Cafe Racer (Honda CB 750 Wolf and Evil Crow by Hookie Co)

[@icecreamtruckog3667]

Building a cafe racer is in it's essence making a custom styled race bike that you will like to ride and the logic for cafe racer people was originally to lighten and make their bikes more powerful with what they had available. So today using carbon fiber rims, drive by wire tech or any new things that didn't exist before is totally OK, I mean this is your bike, do what you want, what ever other people think is their problem as long as you are happy and the bike puts a smile on your face every time you see or ride it.

[@johnjaeger4804]

The quality of your videos is always on par with the quality of the projects. The builders must be proud to have their work displayed by the Cafe Racer channel. Excellent as always.

[@RACER_TV]

I hope so. :) Thank you my friend for your very kind words. I appreciate your support. :) Cheers.

[@faheemsaiyed8094]

5:56 that rear part of seat on wolf looks just wow and the feathers of Crow

[@edwardkay3193]

It's always nice to listen to some technicalities that affects decisions and outcomes.

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.

[@volkerrachow7230]

Thank you for the Video. I‘m the owner of the crow and it’s really fun to See my bike in one of your videos :).

[@RACER_TV]

@Tattoo Facts You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. And congratulations on your machine. It is beautiful. Cheers. :)

[@luisr320]

Volker, that bike is just gorgeous. I have a CB 750 K on my garage and couldn't decide on what to do with it. Suddenly all my doubts cleared away. I'm sure I won't be able to replicate the workmanship but I will definitely try. I have a couple of questions though. Where is the battery located? Under the swing arm? Where did you get the seat from, where did you get the shorter top tube of the suspension and finally, where did you get the exhaust from.

[@luisr320]

Ok, after a more thorough investigation, I found out almost all the answer to my questions. Wish I could do all the work myself but changing the fuel tank will not be easy.

[@lukasgarage956]

I could flip a coin and be happy with either bike.......awesome builds.

[@MidniteSan]

What a project indeed..just about perfect. Can't wait to see more..

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@francisesmero9955]

hoping to build my first cafe racer, and I really lovin' the design of Evil Crow, specially the tail led light. they all look stunnin'

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@cynthiaayers7696]

The CB750E. Can be built up too, a 1000cc. My husband had a 1970, built into an 836cc on a Denver chopper frame/ hardtail. Man that bike would move out! You could do a 130 in a heartbeat.

[@somyajitnath6303]

I like that xx-intro in the background

[@flohweerts8027]

Oh yeah me too. After some seconds i realised :)

[@alejmonzon]

Definitely The Wolf is the bike that made my heart beat faster. Not that The Crow was a bad project, on the contrary, it's great. But the menacing appearance of The Wolf and the inverted front suspension create a retro and futuristic look, like a motorbike departing from the city created by Fritz Lang: Metropolis, A motorcycle of a modern world, but aesthetically old, like walking through that neighborhood of Mexico City built almost entirely in Art Deco buildings, what was modern in 1920-30 is classic today. I like everything, because one of the ideas I have for my Suzuki - GS 650 L - 1982 is an inverted suspension. The color will of course be black. A lot of inspiration to take into account. Excellent projects, great video

[@Frankies95]

Great song choice and great video as always!

[@templemore85]

I have to admit, what first drew me to your videos is your unique and amazing voice. But the projects you choose to highlight are in general, outstanding. Your visual production is absolutely brilliant. Love the channel. Love the projects.

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you my friend for all your kind words. I appreciate your support. :) Cheers.

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

Excellent description of these two very different projects. And, as always, thank you for Racer TV, the Café Racers only choice! Ride safe my friend.

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@elisoncunha..2131]

I'm a fan of these projects, and I hope to have my bike in the near future

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@monsterMike62]

My "vote" is for the Evil Crow. Of the many Racer TV videos I've enjoyed, this is the first one where I disagree with one of your comments. The statement that the Comstars are of a certain era and don't lend themselves aesthetically for use with the inverted forks, applies more true to spoked wheels paired with inverted forks. IMHO, THAT combination is more suited for use on dirtbikes. Using the same logic, the inverted forks are closer in time to the more modern engine and Comstar wheels of the Evil Crow than the older engine and spoked wheels of the Wolf.

[@RACER_TV]

No problem. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.

[@roksva3861]

Dude, Wolf for life.

[@MotoMango]

Best donor bikes for custom builds imo. Such a beautiful project :)

[@RACER_TV]

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

The painted feathers are nice and subtle, and they also tie in to the Honda wing symbol 👍😉

[@carlosgooglemaps94]

Two beauty’s but if I have to choose then The Wolf is my pick but I’ ll be more than happy with the Crow!!, nice work Victor!!!

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you my friend Carlos for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.

[@brysonfrank6476]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! the xx AND CAFERACERTV!!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOO!!! AND I WATCHED ENDGAME TODAY!!! WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY!!!!

[@brysonfrank6476]

PS The upside down forks and the tires are a bit of an oxymoron.

[@alexdacosta8506]

uma mistura do moderno com o clássico, faz lembrar do romeu e julieta (doce de uva com queijo ricota), uma combinação excelente e um delicioso sabor...apenas uma metáfora, mas o sentido da combinação é magnifica.

[@RACER_TV]

Sem duvida. Eu tambem adoro misturar Marmelada com queijo. Boa metáfora amigo. :) Um abraço.

[@helioerg5402]

Caro amigo, boa noite! A Honda 750 é, para mim, um icone. Assim, qualquer projeto baseado nela me interessa. Dois então.... Se fosse para escolher, prefiro a Wolf com suas sutilezas, mas qualquer uma das duas teria lugar de destaque nas minha garagem. Interessantes as abordagens, clássico e moderno, cromados e tudo negro. Fantástico!!!

[@pauloracermoby4496]

[@Tobeon2]

What a beautiful bike!! Wow!!

[@kabeemer]

Love the older 750

[@AlexcasaCVC]

Surprisingly, I like the complication of the DOHC lines on the engine, but probably because it's painted black, making it more stealth. Amazing bikes, I'd like to hear their scream...

[@LilMissMurder3409]

Beautiful motorcycles and a lovely video. Thank you

[@RACER_TV]

You are welcome. My pleasure. Cheers.

*Difícil escolher, mas entre Lobo e corvo fiquei com o pequeno grande detalhe das penas do corvo branco que se destacaram.*

[@RACER_TV]

Obrigado amigo fernando por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.

[@quanle545]

Great video, thanks Racer TV

[@martinjefferies666]

Great video as always and a good explanation of the component choice rational. Personally I think the comstars are ugly and spoil any project. In the 80's I raced Yamaha TZ350's and always used Astralight wheels. Similar construction to comstars but much neater with cleaner lines and all alluminium parts so nearly as light as Dymags at a fraction of the price but I've never seen them on a cafe racer except for a friends Laverda Jota

[@RACER_TV]

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

I really want to have a cafe racer. aside from classic looks, it also fits to my height because I'm only 5'3. I wish I could have one of those. I heard from other fans of cafe racer that this fike is kind of pricy and I don't have money to buy one.

Love the video but the digital voice is horrible.

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you, but 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 American voice in one of my videos, but things didn't work as I expected. Curiously, the robotic voice sounds very good for all non-English natives. Cheers.

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

RACER TV The voice is ok. I have been wondering about the origin and now I know. Besides, it’s the bikes that should be in focus - not the narration.

Has anyone heard of a brand called Dong Fang coming out of China? The company is producing 250cc Cafe racer's for $1700 (in US currency). Just wanting to know if it's worth the price...

Try to avoid buying bikes only because they are cheap. Most times it is better to spend a bit more, and buying the right motorcycle. :) Cheers.

You like to sound momentous, but you should learn to temper your enthusiasm with authenticity. There is an old saying in English "you cannot turn a sow's ear into a silk purse". These bikes were utter pieces of crap to ride and always will be. It appears that you, also, will always be unable to appreciate what a motorbike is about, no matter how highly you evaluate your opinions on shallow styling.
