Cafe Racer (Honda CX 500 by Geert Verwimp)

(Subtitles available in 30 languages)
At the request of many of the followers of this Channel, I finally present a homemade project.
The most interesting thing, is that it seems to have been inspired by 2 of the most beautiful Honda CX cafe racer that have ever appeared on this channel.
I am referring to the Honda CX by Sacha Lakic Design(Blacktrack Motors), and the Honda CX by Tossa R.
This stunning custom propject, was built in Belgium by Geert Verwimp.
But the current owner of this Honda CX, is Chris Paulissen, currently living in Hungary.
I hope you like it.
My special thanks to Pedro Torres, for his great help with my English.
The the current owner of this Honda CX, is also one of the administrators of the Facebook Group "CAFE RACER & VINTAGE MOTORCYCLES".

Thank you for the great video and comments. ❤

You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Cheers. And thank Geert very much for letting me use your photos in this video. Without them, this video could not exist. :) Cheers.

[@uroshavalon]

CX is a real beauty, that central engine block gives a kind of challenge to create around it. You're lucky to have one. Thank you as always.

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@hitscanner]

Oh yes! That living room. Dream! I would happily live in a huge garage with a bed in the corner! And that CX by Tossa R - sublime.

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@andrewhall836]

Oh I do like that ... and I'm not usually a CX fan! I can see the inspiration that has come from other CXs as mentioned. The rear monoshock is very cleverly done, utilising the twin shock mounts. A good use of "recycling" and repurposing the brackets that were there!! I must mention that the voice is spot on again this time!! And Yes, you will see me on the next video. L&R From Down Under

I was away from my city for three weeks in a disaster area that is being attended to, which is why I had not seen this video and I agree with its origins. The Honda CX 500 was little appreciated in its time but it is having and will surely continue to have new rebirths. It is a difficult motorcycle to modify, but with an engine that one cannot stop looking at, it is simply raw material for dreaming, as can be seen in this project. Now I am at home, recovering from a 12-hour bus ride and weeks of intense work. Tomorrow, more rested, I will turn on my motorcycle to go report to my bosses, normal life: dreaming about motorcycles, traveling on motorcycles, loving motorcycles. A very beautiful project

[@RACER_TV]

@alejmonzon Hello my Friend. As usual, your words about this CX/project are spot on. I agree with everything you said. I'm sorry to hear you had a hard time. Sorry to ask, but what happened there?

[@alejmonzon]

@@RACER_TV Hurricane Otis Category 5 (EHSS) October 22, 2023 - October 25, 2023. On that date a tremendous phenomenon hit the port of Acapulco in the Pacific Ocean. Never in the history of hurricanes in Mexico has a category 5 hurricane occurred, a product of global warming. It was so powerful that it crossed a high mountain range that surrounds the bay. A survivor told me, Do you know Niagara Falls? I told him that only in a photo, and he told me, well, what he saw in the photo affected many neighborhoods. I don't know how we're alive, but we lost everything. This is my second trip there. The current leftist government of Mexico decided for the first time in history to serve poor people and not tourist hotels. It has been intense work so that people do not suffer after what happened to them, I plan to go again soon. The reconstruction is an authentic social miracle. I am a motorcyclist, but first I am a citizen

[@RACER_TV]

@alejmonzon I am really sorry to hear that. I sincerely hope that everyone left behind by this catastrophe recovers quickly. Good luck to everyone. un gran abrazo

[@alejmonzon]

@@RACER_TV Gracias amigo Global warming is a serious matter, even in countries that do not suffer from hurricanes, but that have coasts. Years ago, a similar phenomenon destroyed entire areas of the city of New Orleans as happened now in Acapulco and penetrated many kilometers into the continent. Due to its trajectory it could have reached New York, but it changed its course to the coasts of Louisiana. They are more violent and unpredictable now.

I have Cx`s too. My taste in custom this is a little bit different. This monoshock and this free rear wheel is not my taste. But no matter, it`s an awesome job!!! The only thing what`s not so nice is, that this bike looks so so mini when the owner sits on it. It`s more like one of this oversized poketbikes.😉 Maybe it`s because this guy is a little bit taler then the average guys i know 😉 Well, thank you for this video on a rainy and cloudy good friday. All best wishes and have a nice easter. And don`t forget " DGR " this year !!!! 😍

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. Acredito que a grande vantagem do roncar da Frankenstein, é ser o motor 650. Já ouvi o mesmo escape numa CX500, e embora seja muito semelhante, na CX500 falta-lhe algum nervosismo na subida de rotação, parecendo um motor preso. :) Um abraço

[@user-ib3lt2xv2g]

@@RACER_TV É interessante que tenha montado o escape no 500. Pena que celui-ci não canta tão bem quanto no seu! A pergunta que sempre me fiz sobre o 650 é se ele era tão confiável quanto o 500 ?!

[@RACER_TV]

@user-ib3lt2xv2g Essa pergunta sobre a fiabilidade é bastante pertinente. Na realidade, sempre ouvi dizer que a 650 é ainda mais fiável do que a 500, porque a 650 só foi produzida nos últimos anos de existência da série CX. Ou seja, todos os pequenos problemas que os motores da CX 500 tinha, foram solucionados no motor 650. Aproveito para deixar aqui um link para um video muito interessante sobre o roncar da CX500 com os mesmos escapes(e inspiração) da minha Frankenstein. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppjFlZx-gpiUg8k Um abraço

JAJAJAJA, precisamente para muchos de los que estamos en el 1,90 ó más todavía el problema está en que la moto no se vea minúscula en proporción. Pero se entiende el entusiamo de Geert, el motor CX Honda seduce y da maravillosamente como base para una cafe Racer aunque para montarle suspensiones y frenos de tanta calidad mejor con el motor de mayor capacidad CX 650cc, claro, ¡O el modelo Turbo!, aunque por estos últimos ya te piden un dineral, si es que lo encuentras...Por cierto, qué belleza de tija.

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. The Turbo version is too valuable and rare for a cafe racer project. That's why I always recommend the CX 650. With some changes to the carburetors, the bike will have more than enough power to satisfy most people. :) Saludos

€55000 for a CX500! Some people substitute brains with money 🤣🤣🤣

[@RACER_TV]

@_sneer_ Yes, i understand your perspective. And the overwhelming majority of people also think the same way. But we have to consider that there are some people who are so rich, that they can afford to pay any price just to have something exclusive. This is a very restricted market, but it exists. Cheers.

[@_sneer_]

@@RACER_TV existence of the market does not mean that it is not stupid. This is utterly stupid. People with money and no brain whatsoever. It is a CX 500. Bike so bad, boring, cheap and unliked that poor people started chopping it to at least make a turd in shiny wrapping, out of a plain turd, when they couldn’t afford anything better. You can buy a Brough Superior or a good Vincent for that kind of money. Not to mention a Ducati 999R, 916 and a few of other, significant from the point of view of motorcycling history, bikes. Or even a good base, or a few of them, for a proper cafe racer and make it astonishing. CX 500 for that kind of money is a total lack of taste. Seemingly no amount of money can buy brain, IQ and taste. If anyone buys a CX 500 for €55000 they are a tasteless idiot, nothing more. And the scammer that builds and sells them for that amount is just a parasite on the community. TBH, you should not promote that kind of expensive abomination and bad taste on your channel, which is one of more significant and influential ones in cafe racer community BTW. There are many more respectable builds out there, not just expensive, but it is your channel and you decide what you want on it. It is just a bit disappointing that it may turn into an idiot rich boy toy store and advertisement.

[@_sneer_]

@@RACER_TV Did you remove my earlier reply? I was saying that the CX 500 was always considered a dud. Slow, ugly, and undesirable. The reason people started making cafe racers out of them was because they were cheap, easy to convert, and it would improve the bike. A €55000 CX 500 market is not wise from a financial, engineering, or basically any point of view. It is just for people with much more money than brains. I am slightly disappointed that such an influential and popular cafe racer channel promotes rich boy toys instead of engineering and stylistic innovation and ingenuity.

[@RACER_TV]

@_sneer_ Hello. I never remove comments from my videos. But I don't remember reading your following comment. In relation to what you say about the CX 500, I recognize that it is a relatively stuck engine. For that reason, I chose the CX650 for my cafe racer project. And I can guarantee you that the 650 has another soul. The engine's roar is beautiful, reaching 207 km/h. Although you give more importance to the bike's performance for any cafe racer project, there are many people who think differently. And that's a large part of this channel's audience. The purist vision about what a real Cafe Racer has to be(or was), is not accepted by everyone. I already talked about this matter in other videos. Personaly, I think nowadays the original purpose of old/new motorcycles customized like the original Cafe Racers, does not make sense anymore. If we follow the pure perspective of those Cafe Racers, we would end with something similar to a modern Yamaha R1. And this means that this rebirth of the "cafe racer" scene, must have a different approach. :) But thank you for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.

[@_sneer_]

@@RACER_TV Well, to me, it is not simply a matter of opinion. I would think that operating something else under a name that means something else is misleading. Maybe not intentionally, but still misleading. Hence my ridicule of a €55,000 CX 500 as a “cafe racer.” It should have no place at all. It is just a guy buying a cheap, undesirable bike and selling it for probably 55 times the original purchase price after making just a couple of mostly cosmetic changes. This is a scam, and even if some people don’t see it as a scam, it does not stop it from becoming one. It is quite similar to new motorcycle prices in Europe and probably the US as well. An upper-midrange Triumph costs a couple of thousand euros less in Japan than in the UK, where it comes from. A brand new 25th-anniversary Hayabusa costs €13,500 from an authorized dealer in Japan. In European countries, it costs more than €20,000. The same goes for cars, which are about half the European price in Japan. No CX 500 is worth €55,000. That value is artificially inflated only to extract more money from unsuspecting buyers. Then there is naming. You can’t say that a mule with a racing saddle suddenly becomes a racehorse. Similarly, a CX 500 does not become a cafe racer just by making it look like one. It is a custom bike that just pretends to be a racer. An imitation. And certainly, an imitation CX 500 should not cost €55,000. I can easily build you one for half that price, and it will perform like a modern sports bike of similar capacity, and I would still make about €10,000 on it. I know that because I built championship-winning race bikes for a living. One thing is building a bike you would like with what you have available and making the most of it, but spending €55,000 on a CX 500 is just nuts, no matter what your budget is.

Cafe racers can be beautiful bikes, but why would you want to turn a CX one? Sure, they're about as reliable as any bike has ever been, but it's a bloody CX!?!? Café racers are known for their speed and handling. Sure, the way the bike is set up, I don't doubt that it threads the needle. But speed...or lack thereof!?! TBH, I'd have chosen any other bike than the CX. Turning one into a café racer is a pain in the arse, too! Significant portions of the frame is pressed sheet steel, not welded tubing, adding loads more weight. Each to his own, I guess...... BUT A BLOODY CX!!! 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️😉👍🏼

Simple answer: You build a CX because they sound cool, and that will make you happy even if you're going slow and straight.

Yes I do. There is nothing wrong with hearing an artificial voice, as long as it sounds nice. The upgrade disturbs me, especially the first and last sentence, which frame your work.

@RACER_TV Hello again. Sorry for my late response, but I just got back from a 1 week vacation. Believe it or not, the voice you hear in my videos is not real. 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. The good news is that since the beginning of this year, I have improved the artificial voice with the application of Artificial Intelligence, making it very realistic in the emotion with which it speaks every word. I'm glad you like it. Thank you. :) You too.
