The
term cafe racer developed among British motorcycle enthusiasts. It describes a
style of motorcycle for quick rides from one transport cafe to another. It is
also common in countries like Italy, France and other European countries.
The
cafe racer is a light powered motorcycle that has been modified for speed and
handling rather than comfort. The body structure and control of it mimicked the
style of a Grand Prix Road racer, featuring an elongated fuel tank with dents
to allow the rider’s knee to grip the tank.
The
most important thing about it is the use of low, narrow handle bars which
allows the riders to tuck in. Cafe racer styling evolved throughout the time of
their popularity. In the mid 70’s, Japanese bikes had taken over British one in
the marketplace.
Rockers
were the members of a subculture that originated in the United Kingdom. It was
mainly centred on British cafe racer motorcycles. They were known as Coffee Bar
Cowboys.
There
are many dealers available worldwide who deals in cafe racer bikes. You can choose
anyone of them. However, make sure that you check all the parts of it carefully
before you make up your mind to purchase it.
