The John Norwich Riders CornerIn honour of our fellow moderator: John Norwich R.I.P. September 17th, 2014
Buy, sell, trade bikes and gear, set up bike rallies, meet discussions. #revscenebikes
Originally known as one of the ugliest bikes of the 80's. Apparently they're quite pretty underneath all their cheap plastic. A couple of modified Honda CX500s:
The CX, Honda's first V twin. Quirky but unique in its own right. And for that reason I love it.

I've spent many many hours musing over what bike I would choose if I could only have one, money being no object. Most times I end up concluding I need about five different ones (z3german knows this) but time and time again I see myself coming back to one bike... the Triumph Thruxton.
This particular one was done up by some guys down in Portland, their name escapes me
mmm Thruxtons. Love their ergonomics. Probably one of the comfiest I've sat on next to the current GSXR 750 and Speed Triple. Pretty good resale value as well!
Another atypical cafe platform, an inline-4 BMW K100:

This bike just does it for me. Machine fetishism at its finest. Completely exposed. Clear covers. Gobs of torque. The American made Confederate Hellcat X132.
I did a future EV Cafe Racer thesis project sponsored by Zero Motorcycles at Art Center. I'm currently interning for them this summer and hopefully we can 3D print out a few components and work out a functioning one this year.

Wow JMV, very very cool. best of luck to you. We hope to see more of you in here!
I'd love to hear more about your concept design. Is there any particular reason you went with the horizontal upper swingarm based monoshock rather than a through the swingarm vertical with linkage setup? Any insight into challenges of designing around an electric engine rather than a standard petrol motor?
The bike that makes me question everything in my life... Resto-mod perfection. These sell for about $40k in Japan. The AC Sanctuary RCM 253 (1980 CB 750F):
Wow... that is just stunning. I don't usually like the 80s bikes with squarish tanks and that plastic around the tail but this one is amazingly put together. I can't get my eyes off those pie cut headers
