The Cafe/2Stroke/Single/Twin/Brit/Euro/Cool Bike Pic Thread

I have been noticing a lot of threads with very cool pictures and links and in conversing with some other frequent posters thought maybe we could try to roll some of the best content up into one place. I look here and on the internet, as well as tv, in printed media and at bike shows and all over, for inspiration for my projects, so with Winter coming hopefully this can be a place for people to look for their ideas too.

Please try to keep this on topic, and keep in mind it isnt necessarily about SV's - classic bikes, cafe racers, GP bikes, thumpers, 2 smokers, Vtwins, euro bikes, and most anything you got. Ok, maybe not the really egregiously ugly 'I wouldnt ride that if you paid me' type bikes though.

*Obviously we cant always control what other outside sources do with their images, links, and content - so over time if this thread continues I am sure there will be dead links and little red x's popping up. I will do what I can to keep my posts updated!

Some of my favorites:

No Wuckers Sys. Shots 4 and 6 from the top are deffo Australian. The silver one with greeny gold wheels is from Sydney and the 666 is from Melbourne. That shot was taken at Broadford, and that is Alan Cathcart aboard it.


Here is a closer shot of the one from Sydney. At first I though Ho-hum but the more I get past the strange colours the more it turns me on. This is at Eastern Creek during a Sheene Festival of Speed.

If I were in charge of exports, I'd make you Americans promise to not paint Stars'n'Stripes on anything before you got anymore classy European bikes.
If you were in charge of exports - We'd all be riding singles with road rash.

Hold tight boys and girls. Initially I found the Stars'n'Stripes horribly overwhelming, doubly so since Kato did it themselves. Now my nausea comes from Kato's efforts to ingratiate themselves into the American market.
I'm beside you on the stars, but maybe a bike becoming popular in a big market will make one of those bikes more affordable when you decide to grow another cylinder.



I do like the rim treatment.

Good point. If I can squeeze another 10 hp outta my single, I don't think I'll ever want to go big again. Small rules (with power).

Hmmmmm......careful of your company when you say that down this way.


And another special Kato.
