What Are Cafe Racer. Café Racer takes viewers inside this underground society, and promises an exclusive look at the culture and craft behind these storied bikes. A café racer is a lightweight, powerful motorcycle optimized for speed and handling rather than comfort - and for quick rides over short distances.
What makes a cafe racer unique is how it went from an insult to creating a subculture built on ingenuity and respect. Well, I know what a cafe racer is, something built of BSA, Norton, Truimph or anything else British, Norton Featherbed (?) frame with Triumph engine. They were built by riders who wanted to recreate race bikes that were unavailable to the public.

Café Racer takes viewers inside this underground society, and promises an exclusive look at the culture and craft behind these storied bikes. Lemmy closed out his "how to speak chopper proper" screed by warning everyone not to get me started talking about what constitutes a "cafe racer.". You know you love the look, the ethos and the culture around Cafe Racers.
