That is amazing. I usually feel serious zzzzzs coming on when these daft cafe racers are coo-ed over, but, I have to admit, that one does look good and what is most unbelievable is what is is made from! I might be sold!

Those virago cafe racers are gorgeous. Such a stunning bike made from a stty cruiser.

Don't like that one - dodgy lines!

I just had a Google of Viragos, and a look on ebay. There's an awfil lot of work involved in converting one!

Check out Deus Ex Machina, Aussie style.
Also there is a fab video on YouTube for Lossa engineering over in the states. I love cafe type bikes.

Yeah seat and tank underside needs to be horizontal IMO, that's why some bikes with too much of a kick in the top tubes of the frame look wrong. All IMO.

Bobber? I like them almost as much as cafes, a lot of customs end up looking like the bd child of the two, not a bad look!
