be making so much money if my clients didn't buy more vintage bikes... always breaking down and the best part is when i tell them things have to be made or parts are not available so they become very expensive,,, also the expectation that their old bike runs like a brand new gsxr. you bought a 40 yr old bike. corrodded, broken wires, barely something ridable. and it will take thousands, if not the same cost of a brand new bike, to make it look bad ass like a magazine bike. powder coated frame, rebuilt engine, new carbs, new bearings, new tires, tons into refinishing work, paint, not to mention all the custom parts.... then you'll have a bad ass setup..... like the image of the ducati s2r in the beginning, that's a 5k bike for starters, add the custom alum tank and tail section lookin at at least 3k without labor... and we haven't even gone through the maintenance of the bike yet...end

[@RACER_TV]

Ryan Arends I understand your comment.I also bought a 40 years old honda Cb, and i had many problems(I still have some) to get it run properly.Fortunately, most of the engine repairs were done by myself, and at the end, it wasn't so expensive as usual is. I Admit that for some people with less experience on mechanics, it would be recommendable buying a more recent bike.Thanks for sharing your opinion/experience. Cheers.

[@ReiNaldoO]

Thank you to make available subtitles in Portuguese.

[@RACER_TV]

Reinaldo Maschio de Andrade Nem precisa de agradecer. É um prazer fazer chegar estes videos a todos os que falam Português. Obrigado pelo comentário. Saudações de Portugal.

[@runalongnowhoney]

Rule #1: Custom bikes are never worth as much as their untouched, well-maintained factory sisters.

[@Orphelian]

Thanks for this video! I'm discovering this interesting world of the Cafe Racers thanks for this channel. I'm a proud and happy owner of a Suzuki Intruder 125cc (A.K.A GN 125), but although I know people like to modify this bike to a plethora of different styles (Cafe Racer being one of then), I want to let my Intruder as it is. So here in Brazil we have the Royal Enfiled Continental GT, so I can buy a brand new Cafe Racer, no modifications required, all working out of the box. I want to know what you guys think about the RE Continental GT, I know that Cafe Racer is a style that people prefer to "get hands dirty", but I'm pretty new on this two-wheel world, I believe buying a brand new bike will be a better experience for me and in the future I could afford a Cafe Racer project, today I have other priorities. Thanks for your all, ride safe!

[@RACER_TV]

Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. Sim, a compra duma nova moto no estilo Cafe Racer, é uma escolha perfeitamente normal e até recomendável para quem não tem tempo/conhecimentos técnicos para alterar uma moto. :) Um abraço.

[@magna59]

In the car market , a figure that gets banded about is , 60% of all energy used in the life of a car is in it ' s construction . So , may be , until it goes bang & spreads all it guts over the road ( and you can convert it to electric ) , the longer you keep it running the greener it gets . So get your spanners out and a barn find & run greener that just pushing money into the hands of a dealer in new !

[@Darthbelal]

Hell, if wifey poo can order expensive tools for me and have home decor arrive instead, I can order great home decor for her and have motorcycle parts arrive instead. Cafe racers CAN BE, light, nimble, COMFORTABLE and responsive. They'll get you to that point of interest you've been wanting to see and then you decide whether it's worth spending time there or to get back on the open road and enjoy the Ton-Up attitude of your bike....

[@SquireWhipple]

The computer generated voice-over is unsettling. How hard would it be to get a human being to just read the script?

[@RACER_TV]

+SquireWhipple Sorry to hear that, but things are more complicated than you may think. I use this "robotic" voice, because i'm Portuguese, and my bad english accent (and voice), can ruin the documentary character that i like for my videos. I already tried a real american voice in one of my videos, but things didn't worked as i expected. Believe it or not, the robotic voice sounds very good for all non english natives. Thanks for your comment. Cheers.

[@berkeleygang1834]

My biggest obstacle is my wife, but I don't think it's for the usual reasons. Her objection is there's no pillion on these things for her to ride with me. So, I guess it's going to be a dedicated commuter bike. LOL

[@RACER_TV]

***** Well, there are always a solution for that.You can build a Tracker or a Scrambler.And if you really want a Cafe Racer, Check this link on ebay. I'm sure you will love it.

This video was all I needed.... :D

Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.

[@Rihyaruto]

Could you upload this video but without the funny parts from movies and series? I just love the feel of the video with just the correct music chosen for the bikes pictured!

[@RACER_TV]

Rihyaruto I will see what i can do, and i let you know when i finished the video.

[@Rihyaruto]

RACER TV I hope you can because there is an awsome job behind the humorous scenes

[@danilocapellan1316]

Excelente vídeo. 👍🏼😄

[@APMMoises]

nice video, but I have big question. it's a good idea to star with one of these motorcycles? I say it because I'm 20 and I not to "strong" so it's is good idea? good vibes from cancun mexico

[@RACER_TV]

+APM Moises Thank you. A cafe racer bike doesn't need to be a strong and big bike. If you are looking for a small cafe racer, you can choose a 125 cc or even a 250 cc. I recommend you to see my latest video about the Honda Cb 125. Search for " Cafe Racer (Honda CB 125 - "The Spark" of 50.000 Subscribers)". I'm sure you will like it. Saludos.

[@debajyotichanda4741]
