Honda CX500, CM125 and '07 Bonneville Cafe Racer

To kick off our "Readers Rides week" I've hand picked three very different, but equally awesome custom built motorcycles. A Honda CX500 Cafe Racer from a first time builder, a gold leafed '07 Triumph Bonneville Cafe Racer and a really unique little Honda CM125 with a sidecar that was built in a car park.

Readers Rides week

I continue to get a steady flow of outstanding custom motorcycle builds sent in by readers and as a result I have a backlog of backyard built motorcycles to post. So to recognise those who have sent in their Cafe Racers, Bobbers and custom builds I am going to devote this week to Readers Rides. Check back each day this week to see a selection of the best classic builds, modern Cafe Racers, custom creations and spotless restos that have arrived in my inbox.

Bonneville salt flat bikes 2011

Spent most of today setting up a new computer (wahey) and found these images I collected a while back. These are some of the nicest looking motorcycles that took part in last years speed week at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Hit the link for a nice bit of eye candy to stare at on your Saturday.

Honda Cafe Racer from Tahoma, WA

I never get tired of seeing Honda CB750's converted into Cafe Racers. Not only is the CB750 a magnificent base for a stripped down street racer they also really suit classic Cafe styling. This '77/'78 Honda CB750 F based Cafe Racer was built by Mike Tige from DC Tahoma, WA who's done a lot more than simply fitting new rubber and apply a fresh lick of paint to pull this beauty together.

The One Motorcycle Show 2012

See See Motorcycles "The One Motorcycle show" has wrapped up for another year and it looks like it's getting bigger every year. Dave Friesen sent us these photos from the event (thanks buddy) plus an 11 minute videoyou can watch on the Return of the Cafe Racers facebook page.
