The first time that I thought about building a Cafe Racer some years ago, my mechanical knowledge was limited. I had no idea about design, and of course, I did not know the regulations regarding the homologation of reforms on a motorcycle. The result: a Ducati Forza from the 79, painted and upholstered by myself, almost impossible to ride, and of course not homologable to circulate in any Spanish city. I had to sell it in pieces because the mess could not be solved in any other way. After Lucky, my Ducati's name, many more came. I spent countless hours training and in my workshop, along with failures and victories. That time was dedicated to what I liked most: restoring and transforming motorcycles. I love what I do, and I love telling it. Through this book I want to help you avoid making the same mistakes I did when I started, and above all, to show you that you can do it. You can choose a motorcycle that will be the basis of your Cafe Racer project. You can design your dream motorcycle yourself. You can get the elements and mount them on the chassis. You can get everything to work perfectly. And finally, I want to show you that you will only need a toolbox, a small workshop (even a storage room), and lots of lots of desires. I am not a mechanic by any means, although I admire them with all my heart. Thanks to listening to them, I've learned a lot of what I know. However, like doctors, they sometimes speak in a language that is very complicated for common folk to understand. I'm going to tell you how to build a Cafe Racer as if we were having a beer in the bar next to the workshop, with words that everyone understands, because that is my dream: to bring motorcycle transformations to people like you and me. Here begins the road... do you go up?

DIVA photographic chronology of some of the fastest, most stylish, and most individualized bikes in motorcycling history./divDIV/divDIVOriginally used as a slur against riders who used hopped-up motorcycles to travel from one transport café to another, “café racer� describes a bike genre that first became popular in 1960s British rocker subculture—although the motorcycles were also common in Italy, France, and other European countries. The rebellious rock-and-roll counterculture is what first inspired these fast, personalized, and distinctive bikes, with their owners often racing down public roads in excess of 100 miles per hour (“ton up,� in British slang), leading to their public branding as “ton-up boys.� Café Racers traces café racer motorcycles from their origins in the mid-twentieth century all the way into modern times, where the style has made a recent comeback in North America and Europe alike, through the museum-quality portraiture of top motorcycle photographer Michael Lichter and the text of motorcycle culture expert Paul d’Orléans. Chronologically illustrated with fascinating historical photography, the book travels through the numerous ever-morphing and unique eras of these nimble, lean, light, and head-turning machines. Café Racers visually celebrates a motorcycle riding culture as complex as the vast array of bikes within it./div

What building a Café Racer Really Means Successfully building a café racer-in this case also known as a rat-café, since we'll be doing it on the cheap, means creating a bike that is really light, handles extremely well, and on a tight, twisty mountain road, could outperform virtually any vehicle on the planet. With enough piloting skill-and we'll get into that later-you can keep up with an even beat someone on a bike with much better horsepower. These bikes are built for tight roads, and what that means is that you get a big advantage over a guy on some crotch rocket big sports bike. Even with their horsepower advantage, you still win. Here's why: the bike is lighter, and with lighter rims and tires, it can flop over onto its side in a full "battle lean" faster and easier than anything short of the highest-end (and highest-price) regular bikes out there. This doesn't mean you should go out and challenge everyone to a race, however, since the advantage won't be huge. But on a tight, twisty road up in the mountains, it's enough to impress and occasionally embarrass a new pilot on a much better bike. And if you drop more than $3,000 on your bike, then it's a fair bet that you did something very wrong. These bikes can be done cheaply and easily. That light bike means not a lot of heavy, expensive parts. That's what success looks like in the case of building your own café racer. When you go for rims, go as light as you possibly can. This is really important when it comes to creating a really high-performing canyon racer café bike. Read through to a later chapter for more details on this. Your carburetor should be a well-tuned factory model-you'll usually want to go for a CV, though in this particular book, we'll go into some serious detail on carburetors, so stay tuned. Even better-and remember, we'll go over this more lately on-some sort of round slide or flat slide carb. If you're on the small side, or even an average-sized pilot, you'll be able to get away with something as small as a twin 350 cc up to a 500 cc, or maybe a 500-650 single cylinder motor. This means about between 35 and 45 horse power. If you're a larger rider, you might want to try looking for something more in the 65-75 horse power range. This means a bigger twin, or something along the lines of a 4-banger engine of about 650 up to 750cc. This means you'll want to get a classic air-cooled four-cylinder as opposed to something more modern, like a water-cooled super sport motor. One of the biggest things about these bikes is the cosmetic side. Everybody can tell a café racer by the classic, retro outfitting. They all have a similar look, even though each one is a little different. The café racer is not just a bike. It is a lifestyle, and that is often the reason why it is so important you build your own. This bike is an extension of your personality, and it should reflect you in every way. It's important to remember that there are not many rules when it comes to building your café racer. Most of the stuff that other people are doing involves trying to imitate what was done in England when bikers took their father's motorcycles and turned them into their own style icons. This means you can turn just about anything into a café racer. That's part of the point. It's really up to you.

What's old is new again, and the newest trend on the block is Cafe Racers. Written by well-known motorcycle and automotive author Doug Mitchel, How to Build a Café Racer starts with a history lesson. While those first bikes were built in the UK for racing from cafe to cafe, the current rage for Cafe Racers has definitely spread to the US. Converting a stock motorcycle to a Cafe Racer requires more than a fairing and a few decals. The book starts with chapters on planning and choosing an appropriate bike, followed by chapters that detail the modifications that will likely be embraced by anyone converting a stocker to a rocker. From shocks and tires to engine modifications, Doug's book lays out each type of modification and how it's best carried through. The center of the book holds a gallery of finished bikes. These are not just Triumphs or Nortons, but nearly every brand imaginable from Japan, Italy, the UK, and Germany. The final chapters include two, start-to-finish cafe builds. This is the chance for the reader to see how professional shops take a stock Honda, Triumph, or Ducati and convert it into a fast, sexy, and functional Cafe Racer, ready to race from cafe to cafe on Saturday night, or around the race track on Sunday afternoon.
