If you are looking for inspiration to build an awesome muscle Cafe Racer, you are at the right place.
This video, is about one of the best cafe racer project i've ever seen, with a Yamaha XJR 1300.
It was built in Poland, by Grzegorz Korczak and his team from Unikat Motorworks.
I hope you like it.
My special thanks to Pedro Torres, for his great help with my English.

Piękny pozdrowienia dla twórców projektu ❤️
What a piece of art and a solid functional approach to 1300.
Właśnie oglądam z siodła fj1200. Brawo, świetna robota. Piekne kolorki, stelażyk pod lampe, koła,układ wydechowy.
This motorcycle is a work of art, every angle is perfectly designed and complements the builders if I had one word to sum it up I would use perfection. Thank you for sharing
I've always like the 1,300. This one looks like a space ship. Thanks for reporting on this excellent Polish work of art.
You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Cheers.
Such a pleasure to hear your voice again, the big Yamaha , so beautiful , brings back such fond memories , you never disappoint
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
I own an XJR1300. This video warms my heart. I have ridden many modern bikes, but the XJR stands out for me. Power and the feeling thereof are just spot on with that machine. It really speaks to me.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
I've had 2 ..an 07 and a 57 ..
I love em. I now have a gsx1400 and I love that 2 ,but nothing beats the xjr for iconic bikes...
This was quite an extensive build process Victor !
Not just adding a new set of front forks, and cut off the rear seat assembly !
This is a legitimate total building process nearly from the ground up !
I would venture to guess that nothing, was left untouched !
And, absolutely was put on a strict crash diet !
Results, a significantly lighter bike !
Changing the fork rake angle, affecting the handling characteristics !
Not to mention their choice of an understated paint scheme !
Wrapped up with undisputed Yamaha 1300 carbureted performance !
The weight to horsepower ratio should be impressive !
Great finished piece !
Now then,
Let's talk about your video quality !
You my friend, have put an incredible amount of time and effort into this finished product as well Sir !
My hat's off to you on a great job on the video quality as well as the bike choice !
Indeed. Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion ,and as always, for all your very kind words.. :) Cheers.
Classic lines, not overloaded & 4-cylinder-concert-sound, great stuff! 🎵🎶...👍
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Tak wyjątkowy motocykl, jak wyjątkowi są ludzie pracujący w Unikacie
Sou suspeito p/opinar pq trabalhei muitos anos em um revendedor autorizado Yamaha , essa 1300 sempre foi meu sonho de consumo !!
Essa "senhora obesa" ficou linda no estilo Café Racer.
Obrigado pela postagem.
Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.
May not be a purist cup of tea but it's got the DNA of a good cafe. tyres and wheels are too superbike looking tho 😁 but it's just me 😁. It's well build and we surely appreciate it for keeping Cafe racer Alive 👍. Ride on ride safely 🙏.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Piękny ❤
Panowie, gratuluję pięknego projektu :)
That Kineo rims looks stunning!!
Eine ware Schönheit....einfach gut gemacht🤩
just want to tell you that i love your channel! This is the best source on the internet to get to see so many beautiful custom motorcycles and getting explained why they look so great is the perfect addition to understand what's important about cafe racer design! Thank you! Btw this XJR 1300 is absolutely gorgeous!!!
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
One of the best older bikes I've had was a 1989 fj1200.
I cafed it too.
But that baby is a beaut.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
A yamaha tem um som muito lindo, essa moto ficou muito equilibrada no design.
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
Elegant and powerful. I preffer 4 cylinder bikes, and as a large man I need the bigger engines. I have a 1975 Kawasaki Z1b, and a 2000 Kawasaki ZRX 1200R. I would definately have this bike in my stable...
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
I’m with you George,
full liter 🇯🇵 inline 4s till I die
You got 2 iconic beautiful bikes man, I’m kinda jealous.
I Sold my 2003 R1 in 2005 and after a long motorcycle hiatus, got me a 2018 Z900RS I added Driven racing clip-ons, shorter cafe model clutch cables, throttle cables and throttle cable case, blacked out bits, tail tidy and as luck would have it the 72 year old man I bought it from at under 2000 miles had it already re-flashed the ECU and put Q3 tires on it.
Nothing like my GPZs of youth, this bike is fast and as smooth as a sewing machine, kinda sounds like an old KZ when ripping on it but smooth like a Honda.
Out of all the Sake rockets I have owned this one feels most like my 1994 CBR900RR
That old carb in-line 4 would sound unbelievable with a 4 into 4 exhaust. I know the pipes wouldn’t scavenge but it would sound legendary.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TV
You say the same thing every time
That Bike came out with so much gusto! Just an awesome XJR - Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Vintage all day!
I'd like to say that watching all of your videos has Inspired me so much the the pursuit of building my own motorcycle. It is now an additional item on my bucket list to have my motorcycle featured in one of your videos once it is finished. Till then I'll always look forward to more inspiration from your videos to come.
Thank you my friend for your support. Good luck to your project. :) Cheers.
Beautiful job right down to the little blue thread on the hand grips👍
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Pause at 2:20
On the left, the tracker style bmw with the single swingarm is incredible !
It is a BMW K100. Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
I love this type of cafe racer
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
There is something I don't like about this project. What does not stop me to see that it is something very original and true. Perhaps the displacement of the machine, which is huge? But in itself it is not a negative thing either. There are even bigger bikes. Maybe the color blue, I don't know, I just don't know what. But what I can appreciate is the degree of excellence in chassis modification that is simply superb.
I believe the problem is about we are not used to see a cafe racer with such a big engine. I recognize it may look a bit weird because of that. :) Thank you Amigo Alejandro for sharing your opinion. :) Saludos.
what an incredible project
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
UNIKAT and RACER TV - 2 true fanatics of motocycle world :) My congratulation to UNIKAT , this Yamaha is really amazing project ! / RACER TV as always review with passion - thank you.
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
excellent work
Splendid result. My congratulations. You are a fantastic team. Good for Poland.
Another great video Vito.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Boa noite mais uma vez eles sabiam o que estavam criando,ronco fabuloso uma moto que merece ser admirada.
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
Café racers are beautiful to look at and a real eye-catcher, but riding them on a longer tour is a real pain.
Yes, it is a bit hard, but not impossble. I already made a 500 km trip on my Honda CX 650 Cafe Racer. And I concluded that 300 km is the ideal distance for a trip in a Cafe Racer. Cheers
I love it so much ..
Bravo!! Killer build
Oh, a Yamaha...what a surprise. 👍
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but one must be blind not to see that XJR's beauty.
Loool. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Very nice! Enjoyed the video. Thank You Racer TV
You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Cheers.
Essa ficou linda!
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
Really perfect. Thanks for your videos
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Great channel! Great content! I have always enjoyed! Looking forward to the next video!!!
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
Polska gurom! :)
Espetacular!
Obrigado amigo Alex. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
I bought the 1200 new in 1997. Then, in 2005 I got a used 1300 (c1999) I finally had to sell it in 2019 with 84,000k on the clock. I also agree, the original tank lines were the best.
como sempre magnifica apresentacao de obras primas sobre rodas!!!
Obrigado amigo Leão.:) Um abraço.
Tá perfeito o projeto
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
Nice proportions.. nice job👍
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Como sempre um ótimo vídeo pra começar bem a sexta-feira. Parabéns!
Obrigado amigo pelo simpático comentário. :) Um abraço.
Very nice. But I think their old Honda project was an even better one! 😁
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Another very beautiful project from all angles. I like all the subtle changes they made to improve the lines. This is the best XJ1300 I’ve seen. Thank you for Racer TV, the Café racers only choice! Hope all is well with you my friend. Our winter is coming soon. I managed to get in one more 630 km ride last week. Took a ride to East Tennessee and road the Tail of the Dragon. I have ridden it many times and always a great ride! Hope you are riding too. Cheers!
Indeed it is. You are very lucky. Unfortunately, i don't have time available to make trips like yours. But I am glad for you. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
That’s a fantastic looking bike! Great looking shoulders are her.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Great stirring review. Imo, prefer the factory xjr1300 cafe👍
No problem. Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
I am soooo used to this robot's voice combined with the author's writing... it's very good. I really like the combination. Always good content. Thank you, Mr. Robot :)
I've got the xjr1200 from 1995 It is an absolute beast!
Amazing Yamaha ❤️
Beautiful looking cafe racer 👍❤
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Beautiful! Nice to see you again. M
You made my day!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Amazing , i didnt expect to see folks from my home city hiere :D
What I particularly like about this project is that it's retro and contemporary at the same time. And this blue is perfect.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
excepcional
Que beleza 🤩 obrigado pela partilha
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
i miss the start of the custom ''cafe racers '' all gone they forgot ''less is more''
The best TH-cam channel!!!)
Thank you my friend for your kind words. I appreciate your support. :) Cheers.
Fantastic video!!! Fantastic bike!!! Congratulations Racer TV!!!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Meus parabéns por sempre trazer pra nós amante das motos customizadas, essas máquinas bem trabalhada por seus criadores. Um forte abraço aqui de diretamente Campinas, SP - Brasil!
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
Eu adoro as 4 cilindros, essa Yamaha ficou animal as linhas e todos os detalhes que fazem muito no conceito todo do design, um belo trabalho mesmo e um ótimo vídeo também muito bem produzido. Gosto muito desse canal e por algumas vezes ter também a presença de alguns brasileiros fantásticos. Tenho uma BANDiT 600 4cc carburada ano 2001, eu mesmo fiz o projeto dela toda em uma "cafefither" um estilo pouco falado, mas tem particularidades agressivas que eu gosto.
Obrigado amigo pelo simpático comentário. :) Um abraço.
I once visited them, very cool garage!
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
one of my favorite bikes , turned to a cafe racer, in a good way, i agree 1000 thousand times
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
O pneu SuperCorsa entra a que veio esta café…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Your videos have a vibe that makes my goosebumps wake up. :}
Lool. Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
BEAUTIFUL 😍...I WISH I HAD ONE 🤩....SO GORGEOUS 😍
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Great video Racer, as always. Unikat Motorworks have made an excellent job with this bike, it's one very cool motorcycle. Got to love the inline 4 carb bikes. Take care and ride safe mate. Cheers
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. You too. :) Cheers.
Seeing the ETC module on the bars brought back memories of Japan...
Magnífica
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
Confesso que, do ponto de vista puramente estético, prefiro a versão café racer original da XJR. Obviamente concordo com tudo sobre a moto do vídeo: é uma versão muito melhorada tecnicamente, muito mais arrojada, possivelmente agradará mais entusiastas que a original, além de ser novidade, ser exclusiva e tal.. mas para mim o estilo da original vem exatamente de encontro a antigos ideais que conheço. Nesse sentido, é a versão original que para mim é mais harmônica, mais charmosa, e está muito mais próxima do que, a 40 anos, entendo como moto.
Claro que a XJR original não é perfeita, talvez o ponto estético mais fraco dela seja aquelas rodas "coxinhas" de liga leve, mas o principal motivo de eu preferir a original ao invés dessa moto do vídeo, foi justamente a sessão traseira "aleijada" dessa, em especial o banco e o escape: se o minimalismo espartano é a tendência atual, o que às vezes posso sim gostar e achar que houve bom gosto, originalidade ou que caiu muito bem para o contexto, nessa moto simplesmente não foi o caso.
Sei que estou na contra mão da tendência, mas foi mais ou menos essa a impressão que tive sempre que vi versões café racer de V Max, Honda Gold Wing e outras icônicas.. sempre alguma sensação de estranheza ou de "forçação de barra" rs..
Mas enfim, longe de mim querer fazer um julgamento de valor e quem sou eu para isso.. como diz meu pai: "apenas jogando conversa fora" rsrs.. boa semana Vitor, abraço e até a próxima.
Meu Caro Robinson. Acho que esta é a primeira vez que os nossos gostos pessoais não estão alinhados. Mas também, não se pode acertar sempre, não é? :) Sem qualquer problema. Honestidade é uma das qualidades que mais aprecio nas pessoas. Muito obrigado pela sua honesta opinião. Um grande abraço, e boa semana para Você também.
That's an excellent creation!...but I would argue if you ask me about the rear section. The rear tyre is bulky enough to give it a great look from behind....but from the sideview 3:08 , it seems shorter in height compared
to the bike's height and chassis....Still a 👍🏻 for sharing this mod🙂
Super! Erinnert mich an einen Büffel.
I just love ur voice n videos.. very well explained.. n love to see editing part of old bike which is modified to new one.. the difference.. actually.
When i see this bike..it reminds me "Street Hawk" series ...❤️ From 🇮🇳
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
Great!
Good one buddy!
The Greenwashed euro emissions are going to be interesting in future … let’s hope the best and do not contradict the system 🤫
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Extremely beautiful... The seat reminds me of Frankenstein, in a way... 🙂
Looool. I almost talked about that resemble with Frankenstein's seat. Initially I thought it was just my impression. But now I see that I (We) was right about that. But to be honest, I even think from the side perspective, this seat is prettier than on the Frankenstein. :) Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TV Loool, indeed.. I am very much obliged, my friend. That is the beauty of creativity, its always evolving... And I hope to see much more mind baffling projects from your end... Cheers.. :)
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
Stuck me as an amazing build from first sight.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Tenta trazer mais vídeos de street tracker de baixa cilindradas.
Forte abraço do Brasil, vejo todos os videos assim que são lançados, desde que conheci o canal em 2015.
Obrigado amigo pelo apoio e pela sugestão :) Um abraço.
Beautiful machine, the only thing I would have wanted is the Yamaha gold rims.
Because old is gold
Indeed. :) Cheers
Thanks to the cafe racer team.
Ronin 47 first bike to see this channel
What is your.....
I have always liked the XJ in all of its iterations. In the day it was the one chain driven bike I would have chosen other than a Ducati. In this case I actually like the look of the first one with the bikini fairing you showed over the full blown custom. Nice nonetheless.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. Are you refering to this one ? th-cam.com/video/_NRhHmg1RRE/w-d-xo.html
@@RACER_TV I was referring to the factory cafe version. It was the bike equivalent to an American muscle car. Love your channel.
Got it. Thank you for explain it, and for your loyal supportt. :) Cheers.
Yeah the rear subframe looks clean now but let’s see what it looks like with the plate on it. Makes a huge difference on a legal bike you can actually ride.
Polish is a very hard language. Try to pronounce the his name this way: Gshegosh Korchack. BTW love your videos !
Yes. I had some trouble on my text to speech software to deliver the right pronunciation of that name. But according to Google translate, i think it get pretty close on the video. :) Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Have had my 1999 Xjr13 for 22 years
Looks a bit too heavy in the middle. The seat is pretty nice. I think 19" wheels make it look better but then you're never finding tires.
Linda! Perdoa o atrevimento, eu pintaria suas rodas de preto. ZéRo Kralento RJ Brasil 👍👏🤘 em tempo: em quanto ficou a altura do banco?
I'm like in café racer bikes
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Hello, did you do a voice over for a Lego commercial? Greets, Jan.
Lool. No. I use this "robotic" voice created by software, because I'm Portuguese, and my bad English accent (and voice), can ruin the documentary character that I like for my videos. I already tried a real British voice in one of my videos, and, surprisingly, almost everyone hated it. Curiously, the robotic voice sounds realy very good for to non-English natives.
:) Cheers.
Bildhübsch, aus dem Grund weil weniger mehr sein kann.
Was mir aber fehlt, eine kleine Cockpitverkleidung die bis unter den Tank geht und 2-Mann Zulassung da ich meine Dame zu 98% mitnehme.
Mam też stary kjr 1300 ile by kosztowało przygotowanie go tak w twoim warsztacie?
Where should we draw the line on Cafe Racers. A 1300cc moto-bike just doesn't look or feel right as a Cafe Racer. Granted, this XJR looks nice, but turning it into a Cafe Racer just seems like asking an elephant to race a cheetah in a slalom course.
Cafe Racers are suppose to be lite agile machines able to racer through city traffic, bike paths, trails, and anything else to win the race from a coffee house start to a coffee house finish. There weren't rules for most part of these types of racers. Just who gets there first!
I'm glad to hear you've set up a category for these monster size bikes. They are challenging builds for sure, just not sure they should be called Cafe Racers weighing 600lbs or 550lbs.
To me, they are just long distance touring bikes that go fast.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. To be honest, I agree with most things you said. But sometimes, I have to bring different motorcycles to fulfill the taste of some of the Channel Followers. Yes, it may be a heavy bike for a cafe racer Project, but the lines of this project are very well achieved. :) Cheers.
Unikat did a fantastic job building this client bike. I give them all the credit in the world for a monster size build that the client requested. Because building custom bike for a client that dictates the requirement and perhaps a great part of the design, are the most difficult projects to achieve for a builder I believe. And this project sounded like it had a lot of oversight by the client. So kodos to Unikat on achieving such an outcome.
Now, the question that everyone must be thinking Victor. Where is Frankenstein? It must be a year now since you teased us with its introduction. Is lighting about to strike? Will he be everyone’s Favorite Christmas present this year? LOL
Lol. Curiously, I was thinking on making a video about it. I had some problems with the Front brakes and front suspension. It seems Kawasaki Used parts are not as reliable as Honda material. I am also about to change the seat foam and the fabric. The seat foam has to be softer, and the fabric darker. But these seat modifications were expected since frankenstein was finished. But I will make a video in the future explaining everything. :) Thank you for asking. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TV Softer and darker….haaa. Now I’m so very curious on your paint scheme and accent colors. Can’t wait to see the end result as the whole world is also. Thanks for the inside news too!
As for the Kawasaki brakes and suspension parts, some Yamaha loyalists are going to wonder why you didn’t choose to upgrade those parts with Yamaha parts instead of the Kawasaki? And to not cause any kind of friction with your fan base, it would have been far safer to utilize Yamaha parts without giving up much if any performance over the Kawasaki I would think. I tell you this as a friend and fan. This might be an issue that comes up that you could avoid totally from a marketing standpoint. But you would know better then me on how all the “nah” sayer’s will jump on this bandwagon if it gets any traction.
Who says a real beauty has to be slim?
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
