cafe racer

Lightweight vintage bike

A cafe racer is a lightweight motorcycle modified or built for speed and style rather than comfort.

The name comes from the culture of racing between cafes in 1950s and 60s Britain.

Cafe racers typically have low handlebars, a minimalist frame, and a stripped-down appearance emphasizing the engine: He restored a vintage Triumph into a cafe racer.
