The Return of Cafe Racers (Why and When?)

During last years, it seems that Cafe Racer bikes had a second chance.
Some kind of rebirth.
And the questions are: Why and when?
What caused this new beginning of Cafe Racer bikes?
When exactly it all started happening?
These are the questions, that you will see answered in this video.
I hope you like.
Enjoy.

I think the love or rebirth of the cafe race comes from seeing them as kids in the 50's, 60's and even the 70's. Now that we are older and can afford them we want that lost love and connection with are youth. And most of all, they are just so COOL!

Se você precisa apenas saber as horas, você não precisa de um Iphone, você só precisa de um relógio. Se você quer uma moto para se divertir (de forma civilizada), você não precisa de uma Super Sport, você só precisa de uma Cafe Racer. A alternativa mais simples sempre é a melhor escolha, só agora estamos começando a entender esse conceito. Thanks for the video!

Rodrigo Machado Obrigado. Provavelmente irei mesmo usar as suas palavras. Ainda não sem bem onde e quando. Mas já tomei nota. Quando o fizer, enviar-lhe-ei uma mensagem a avisar. :). Abraço

[@Kumbanigash]

Rodrigo Machado Acho que as Cafe Racers são a solução para um dilema que eu, pessoalmente, enfrentava: "como combinar o clássico com desempenho"? Como resolver a falta de "performance" das Custom e Choppers, sem abrir mão de seu inegável e imbatível charme? Com exceção da Yamaha V-Max, eu não enxergava algo que resolvesse tal questionamento. Eu também me indagava: "como farei para inclinar nas curvas, com esportividade, sem raspar os escapes no asfalto, a bordo de uma Custom?" Eu não conseguia chegar a uma conclusão. As Cafe Racers, para mim, aniquilaram tais dúvidas. ESPORTIVIDADE SEM ABRIR MÃO DO CLÁSSICO? Yes, we can!

[@rodrigomachado5901]

Kumbanigash Sim, também curto as custom, principalmente pela sua pureza e simplicidade, tal qual as Cafes. O problema das custons sempre foi o peso excessivo, e pouca maneabilidade entre os carros. Pra quem mora na cidade, uma Café com até 400cc e menos de 150kg deixa qualquer custom pra trás!

[@jettison_m]

Reminds me of some vehicles as well. The Ford Mustang, Dodge Charger, Chevy Camaro...all started coming back with their old school classic looks, just modernized a bit. We're recognizing the beauty of the designs we had back then and are bringing them back in a renewed appreciation.

Just an interesting piece of information. In my opinion the café racer revival was of course brought about - as you said- by Ducati with the mh and later on with the 2006 sportclassic 1000 (at the time the brand was already super famous and their products received much more attention compared to other brands), but the first real modern version of a café racer was in 1992 by Moto Guzzi with the Daytona 1000 and later on with the beautiful 1999 V11. The LeMans version of the v11 is a head turner even today, very classic lines and fairing.

[@RACER_TV]

Yes, I remember when the Daytona 1000 was launched. But the wheels and the front headlight, were still too modern to have some retro cafe racer flavor. To be honest, I think moto guzzi V7 racer is the key motorcycle, that caused this cafe racer rebirth. But thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.

Where I live in Florida, U.S.A, there has been a resurgance of cafe racer bikes. Irritatingly though, it's the "hipster" crowd. I've seen many vintage japanese cafe bikes, with the rider wearing a british style driving hat, flannel shirts, long chain wallets, etc. While it may sound kind of snobbish, personally I feel they are diluting the true cafe scene and lifestyle. We used to have a shop called "Ton Up", that specialized in cafe style bike, parts, and accessories. Sadly, it only lasted about two years, because of the lack of interest. We would gather on saturdays, and ride to different bars and such, and meet back at Ton Up. Too bad really, because I personally loved it! Riding my '75 Kawasaki Z1b cafe...

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you my friend for sharing your American perspective. I must say that the cafe racer Scene is still growing all around the world. It may be more successful in some countries than others, but it is definitely growing. :) Cheers.

[@eusdeenius]

A few weeks ago while I was walking on the street I heard an exhaust note that I would call "perfect" for my taste. I immediately turned my head. There she was. MH900e. One of the best looking things created by human beings. It's so beautiful to look at that I felt myself in another dimension. And if it was a girl I would get the ring and propose at that very moment. I wish there were more bikes like that.

Buying and adding a few touches to make it more cafe racer style! Ducati Scrambler!

[@felipedourado5721]

I think that the motto that captures really well what contemporary bikers are seeking is Triumph's slogan, "For the Ride". Maybe in a soulless and virtualised world that achieved so many impressive technological goals (sometimes reminding a dystopian fiction) a realistic and simpler bike is something on which the 'spirit' still can manifest itself. Why we choose motorcycles? Because they're fun, fast and dangerous, because we become, upon a bike, a mythical beast the "mechanoceantaur" and, probably, there's nothing so powerful as that ancient feeling. So, we really do it, in short, 'for the ride' and nothing else.During the late seventies, all the eighties and a good part of the nineties maybe a too computerised mindset had forgotten the simple pleasures of life and motorcycling. I salute the new cafe racer creed for what it brings back to real world and to real man. Biking is related to passion and proper skills. Everything that we do that has those ingredients and aims the excitement of the senses turns to be an aesthetic experience. If it's so, it's hard to not recognize it as a kind of art. That's what cafe racers (the type of bike) stands for, and for me, that's what Racer TV is all about. But there is one doubt that remains, when you assembled the images of the THX 1138 cop bikes together with the sentence "(...)you have to make the choice, you can buy it, or you can built it." what did you mean? Is it a phrase that teases the viewers inclined to buy ready made cafe racers instead of building them to feel as robotic as those characters on the movie, or do you think those are really cool bikes and outfits who deserve to be among the beauties shown in your video? Whatever is the answer, you've been done a good job indeed. Regards from Brazil.

[@RACER_TV]

+felipe dourado cáurio Thank you my friend for all your kind words. By the way, your english seems to be very good.Congratulations. So about your question on "you can buy it, or you can built it). No be honest, is just the conclusion of something real. No second sense in that sentence. Because if someone likes Cafe Racers, there are only 2 options. Buying it, or building it. None of these options is right or wrong. Because some of us don't have the ability to build a cafe racer, therefore, buying it can be the right option.(or not)Is just a choice. :) Thanks for sharing your perspective. Um abraço.

Two days ago, I was riding my Thruxton Ace Cafe edition and I just love it. I used to ride modern sport bikes (mostly Honda's) for nearly 16 years, but all these technology got me bored. For some reasons, a few years ago, I started enjoying cafe racers for their simplicity. They are easier to work on and maintain and no one needs a 200 hp bike full of gimmicks on the street.

When you take a forgotten motorcycle and make it unforgettable. With a new life greater than its original. Its a custom built racer as unique as its builder. Built in yards sheds barns and dinning rooms. To each its own flavor and character. Like the secret of grandma's cookies used to make a motorcycle. A mixture of speed and beauty. A unique combination of sounds smells and feelings like no other. This is only just a small part of what is a cafe racer.

Moisés Amado Obrigado. Quando falei em "mais do mesmo", estava a referir-me ao que aconteceu à maioria das motos de produção em massa entre o final dos anos 80 até hoje. No caso das Café Racers, acredito que não irá acontecer o mesmo, já que muitas das motos mais bonitas são produzidas em exclusividade por "pequenos" fabricantes, o que significa que irá sempre haver muita variedade e criatividade(Pelo menos assim o espero).

They are here to stay, but kind of assuming new forms, more street fighterish (Remember that more recent basis for CR projects tend to derive from streetfighters from 2000 and on..that were the "modern CR"); and as production cafe racers are an obvious item on every brand nowadays... Kawa w800, guzzis, yamhmy... The only brand lacking is suzuki... and Honda... that CB1100 is way overboard (and overpriced)... there should be a CB750 Four at around 9k€...

I believe the 2 major factors were left out: An ageing population that no longer wants or needs a 200CV motorcycle and growing speed enforcement. And obviously, the economy. A new Spor bike, like the new R1, is worth close to €20.000, far to much for the average 20+ year old. A Cafe Racer is an inexpensive way to look "cool" Please notice that it is not just the Cafe Racer movement that's getting stronger, it is also the likes of Vespa Clubs and classic bikes, to name a few. Good video, though.

[@RACER_TV]

Alex Ferreira I agree with everything you said my friend. Curiously, i also thought about the ageing population as an important cause. But this was not enough to start everything. What i was looking for, is the "Spark". The point that brought back the cafe racers. And in my opinion, was the Ducati MH 900 E, and the fact that in 2000 there was a General appetite for the retro look. Thank you for sharing your opinion. Abraço.

There's a very nice Ducati that had been in a barn for 20 years, and has been resurrected into a very nice 'Café Racer' by Rasio Motorcycles' in Back Street Heroes magazine (Oct 2015) www.rasio.cc Keep up your good work RACER TV

+TheBrummiedoug I agree with you. This ducati by Rasio Motorcycles is really beautiful. It's a shame not having more photographs available in their website. But thanks for your suggestion and for your comment. Cheers.

where do you find this type.of music?????

[@RACER_TV]

Well, sometimes i find them by luck, but most times is with hard work of research, and adapting the original songs to these videos. Cheers.

[@frankfrommherz8942]

Hi! I instantly fell in love with that song. Could you help me along where to find / download / buy it? Thanks a lot

Got the 900 triumph thruxton xxxden

[@carljones8334]

The journalist did not coin the term cafe racer i 1973. But now that people have heard it on youtube, the definition will stick.

[@delandgixxer750]

If it was not for the Cafe Racers would the Super-sports be around today??? I think not!!!

[@RACER_TV]

delandgixxer750 You are probably right. But i also think that the existence of cafe racers were inevitable, and not by chance.It was the result of the first expression of will of the young bikers. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Cheers.

[@FernandoJFerreiraJr]

Buy or built...what choice in Brasil? today? only builting...and with too much $$$

[@RACER_TV]

Fernando J Ferreira Jr Olá Fernando. Compreendo-o perfeitamente. Mas às vezes quando o dinheiro é curto, não significa menos prazer na mota que conseguimos ter. É mais a questão de fazer as escolhas certas. Boa sorte. Um abraço.

[@FernandoJFerreiraJr]

RACER TV Isto mesmo. Meu sonho é customizar a moto que tenho, deixá-la a minha cara, mas nem loja especializada tem aqui. Procurei por um para lama de pneu traseiro parecido com a da Repsol e não achei em loja alguma..Mas só o prazer de acelerar e o som me dão muito prazer. Valeu pelo apoio e continuem os videos...

[@RACER_TV]

Fernando J Ferreira Jr Eu compreendo que às vezes é dificil conseguir peças em algumas regiões. Mas graças à Internet, penso que não terá problemas em conseguir o que precisa. Tente no Ebay, e vai ver que tem lá muuuita coisa. Um abraço.

I told to you: Ducati has SOUL. Do you remember it?

[@charlespascua9740]

I'm not an enthusiasts but I think cafe racer now should be elegant not fast

[@RACER_TV]

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

[@sethadam4266]

There cheap until you rebuild the carbs, and suddenly the fix is more than the bike's value, they are problematic for a novice & old technology may be a challenge for a beginning rider. You see as many choppers on the road as you do cafe racers, far better to look at, than ride.

[@mariocn.3747]

No Control Tractiong No Electrónica Only Racing.

Mario Copete Nuñez Precisely. Cheers.

[@lostinspacestudio]

terrible translation..

[@RACER_TV]

+Christian Hogue Sorry to hear that. As you should know, I'm Portuguese. I always try to do my best in what concerns to narration. I use Google translate, but the text is all mine. But in the end, i think the main massage in each video is always understandable. Cheers.

[@lostinspacestudio]

+RACER TV hi its my experience google translate is terribly inaccurate. better to use the app "fiver" to find a human who can do it reliably. otherwise interesting.

[@RACER_TV]

+Christian Hogue 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.

[@lostinspacestudio]

+RACER TV oh really it is very clear..I was suggesting the actual translation not the voice be done on fivr

[@Vindexi]

I wonder if in 15 years 80s Bikes will evolve to a biker subculture

[@RACER_TV]

You may be right. We never know. Thank you for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
