Cafe Racer / Bobber Style Motorcycle (Markham & Surrounding Area)

Looked all over the forum and thought I start a post for those who share the love of cafe racer / bobber style motorcycles. Having ridden sportbikes in the past, my interest has shifted into the world of customs. Everywhere you look (especially in Markham) its either a Gixer, CBR, R6, Ninja, etc... Not that I'm bashing these bikes (having owned an 848 & 675) but once in a while, its nice to see something different and truly one of a kind.

If your looking for inspiration, check this site out!

Can wait to take her out when the weather gets warmer. Here a pic for you all!

Sometimes, less is more. I have always liked the stripped down look, your HD looks great I am sure your going to love it !!
 
What is that a sportster? I for one love the looks of bobbers but i love the ride of my SS better. I'd get one as a second bike but can't get rid of mine. Yet.

Here's my cousins bike

Thanks Jampy,

Only taken it out once, trying to break her in gently. I'll take some more pics (outside my garage) when the weather warms up.
 
yeah mines a sporty, 2013 Harley Iron 883. Your cousins bike looks amazing. Was thinking of doing the chopped fender all the way to the seat but my girl wants to ride on the back. SS are great too, I'm on the other boat, wouldn't mind getting a 1199 or something as a track tool.
 
Hey Leslie.

Here's my ride...

... I'm out in the west end (milton)... we should try and hook up some time...

You guys are too modern for me. I am riding old school. I just finished lots of engine work on mine.

Sweet looking Cafe you got there... I wish I had the time to take on a rebuild project like that. I can just imagine how much fun it must be to ride... Nice job!!!

My other ride is a 2012 Aprilia Tuono which is a weapon but the CB550 is a blast to ride. Lots of time and money in the bike but I love it and it is a one of a kind.
 
Loved the Sportclassic. Too bad Duc discontinued it. One day I'll get my hands on one.
 
Lots of eye candy here, keep the pictures coming, I wish i can build up one this year, my inspiration is a cafe scrambler.
 
Very nice ride akabek, always wanted to buy an old CB and rebuild one from ground up. AQCR, anytime you want to meet up let me know. Milton might be stretching it for me since I get off work pretty late, maybe meet somewhere half way (Downtown) and admire our bikes!
 
Is there another time the cafes will meet up? I'm dying to see more out there. So far it's me and a buddy with 70's cb's. Unfortunately we won't be here for this long weekend. :(
