Ace Cafe Racer..

[Gitzy]

The Ace Cafe Racer's 1200cc air cooled V-twin lump makes 138bhp and 110ftlb of torque, which Nick estimates should give it a top speed of around 180mph. Neat touches include a top yoke that hides the brake and clutch reservoirs, an exquisite exhaust system that took 10 solid days to fabricate and an oil filler cap that pokes out of the seat in true old-school cafe racer style.

According to MCN road tester Adam Child, the bike is as interesting to ride as it is to admire: "This is a man's bike and no mistake. The seat is wide due to the featherbed frame, which makes it hard to touch the floor, you need the grip of a gorilla for the clutch and once fired up the engine is loud enough to wake the dead"

I'm in for an answer to this too. Have wanted wire wheels forever that'd fit onto a modern bike.

[Flukyluke]

I think it's great but I would fix the exaust and put a smaller gauge on it... How good are the wire wheels?

Something like this. :D

Nice bike, but if he thinks he's going to go 180mph with a 138bhp naked bike, he's dreaming.

138bhp from an air cooled 1200 V-twin ain't too shabby.

Bet it cost less than $80,000 too ;)
