Cafe Racer - Ducati Scrambler by Kei Kishimoto(@kei_ragnars)

[@apistosig4173]

"I" am a difficult man to please - and I am a Ducati man - I have tried to find criticism here, with the final build, but I cannot. Wonderful!

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you "difficult man". Lol. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.

[@Jaeintebitter]

I really liked this episode. It showed that you do not have to build anything extreme to have a cafe racer. It is enough to just modify small things until you have a perfect motorcycle. Good work by the owner! And as usual well done with a good episode!

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@uroshavalon]

There are so few motorcycles which handling is so easy as Ducati's is. If he retained that front geometry then factory models just faint in a beauty of this example. And previous versions are in reality just phases of a development process. Thank you Victor. Another amazing project brought to us.

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Cheers.

[@lylemacdonald6672]

The matching helmet is a nice touch. I do think this bike would look even better if it was in my garage! I might then change out the wheels to laced versions. I think cafe racers almost always look better with traditional spoked wheels. Nice simple build. You are really killing it in 2022 with the bikes you have chosen to showcase. 🇨🇦

[@RACER_TV]

Lol. Thank you Lyle for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.

[@Dan-56]

If you have never failed at anything, you have never truly tried to do your best. Beautiful bike 🏍👍!

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@magicmostard3863]

Wow what an Italian beauty. The evolution 5 is absolutely I highlight of significant personal instinct for details, bringing them to simple perfection. This guy has not only an eye for a picture but also for motocycles in cafe racer style. Black Italian beauty from a japon, simply beautiful! Get job man!

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@carlosgooglemaps94]

I can see his passion, stunning final product, isn’t easy to make a proper cafe racer with a Ducati as a donor bike, great job Victor!!

[@RACER_TV]

Yes, it is hard to transform Most Ducatis. This is definitely one of the most beautiful i even seen in a long time. Thank you Carlos for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

This Ducati is an excellent example that demonstrates the evolution of a build through the process. It is indeed a very nice bike! And, as always, thank you for Racer TV, the Café Racers only choice! Hope all is well with you and your family. Cheers:)

[@RACER_TV]

Yes, The build evolution was also one of the reasons why i chose this bike for a new video. Everything is great here. Especially now that the fuel prices are going to be reduced by 20 cents per liter. Lol. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. Have a nice weekend. :) Cheers.

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

@@RACER_TV …. Locally, here in Middle Tennessee, USA, we are basically at $1US per liter.

[@RACER_TV]

@Willy's Performance Cycle Center wooow, now I know why Americans use such big engines on cars. Here in Portugal, 1 liter of Petrol costs arround 2 euros. In compensation, my car has 190 hp, and the consumption is around 5.2 liters/100km. (45.23 U.S. MPG) :)

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

@@RACER_TV …. I understand… but, this is the highest our gasoline has been in years! In the fall of 2020, our gasoline was at ~.50¢US per liter! It’s gone up again in the last week!!!

We all learn from lessons in life, persistence, and determination will drive us, but at the end of the day, looking at the big picture will get us there. Good video, once again.

[@FunWithAJ]

He actually didn't build the bike himself he had the work done by several shops. I've asked him before and he gave me the shop names. He definitely had say and vision but it's a bit deceptive to say he did the work.

[@bjelliott2887]

I prefer the look of the first rendition the best, but without the front cowl.

[@pabloacosta1630]

What a beauty. I am in love

[@alejmonzon]

There is something false in the Ducati scrambler, in Mexico at least it comes with an 1100 cc engine. Certainly something huge for a scrambler motorcycle, originally designed to go out of the city and on unpaved roads. It's not a scrambler. That is why by removing all the falsehood from a design and freeing the monster and placing it where it belongs, which is the urban environment and paved roads, a design emerges according to an engine that is designed to go from one cafe to another on circular avenues. of a big city. How this thing we call cafe racer arose in its time. I like what was achieved on this bike.

[@mszz01]

I am also ducati scr cafe owner in Taiwan. It is very nice bike. Video is very good.

[@germanh.robledo4917]

Claro que sí, al no tener un taller especialmente para construir obras de artes lo hacemos de apoco, así construí mi cafe racer, pero particularmente creo que es la forma más adecuada, en cuanto al concepto, una moto norma que intentas sea una máquina de carreras. Saludos exelente video.

[@stevefox8605]

Yeah, that's properly stunning. Love it!! Thank you 😍👍👍

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you Steve for sharing your opinion. I'm glad you liked :) Cheers.

[@xtremluck6260]

This episode demonstrates what ever builder will experience. Doesn't matter if your an experience builder or a beginner. Each will face failure in some sort of way. It's only when you quit trying, that you become a pessimistic failure with your build. Otherwise, a failure is just an advance exercise to the optimistic builder. Kei Kishimoto fits into the latter and demonstrated that 4 times. For that reason his Ducati Scrambler benefited on Instagram with Likes and he's able to showcase his achievements on Racer TV. With any luck, we'll get to see another Kei creation here on Racer TV.

[@RACER_TV]

Lol. Indeed. I am very glad for finding this project on Instagram. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.

Kei also mentioned that he wasn't happy with where the headlights height sat. It is mounted slightly higher than the frames horizontal line and it bothered him

[@rogerthat10-47]

Once again another spectacular bike, & it shows what I always say when asked "Is it finished" No, they are never finished, but it will do for now, each one looked good, but he was honest with himself about what could be improved upon, far too many people try to put every single thing they have ever seen on one bike & it looks a f#ckin mess, here we have a bike that has evolved because he has lived with it until the faults stand out, my own bike came along in a similar way, it's called "A State of Flux" I doubt it will ever be finished, but that suits me fine, I love building them just as much as riding them. Thank you once again, The Best of 22 is going to be a hard fought win.

[@kirkbasto2662]

Don’t check this guys Instagram, he never answers a single question of where he gets the parts,

Yup its because a shop did the build for him and not himself. The video seems to lie and say otherwise

it's a pity it's not a real voice because the content is good. it's missing humanity on this channel

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. Unfortunately, things are more complicated than most people may think. I use this "robotic" voice created by software, 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 British voice in one of my videos, and, surprisingly, almost everyone hated it. Curiously, the robotic voice sounds realy very good for to non-English natives. :) Cheers.

[@ducatireviews1136]

No, this is the artificial nonhuman made text to speech narrative. I’m going to press the pause button on the back button. Because I don’t listen to videos with non-human narratives, despite having just uploaded a video just as crap as this myself. The narrative and whoever made it has never ridden one of these babes probably never seen one and doesn’t have a clue about what it’s like to drive one so I wouldn’t take this review seriously. I do have 2 scramblers,an 848 street fighter and two 795 monsters and two MV Agusta brutale. this lazy KZbinr in his automated narrative says he knows the bike is good because of the number of likes on Instagram. Those are idiots so don’t understand bikes and they’re just looking at this aesthetics. If you wanna know what these bikes are really like take it from a long-term or a review. I’ll be publishing some soon this channel of mine. The success of the bike on social major is due to bots posting positive likes reviews and thumbs up for Amazon has just been caught doing the same to Twitter using botnet making . He buys them from a guy in Thailand and import them to Japan. Pretends he made them himself.

[@ducatireviews1136]

you need to notice or mention that the front forks have been shortened about1.5 inches 😅as well. you say the rear seems too high so drop the bloody back shock from setting five to setting one and you’ll get about nearly 2 inches lower seat tight. What’s crazy for me is the scrambler as they like to call this bike does not have an 18 inch rear and 17 inch front wheel, it has an 18 inch rear wheel and 19 or 21 inch front wheel. Secondly, to put clip on on a scrambler and try to make a café racer out of it, and make the front wheel smaller than the big one, all I can say is that it has as much to do with the scrambler, as my left toenail has to do with Donald Trump‘ssexual organ. These custom project 'artists' don’t make anything themselves. They just buy components from different manufacturers. I have a very expensive one only in the world, custom bike from Diablo and K speed, and it’s great. It’s a Japanese brat bike from Diablo. Designed by K- speed Thailand. but they know this about all of these customs is there’s one main theory behind them if you’re going to sell them. And it goes like this; remove all of the components that are the most expensive such as the hydraulic clutch and the Brembo brakes and the original pipes and various of things, including the Perelli tires of the Perelli scorpions. Swap the whales for normal easy to rust iron wheels that you paint black paint the spokes as well because if not, they’re going to rust, and put some really thin, cheap saw tooth tires on it… so basically take all the most expensive components off, sell them on the secondhand market, strip down anything you don’t need and keep it for yourself and swap what we’re good components for shitty ones. And sell it twice the price of a normal Ducati with half of the quality parts removed. That’s Thailand custom bike anyway. there is no such thing as a scrambler that is a café racer and there is no café racer. That is a scrambler. The same way that there is no Formula One racing car that is a Humver, for going up the bloody mountain. I mean seriously this bag is meant for driving in the city. Just look at the tires they’re not even knobblies! they are purely road tires you find a bit of gravel, some mud, some potholes and some stones and you’re gonna be in trouble with those click on and shorten front forks in the 17 inch front wheel instead of a 19 inch one and Perelli Rosso instead of Pirelli scorpion. Ross is for the track scorpion is for off-road. This bike was never meant to take off road. Although with the Honda wave in Thailand, we already do things that most beginner first time review is bikes like this too would say “it’s not bad he can do a bit of off-road stuff” to laugh my ass off because you can do a lot of off-road stuff on 100 and 800 cc Ducati. Which proves that the millennial kids were born, never knowing that bikes didn’t used to have an ABS, didn’t have a injection rather a carburetor, that you maintained your own bike by opening the magneto cover and cleaning the points with a matchbox, and you use the screwdriver to alter the idol speed on the carburetor with a little screw that was on the side. And use some screws with your blank and clutch cables to manually adjust them just how you like. For years and years. All of a sudden they sell you bikes with loads of sensors and your bike keeps switching off for giving you warnings or doing weird things. Not that there’s anything wrong with the clutch or the break or anything. It’s just a sensors, reading a false positive. Which is why I’ve removed the clutch sensors on most of my bikes because again on my tits they switched the engine off when you’re driving because they think that your clutch isn’t properly disengaged or engaged, which is completely wrong. It is. It’s just the stupid sensor.

[@ducatireviews1136]

how come when he drives off he using Pirelli scorpions but in the pictures you’re showing he’s using Pirelli Rosso tires? Looks like this is a collage of unrelated bikes from unrelated people stitch together with the computer voice narrative that should be deleted from KZbin because it’s a lot of crap and it’s a review made by somebody who has absolutely no knowledge about the bike and doesn’t own one and has never written one so shut up and leave it to us the owners and riders to tell people, what they are really like. yeah that dude as you say he’s not a professional builder. He buys all the components and he pays somebody to put it together for him. It’s just somebody with money like many Japanese customers we sent bikes to from Thailand….. that’s about three custom bike artists here who sells Japan very expensive after they removed the expensive component and replace them with crap very cool looking crap but crap.. You should have a look at my custom projects because they beat the ass off this one.
