Cafe Racer (Yamaha SR 400 by Zeus Custom)

[@farsight73]

Zeus Custom is one of the most decorated name in Southeast Asia. Really love how they can make any bike looks stunning and you can immediately tell it comes from Zeus Custom work.

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@ZEUS-eg8jw]

😮 Zeus what ...?

[@Reverendos]

Little things, little components make a great bike. A wonderful eternal motorcycle. With soul. With spirit. Fascinating.

[@andrewbull3537]

Zeus are soon going to be world famous. Their bikes are outstandingly brilliant 👏

[@alceuferreira4562]

Que moto mais linda, parece simples, funcional, rápida e com visual despojado, da vontade de sair pilotando sem rumo!

[@robertalameda]

Zeus is one of the best cafe racer custom designers in the world. I like his vision of what he can do with any bike.

❤️❤️ Zeus Customs have a passion about Cafe Racer style

O tipo de projeto que relembra o inicio da nova onda cafe racer, lá por 2004, 2005. Gosto muito dessa pegada.

Excellent example of a classic SR400 based cafe racer, brilliantly executed.

I have one of these bikes (2014) but these have been in continuous production since 1978 so yes they Are timeless.

It is like when you see a good movie based on the past, the magic comes from the fact that you can't tell when it has been done, you just can apreciate the good production. A good clasic looking machine is timeless. Saludos!

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

[@johnjaeger4804]

It's great to see an individual cafe racer.... and also very interesting to see the variety of builds from Zeus (and other builders) to show their range of creativity/ability... and over time, so see how their skills improved. As always, thank you Sir!

[@blacksheep6888]

Cafe racers are way cool, always wanted to put a sportster engine into an English frame. Now that I am older I bought a Kawasaki w800 Cafe. My next thing to do is to make my own from an old Japanese machine, not sure yet what bike but I will know when I see it. Old school has soul new school is plastic fantastic. Great video gives me inspiration and great advice. Wish I could have been a Rocker but I am glad to be a ton up boy.

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@Janhartman74]

So much more character then those new plastic bikes. Love this simple project.

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@ArtwithAbhi]

Awesome I have cruiser from past 8 years But always wanted a Cafe racer because of its simplicity Great video as always

[@georgemcmillan9172]

When I was younger, I bought in to the "big and flashy" mindset. In my older years, simple became the rule. Chrome and paint won't get you home. Zeus custom has their finger on the pulse of what a Cafe Racer should be...

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@georgemcmillan9172]

@Peter Evan, and what is the context you are trying to relate to this thread, might I ask?

[@edwardkay3193]

Yes, simplicity done properly can look stunning. I'll have to visit him 1 day. Hope he works like Apollo and doesn't charge like Plutus though.

[@caferacer3539]

Yep, the kickstarter was the considerable reason for the choosing my current motorcycle

[@Translitero]

Amazing! Perfeitas observações sobre montar o próprio projeto.. tempo, dinheiro, objetivo! Continue! Aguardando a próxima semana!

[@RACER_TV]

Obrigado amigo pelo simpático comentário. :) Um abraço.

[@renatovaljean8171]

Keep it simple! that phrase is the essence of the Cafe Racer ... another project that proves it even more is the one of Honda Cb450 Twin year 1972 from Crooked Motorcycles. So I hope you take my comment to make a video. Greetings and excellent channel keep it up.

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. The Honda Cb450 Twin is beautiful. But personally, I would love to see it with a shorter front suspension, and the seat a bit longer. But thank you for the sugestion :) Cheers.

[@gametime7441]

i had also started my own cafe racer, im inspired by your videos 👌

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@SilverShadow2LWB]

Another nice project by Zeus. Thanks. Most of his projects look similar and they put one in that cafe racer position. For me, it is not the ideal posture for medium to longer rides. Maybe around town, or a riders exposition, but I find it not ergonomically feasible for practicality. As far as just looks and not riding engineering....looks great.

[@RACER_TV]

Yes, cafe racer motorcycles are not appropriate for long trips. But even so, I already made 400 km trips in one day on my Honda CX 650 cafe racer, and all I can say, it is possible. :) Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.

[@SLB4523]

The 500 was a fabulous engine. Although it wasn’t counterbalanced, I tricked one up with White Power components , poured $3000 (AU) into it, and surprised the shit out of many larger current model sportbikes( this was around ‘92-93). The rest of the bike was a bit ratty, as I started on the motor first and it was a daily ride/ custom build concurrently. But she was my favourite of all the bikes I’ve had, and not much beat me through the Adelaide Hills twisties. Scary fast in a straight line as well. And it revved hard , by the stock tacho over 8000, but felt like a giant sewing machine! My wife said it felt like riding a V8 motor. To put it into context, it held it’s own against Suzi RGV250s. Honestly.

[@michaelwhite8031]

My favourite bike on here. Thank you.

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@sandroribeiro11]

Que moto linda! Ficou incrível 😎❤

[@BucketWheat]

My first bike was a Yamaha DT250 -- Very similar to the bike this was built from. But it was a 2-stroke, and would have been quite a sporty bike with a low-exit Expansion Chamber pipe. As an older bike, it did not have the disc brakes -- which I would ADD to a current build -- and I would go with a 'flat' top-mount handle-bar, rather than the 'clip-ons'... Cut away the rear of the fender, stretch the swingarm just a bit..add the Perfect tires... and GO !!

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

This is a practical, simple machine that looks very beautiful once it’s stance has been modified by a builder like Zeus. Very nice work. Your choice exemplifies the ability he has. As always, thank you for Racer TV, the Café racers only choice! Ride safe dear friend! Cheers....

[@georgecurtis6463]

Disagree. The sr is a beauty in and of itself. It's already minimal and has the look that grabs your eye. I have never found a reason to change anything. Not saying there is anything wrong with his bikes, as you say, he does it right.

[@RACER_TV]

Great build ...great video

[@chirag4]

i was looking for a Cafe Racer, and Husqvarna 250 Vitpilen has caught my eye. I would have bought the 400cc variant, but not yet available in my country, India. May be next year it might come. I love the color white and the closest to white is Husqvarna 400cc (250 & 700cc ones are silver & dark grey). I am forced to buy the 250cc as a compromise. Second chief reason for my interest is its light weight (154 kg). I am a short guy, 5'6" tall & 46 years of age, ... can't handle or manage 190 Kilogram bikes. Once it tilts on one side, i have to put it down, and ask someone to help me lift it to upright position. There are no good Customisers in my city. Kindly suggest or advise. Thanks.

[@RACER_TV]

It is just a matter of riding experience and confidence. I am just 4 cm taller than you, and I ride also a 1992 BMW K1 with 260kg. But I think a 200kg motorcycle (like Royal Enfield 650) is perfect. Not too heavy, and not too light. Cheers.

[@chirag4]

​@@RACER_TV Thanks Sir for the reply. Sorry for my delayed response. I took a test drive of Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 few months back and had found it too heavy. Otherwise I would have bought it by now. Price-wise, it's lowest in it's class. Probably no other bike comes at such affordable price, which is a great thing. Unfortunately I can't buy it. I can't even wait till the KTM Duke-390 gets available back again here, or I would get it modified/customised, into a Cafe Racer. One customs bike shop had successfully finished a Duke 390 project, converted it into a beautiful (white coloured) bike. Their name is "Rajputana Customs", but it's based in another city, little far away from mine.

[@gopnikhardbass9141]

Olá! Sou do Brasil e fã do canal a aproximadamente 1 ano, seu trabalho é muito excelente. Gostaria de fazer uma sugestão um tanto interessante, não só para mim. Estou tentando fazer um projeto Café racer, porém, acabo por esbarrar em um problema chamado leis e burocracia. Ao tentar fazer modificações importantes, tais como substituir o tanque de combustível e fazer modificações no quadro, geram multa e requerem mudanças na documentação da motocicleta para que ela possa continuar a rodar legalmente nas cidades. Essa lei diz que não se pode mudar características do modelo do veículo. Você poderia fazer um vídeo mostrando maneiras alternativas de se alcançar um visual café racer sem sofrer estas modificações no quadro e tanque de combustível? Em motocicletas propícias, como a CG125 isso não é problema, mas em outras motos isso se torna quase impossível (como a Honda CBX250 Twister, por exemplo). Desde já, agradeço...

[@Marspalacios]

Anyone know the tire sizes used in this build? I have a Yamaha SR400 and would like to use these Coker Classic tires.

[@harryodum5598]

The Coker Tires looks like the old 60s Goodyear Eagles. And I believe Coker still makes a runoff Goodyear super eagle.

I doubt it'd race anywhere on those tyres. Leave the bike as standard as it left the Yamaha factory. Enjoy some Japanese beauty, practicality (mud guards, proper foot rests) and comfort (decent handle bars, quiet exhaust, plump saddle).
