Yeah i like that new concept one honda may release. But if i could only have one bike it would be a full fairing sport bike then a track bike then a cafe racer.

Had one...i'll see if i can find some photos. It was a 76 CB500T. Slow as hell and unreliable but it looked sweet. The CB750F is really nice bike to "cafe".
If you wanna stick with yamaha, anothe bike i'd suggest is the rd350. Its a little bit finicky about tuning but when its right its awesome to ride. You can't beat two strokes!!! |

this does not really fit the cafe racer mold but this is the best looking naked bike i have even seen. its the cb1100r concept. But the last one is the cb1100f a concept cafe racer.

Cafe Racer - First bike I ever wanted. Seen it 6 years ago while in France and wanted to bring it home with me.
