And then take a Harley Davidson tank and some crazy yellow fabric to finish the seat. Thumbs up for bravery on this one! Mix it with some chrome and old-fashioned accessories. I especially appreciate the builder’s fantasy… You take a truly vintage bike and go crazy with colors. Read more: this blog | Inazuma Cafe Racer 7. Connected with this tiny, bobber like seat… Nothing should work here… But it does! It definitely deserves a place here. The forks, rear shocks, headlight, seat – are so unconventional. It’s so ugly and different, that I loved it from the moment I saw it online. This one was featured here over a year ago. I don’t think the riding position would be anywhere near comfortable (since the footpegs seem way to forward), but this juicy red definitely looks stylish. Tons of vintage details (handles for the passenger, bulky fenders… But with Cafe Racer handlebars and mirrors. It’s a beautiful classic, an airhead engine with the chromed tank that looks perfectly 70s. I don’t know if this particular transformation is more a restoration or a cafe racer. In this case – retro works well with some modern touches. These flat-twins have this kind of aesthetics, that they look good when put into the 60s style as well as 80s or modern days. I like the direction the builder took, to make it look retro. This one, in particular, is the most “classic” one. Read more: this blog | Renard Speed Shop 4.

Doing the white frame, tires, headlight and even the forks… going crazy on making a minimalistic line, handlebars and controls… or is it just those sunny photos. I don’t know if it’s because of the bright colors and styling. Maybe I’ll try to build another list consisting only of R NineTs, but this time I tried to find the builds that go crazy with the concept and… most likely swap the fuel tank to save the looks. The most common ones – R65, R75, R80, R90, R100… No modern versions (like R1100, R1200 or R NineT etc) are included. BMW is faithful to the concept and they perfected it for decades.
