Wow, that is one cool Triumph, reminds me of the dustbin fairing racers like this one:

 

[Hoofhearted]

The Triumph is qwned by Tom Mellors. Ran a hideous 182.450 on gas at Bonneville this year. Totally ridiculous. The streamling for it and the dustbin in the photobelow are made by Airtech in San Diego Ca. The dustbin is not legal at any of the SCTA events but is legal for theh BUB meet at Bonneville.

That Ace Cafe bike is fucking hideous. It is a cartoon. And a Harley V tiw in too. Jeezus what were they thinking! New Norton twins avaialbe fron Norvil, new GOldstar singles and Mathless singles from ABSAF, new Vincent motors...........

Why not just a repro Indian CHief twin from Kiwi Indian in it. WHy not? HAs about as much relevance as a HD twin in a "cafe bike". :

 

[vwfye]

tell us what you really think!

Is this a record? second post and i'm ruffling feathers ;D

It's an S&S twin.

But I say fire a norton motor in there and it's the real deal, as far as a modern cafe / fighter goes.

Here's my '72 Combat.

This is probably my favorite bike, but I would be so afraid that the fairing will decapitate me. God I love it though...

Heres an OIF that inspires me. Martin Doerfler's immaculate and fast 500 Triumph.

i really like this bmw r80 but I don't think I can apply anything from it to my bike other than the tach/speedo

yeah i agree, this bike is gorgeous, i just have nothing to steal from it for my cb500... maybe the black engine block... that looks badass

 

[CaTacl1sm]

You just like the flag!

...don't know if it's a cafe, but it inspires me.

...again, because it's that cool. The exhaust coating gives me a chubby

And that bike in Grand Theft Auto at the military base... I've forgotten what version it is

 

[infrapista]

Here a good job from England done on a Nippon Bike ...

 

[boingk]

Whoa...thats what I want! Kind of...not really. I guess what I'm thinking of is either sleek and black, or that flat-green of the military with a tan seat and a gnarly black serial # on the tank. Also, does anyone remember the old-school 'Road Rash' game? Well, the Diablo ride in the Sports bike category...that purple paint with the yellow and orange camo-pattern? Hell yeah!

the BMW lo rider concept has some good things going on, aside from it's appalling name. i like to think it's taking cues from all the streettrackers, bobbers and cafe custom bikes out there. the rear of the concept bike is pretty ugly, but there are a range of variations which are hot, especially the dirtbike rear.
