This Honda CB 250 is just stunning.
Not only because of its beauty, but especially because of its simplicity.
It was built by Hookie Company, located in Germany.
If you liked their Honda CB 550 project, I am sure you are going to love this one.
Enjoy
My special thanks to Pedro Torres, for his great help with my english.
Here are some interesting links about this motorcycle:

Simple, yet elegant. What more could one ask for in a traditional Café Racer design? As always, thank you for Racer TV. Once again, you have presented an excellent video that serves as an inspiration to builders.
Thank you my friend for your support. I'm glad you liked this one :) Cheers.
Exatamente, o que mais poderíamos querer. Este projeto é sublime, parabéns pelo bom gosto. Um abraço e até para a semana.
Obrigado amigo Moura. Fico contente que tenha gostado e entendido as razões que tornam esta máquina tão especial. :) Um abraço.
A sutileza e´ tão simples que no conjunto da obra fica tudo muito lindo, uma maquina tão simples mas ao mesmo tempo tão sublime,
Obrigado amigo Alex. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
One of the best 250 cafe racer i've seen...thanks ! Great vid as always ! ;)
Thank you my friend. I'm glad you liked so much. :) Cheers.
The design is imposed on the view in a natural way. I like the simplicity with which it is resolved what is a complex design, just mention the tank with that correct alignment. Elegance and simplicity a perfect combination. Last Sunday was the event of my city called Moto Fiesta, more than forty thousand motorcycles rolling, in a unique experience. I rode the thirty kilometers in my little 150cc. Something I expected from last year. Best regards
40.000???. That is very impressive. One of the biggest motorcycle concentrations/events in Europe, usually occurs in the south of Portugal, and it has "only" about 20 thousand motorcycles. As usual, Thank you Alejandro for sharing your perspective about the motorcycle of this week. :) Saludos
Amazing. The integrated led lights are my favorite part
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
I am a bit biased..I have a CB550..But They do convert easily..Great Video..Love the 550’s small fairing...🇬🇧🏍🏍🌎
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Awesome presentation and also you got a kin observations in every detail,it's one of the reasons why I love your videos you're showing the simple details.
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
No Thank you for uploading this kind of videos.
Excellent, so thoughtfully cleaned up and pared down to the essentials needed for carefree riding. :)
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Belíssima máquina! Linhas agradáveis e postura agressiva, sempre em alto nível o trabalho desses construtores. Parabéns! Bela caffracer e excelente vídeo! Grande abraço!
Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua já habitual opinião. :)Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
Original linda moto feita a mão com novidades exclusivas belo vídeo Victor
Obrigado amigo Juraci.:) Um abraço.
wonderful, the bike and the video. And as always, thank you for making racer TV.
Gotta be one of my favorite cafe's i think. Im more of a 4 banger dude but i have a cm450e to build and leaning more to this old school look
Like you Victor, I am drawn in by the simplicity of this bike,
it has "grit" !
A certain attitude about it that makes it look a bit angry !
And I absolutely love that about it !
Would you be able to contact the
Hookie Company, and ask them for a bit of action video of the bike ?
Nothing like being able to actually be able hear it !
It goes back to that "angry" factor again !
Love the subtle detail lines, but it's a sure bet they have many hours of labor to accomplish what now appears simple !
A great choice once again Victor !
Just wow !!! Amazing work RACER TV ....
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Beautiful bike bro
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Beautiful build.
This was my favorite bike at Glemseck this year!
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Oh my God! It's beautiful!
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Simple beauty. Just love it!
I live in Vietnam .. I like chanel Racer TV
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
My third and fourth bikes were Honda CB250 G5s. Truly great little bikes. One was crashed into and the other stolen!
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
as always.. great video & great cafe
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Beautiful!
All I can say is Bad to the Bone baby,.. great video ,beautiful bike!!
Thank you my friend for sharing your usual perspective. :) Cheers.
Love this bike!!! really really love it, it fits the perfectly the real "cafe" idea, it's classic, modern, agressive yet elegant. Amazing what a talented guy can do with a "regular cheap" motorcycle. PS: Watching other videos I've stumble with one of your videos being uploaded for another channel/guy, it gives no credit or link to your channel ¿is this regular or legal?. If you need it I can give you the link to this guy/video so you can ask him to remove or what ever you think propper to do.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. And Thank you for your information. I already saw some of my videos that were "stolen" by other channels.
Fortunately it will never work, and i'm letting them think that they are going to have any advantage on that. But thanks for your support. :) Cheers.
Olá Victor,
Mais uma bela moto em um vídeo muito bem feito. Obrigado!
Gostei muito da moto, realmente passa uma ideia de simplicidade. Tenho adquirido uma certa preferência pelas "pequenas", pois são mais próximas da minha realidade. Motos para customização acima de 400cc no Rio de Janeiro são raras, o "teto" costuma ser a Honda CB 400/450, mas mesmo estas estão cada vez mais raras e as poucas que aparecem estão impecáveis, o que eleva demasiado seu preço. Além disso, eu não teria coragem de cortar uma CB "de colecionador"...
Gostei muito da postura "Salt Racer", é algo que eu não classificaria como uma Cafe Racer até assistir a este vídeo.
Vivendo e aprendendo, no RACER TV!
Abraços!
Olá Amigo Helio. Obrigado amigo por partilhar o seu ponto de vista brasileiro sobre o assunto. Na realidade a "Salt Racer" não é uma cafe racer. Mas acho perfeitamente aceitável que se faça uma cafe racer com uma postura em que a traseira é mais baixa do que a frente. :) Um abraço.
Cai como uma luva na moto que está disponível... Uma Suzuki Intruder 125, ou, como é chamada fora do Brasil, a GN125. A postura do quadro é um grande desafio para uma Cafe Racer....
Hey! I'd better own that bike coz it says my name and my middle initial is also "T" 😄😁
Glad that I've found it here! Cafe lover here in the Philippines 😎
Great video, great motorcycle and great review... cheers
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Linda demais!!! Até a próxima!! Parabéns pelos vídeos!!!!
Obrigado amigo. :) Um abraço.
yes hondas just seem to be perfect for cafe racers especially the honda fours ,and have a look that suits the style .
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
wow those levers with the turn signals ...
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
I also make a cafe racer will u watch it?
TOPPPPP ficou muito bonita,para uns passeios de fim de semana.
Obrigado amigo pelo comentário. :) Um abraço.
RACER TV Sempre! no Top nas buscas das motas mais bonitas do mercado e não me canso de dizer Parabéns por tudo, abraço.
@@RACER_TV que escapes lleva?
Genial como siempre hermosa moto
Gracias. Saludos.
Wellcome to racer tv
Obrigado amigo pelo comentário. :) Um abraço.
Como sempre... divinal.
Obrigado amigo.:) Um abraço.
Great video
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
racer tv devias mostrar mais projetos portugueses e mostrar mais o que ha em portugal!!
Vontade é que não me falta. Mas infelizmente a escolha das motos para os videos da Racer TV, é muito mais complexa do que a maioria das pessoas pode imaginar. Mas prometo apresentar um projecto Português muito em breve. :) Um abraço.
RACER TV isso é que era
Hello, huge fan of your channel! So much so since I found this channel I've began 2 cafe builds. Id really like to hear your thoughts on them !
Hi. Unfortunately, it is very difficult for me answering all messages. But try to send me a photo, in a private message on Racer TV's Facebook Page. I will try to answer you. Thank you my friend for your support. Cheers.
Fiquei com vontade de tirar as setas da minha moto e deixar igual a esta. E como sempre: - Até o próximo projeto.
:) Obrigado amigo Fernando pelo comentário. :) Um abraço.
Stunning. Both of the Hookie motocycles that you've featured are absolutely beautifully done. I would love to know the maker of the headlamp and signals, front and rear, for this project. I am thinking of possibly incorporating one of them into my Honda 550f project.
I'm glad you liked my friend. Unfortunately this headlight seems to be very expensive. Something arround 400 euros. But if you search on google images for "cafe racer modern headlights", you will find similar headlights. Good luck. Cheers.
Motogadget for the front blinkers.
I'm using them on my Duc.
I see😉. Thank You for help😀!
I wants it!
thanks for the video. this is so inspiring...
You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Cheers.
Great video, great review... cheers
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
LINDA
I love cafe racer bikes
that cowl is amazing its not curved, you dont see that alot
Indeed. :) Cheers.
It's perfect
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
What happens to the rear tyre when you go over a large bump? Looks like the rear travel is very limited, but I do like the style.
i understand your point. But usually the rear shocks are hard, which means that the movement of the swing arm is relatively short. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
I like it :)
aaaaaaaaa this +gl200 "dolores" =best cafe racer in history :D
The rear-cover is also used to hide the original frame that was not cut. very nice!
Mmmm, Not exactly. There is a steel part which supports the original seat lock that was cuted. :)
Minor cuts. Nothing that can't be fixed!
Indeed. :)
Really beautiful....😘
The tank lettering was not to my personal taste... but the sheet metalwork on the tank was excellent
@ 4:59 the image highlights the skilled work.
Nice!
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Zeus Custom is still the best.And yes,you presented more than one great bikes from single builder.ZEUS CUSTOM.
Yes, but that is not what i meant in the video. What i meant was that i
never discovered 2 amazing projects from the same builder, but at the same time. At least, as far as i remember. Cheers.
O I See...Thanks for all the great work.Cheers mate.
Excelente vídeo.
Obrigado Pedro. Mas agora fiquei na duvida. Será que por teres gostado deste video, não gostaste do video de hoje? :) Um abraço.
Ainda não o vi :p
Aaaaa, agora já compreendo o teu comentário. Provavelmente estarás a aguardar pelo melhor momento em que poderás ver o video com ums bons auscultadores. :) Um abraço.
Beatiful beatiful machine¡¡¡ :):);)
Bela moto, belo vídeo!!
Obrigado amigo.:) Um abraço.
Canal muito legal.
Obrigado amigo pela simpatia. :) Um abraço.
Amazing machine
Love Honda's I have now 10 in my garage
I bet you still want more hondas. Lol. Thank you my friend for your comment. :) Cheers.
RACER TV
Yes I keep buying them when they are cheap but my garage is getting full. I have two cafe racers a
CB 200 and a CB250. I am in retirement and will build more cafe racers.
By the way I love your channel as it inspires me so much when I see what creativity that others have.
I love cafe racers from watching RACER TV.
Keep up the good work.
George
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Sweet .👍👍
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
just like mine!! :D
Loool.
Motor yg sangat klera sekali.. dan segitu tumpurnya.
muito fixe
guys can someone tell me wat the background music is being played? @Racer tv ??
It is an Instrumental cover from "OneRepublic - Secrets". Cheers.
What more can we want? I want more suspension travel in the rear. The space between the tire & body, is freaking me out. I don't know how perfect the paved roads are in Germany, but in the U.S., I would never run such a short stroke.
I already rode a motorcycle with a very low and hard front suspension, it is hard, but i can assure you that the speed sensation is also much higher. Cheers.
@@RACER_TV
Hmmm...
RACER TV
I think I understand what you mean. The unsettling feeling of a hard suspension, can play into: "it's better to ride a slow bike fast, then a fast bike slow."
Pushing a relatively small & weak bike, to it's limits, can be very fun, and won't draw as much attention & trouble, as doing the same with a bigger, stronger bike.
But I'm not into cafe racers for the style, or a small scale sensation.
I want actual, high end performance.
I grew up with tunercar culture. Turning economy cars into full-blown, personalized racecars...Then I became loyal to motorcycles, cafe racers fall right into that Tuner mindset.
Car or motorcycle, one thing I learned, a suspension stroke, should be long & soft enough, to absorb bumps you expect to encounter. Certain kinds of race vehicles, can get away with low & stuff suspensions, because the tracks they're on, are so smooth. So they can focus more, on low centers of gravity, and reducing excessive body roll.
And you can experiment with how hard the front or rear suspension is, to control which is more able to slide, to personalize oversteer or understeer.
Whether I start my Cafe build, on a CB400F frame, or a Goldwing frame. I want as much grip & stability, as possible. Especially on the bad roads of my country.
I frequently bottom out the front suspension of my moped, on unavoidable potholes, dips, ruts, and bumps. But I still enjoy riding, being on 2 wheels, delivering things for a living. And I'm saving for a cafe build, to replace this scooter. A bike I can hold with my legs, and has a much better suspension, for safety & comfort.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. Good luck for your cafe racer project. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TV
Thank you.
Sir can I ask the size of the rim please it will surely help..again ty for bringing such amazing project love ur channel as usual ...
Thank you. 18 inches on the rear, and 19 inchet at the front weel. :) Cheers.
Please find and make a video with the most beautyfull Yamaha SR500 cafe racer in the world! ;)
Try to search on youtube for "Yamaha SR500 Cafe Racer", and "Yamaha SR400 Cafe Racer". And you will find several of my videos about that motorcycle. Cheers.
Are those the Firestone Champion Deluxe Tires? I am really asking myself what the perfect tires for a 250 should be? Are the wheels the original ones. The front one seems bigger...
Tires are a 18” Firestone Champion Deluxe out back, and a 19” Avon Speedmaster MkII up front.
@@RACER_TV so did he put on an 19" tire on a 18" rim? The original 250 comes with an 3.00-18 front and a 3.50-18 back tire... do you think its the way to go to mount two seperate brands of tires on a bike?
No, 19 inches tires only fit on 19 inch rims. This means that they changed the from rim. There is no problem on having different brand tires. I have to say, that the Avon Speedmaster tire, is only suited for front wheels.
You've done two videos featuring two bikes from Zeus Customs & Max Hazan.
Yes, but that is not what i meant in the video. What i meant was that i never discovered 2 amazing projects from the same builder, but at the same time. At least, as far as i remember. Cheers.
Oh ok. I see what you mean. Thanks for your continued efforts at showcasing some of the best cafe bikes from around the world. *thumb up*
Thank you. :) Cheers.
Boas amigo,quando e q fazemos a tal corrida das 2 125cc.Abraço
Olá Bruno. Está quase. O motor da minha honda foi reconstruido à 2 meses atrás, mas ainda está em rodagem. Assim que os meus 15 cv estiverem operacionais, aí será a altura ideal para a nossa corrida. :) Não te preocupes que a corrida não está esquecida. :) Um abraço.
RACER TV.Ok amigo assim q mota tiver operacional e só marcar dia.Um Abraço e Bons Vídeos
Класс
I'm referencing the supremely sweet black beauty at about 35 sec. 1...Please excuse stupid question. 2...I don't see a battery, is it in the seat?
I believe it is located inside a little black box under the seat. Cheers.
How many inches are the headlights?
which front tires/whells he got front? thx for answer
Is that drum brake? If so then why change disk to drum? Any reason?
Well i see 2 reasons.
1. It looks cleaner and retro then a disk brake.
2- The honda Drum brakes are usually very good. The braking power of a good drum brake is better than an old disc brake. The only problem about drum brakes, is the heat. :) Cheers.
What is the gas thank used on this bike?
Que escapes lleva puestos?
Olá, eu estou procurando um vídeo no seu canal sobre uma moto se não me engano de quatro cilindros (se não me engano) que tinha um ronco bonito, um projeto de Portugal que me lembro que vc tinha tomado conhecimento durante o gentlemen ride... queria revelo, pode me ajudar ?
Será a "Moto Guzzi Lemans 1000 by Ton-up Garage". Tente procurar no youtube com este nome. Depois diga-me se acertei na mota que procura. Um abraço.
RACER TV não, não extamente... =( era uma moto que você se interessou pelo som. Ela passou por você enquanto estavam dirigindo... eu acho que era uma 4 cilindros mesmo...
aaaaaa. Já sei qual é. Por acaso só tem 2 cilindros em linha, mas o som é idêntico a um motor de 2 cilindros em V. procure no youtube por "Yamaha XSR 700 yard built by Rough Crafts". Abraço.
RACER TV issooooooo esse mesmo, muito obrigado. Você é muito gentil com seus inscritos. Não é a toa que seus vídeos são tão bons, são feitos com o mesmo cuidado. =)
I have a b50 going to cafe it.
Thx! Check again please😂
Where can someone like me in the U.S. get tires like these?
Try to search on google for "Firestone deluxe champion", and you
will find several websites where you can buy them. Good luck. Cheers.
What year 250 is this bike?
Where can i buy or how can i make a rear end like this?
Does anyone know the tire size and the rim of this bike .. hookie.co might be busy havent got any reply from them yet maybe anyone can help me. racerTV
Front Tire is a 3.25 R19. The rear weel has 18 inches, and probably 3.50 tire(I am not sure about the 3.50 tire, but it is very near from the real measure). Cheers.
make more video of honda
Thanks for your suggestion. But to be honest, i think i already make too much videos with hondas. :) Cheers.
What tires are those?
Tires are a 18” Firestone Champion Deluxe on the back, and a 19” Avon Speedmaster MkII up front.
what ring size of front tire of it? anyone please help
19” Avon Speedmaster MkII
thanks sir really help,.
😮👍🏼
Nice, but i guess with that exhaust it isn't road legal in germany...
Considering that this is a classic motorcycle from the 70's, and if you try to use an apparent stock exhaust, i think you won't have problems with the authorities. Cheers.
I have meni USSR bikes, Ural, Dnepr. In Ukrain)))
You talk about having an 'individual' design but...most of the bikes are just clones of each other. Nothing really wrong with that I guess. This coming from a guy who built North America's ONLY XL400EX street tracker for, now get this, UNDER $650 !!
+1like 👏👏👏👌😉
Is it a robot talking?
Yes, it is. Unfortunately, things are more complicated than most people may think. 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 american voice in one of my videos, but things didn't worked as i expected. Curiously, the robotic voice sounds very good for all non english natives. Cheers.
the gas tank doent much the tail, i dont like it
Já viu esse projeto www.bikeexif.com/honda-cb600f-cafe-racer ?
Por acaso ainda não tinha visto. Gostei bastante do conceito geral e do resultado final tendo em conta de que se trata de uma CBR. Só não gostei do depósito de combustível. Está demasiado simples e "quadradão". Mas obrigado pela sugestão. :)
RACER TV eu acho que ideia era ser quadrado mesmo para acompanhar as linhas das ferraris antigas.
Look at order 1736😉
Hi Sebi1970. I am not the person who deals with Becaferacer Orders. But i already spoke with my website partners about your order. They are going to check it out as soon as possible. We will keep in touch. Thanks. Cheers.
