You don't made a cafe racer bike if you were looking for a comfort. The only comfort i get when riding my bike is compliment from other commuters when we are waiting in a red light, or when i park my bike somewhere. But riding comfort, hell no, i even doesn't understand comfort riding since i use my cafe racer bike, but i don't care. The bike is my soul.
If I want to optimize physical comfort, I'll stay in bed under blanket watching Netflix. If I want mental comfort, I'll drive my cafe racer with open face helmet, fully exposed to surrounding elements. My lower back could be little sore after few hours, but in my head I'm in paradise.
I had a Rickman with a Honda 4 in it. At 120kph, it held my weight (75kg) off my wrists so I had no problem with riding it from the Mid North Coast of NSW to Sydney in the rain. No trouble. Around 500 kilometers (300 miles, roughly.)
My bike feels bad for my back and hands at low speeds. It is only good once speed is over 100 km/h because of wind. But I guess a big part is like you said how you set it up. Mine was built completely to look good.
I have ridden many styles of motorcycles. The only style lve ever found comfortable is what l'd call a standard. Leaning on your hands, legs cramped underneath you, feet extended forward, hands elevated above your torso. IMO none of these riding positions are comfortable for extended periods of time. Do l like cafe racers, love em. I'm not too likely to build or purchase one with the above mentioned riding positions. I'll accept that the young man in the video is comfortable since he says he is.
Well in the UK it makes pretty much sense to rather drive a bike than a car, cuz we all know the stupid traffic,cheaper and more enjoyable..if you go to work why not do it in style am I right, I only drive a car when I really need to,otherwhise bikebikebike :)
I would put the comfort level of a cafe racer above that of a modern sportbike, mostly because your legs are not in such an aggressive position and because you could always just cut into the side of your seat, put some gel pads in there and stitch it back together if you don't want your ass to be sore.
Depending on your needs, if you need comfortable, I think you must have cruiser bike..., if i have a caferacer ....I'll just drive to hangout... Basically i like classic british bike such bsa, matchless etc...i usually do a touring probably with those classics 350km - 800km....but absolutely i don't do it with caferacer.... 😅
in fact its much worse due to the ergonomics differences. A cafe racer with no rear sets is basically a standard motorcycle with a hunched posture. At least sport bikes come standard with rearsets & the proper fairings to make it more or less comfortable. I ride my cafe daily to work and hopped on my colleague’s R3 quite a few times. The difference is alot.
how is it on the highway, considering a sr400 for a commuter, i do about 30 min of highway, with speeds up to 70pmh. Would love to see highway run videos, thanks. oh and I love these sr400 videos very very informative
Am I the only one who doesn't find cruisers comfortable? They make my back really sore, I'd rather have my feet set back and be leaned over slightly. I'd go with clip-ons myself.
Gerard Montgomery I feel the same way on my Yamaha Road star. Your feet in front of you and all the weight is on your ass. Feet foreword and hands foreword kills my back.
you aren't gonna get many subs if you talk to them like they are idiots and constantly contradict yourself by listing off a load of ways that you can look cooler but be less comfortable

Its the price of looking cool.
When did skinny jeans or high heel shoes become comfortable but we suffer to look cool.
How insecure?? 🤐
You don’t look cool in skinny jeans

Dimas Irvan sounds like me when i get my bike customized soon 💯

Exactly my brother 💯

for city rides are ok...but for cruising....my back,my shoulders and hands pffff....
The Masterton .Im in my forties. Neck and wrists after about 30 mins are toast.
So then the answer is "no" gentlemen

What bike is suitable for long distance rid ?
what does it matter? it's all about style chaps, it's all about style
unless you are commuting or using it to travel so other than posing they are useless!
My bike feels bad for my back and hands at low speeds. It is only good once speed is over 100 km/h because of wind. But I guess a big part is like you said how you set it up. Mine was built completely to look good.
Yeah, almost any bike is confortable if you're small...
Iridium Yes, you right. Small people might not have a problem
Nice
I'm 5'5 so I think that's good news
Frik I’m 6’4 so I think that’s bad news

I agree, you can always move/change the reasets or move/change the seat.
This Yamaha SR 400 is one of the coolest bike. 😎👍🏼
Love the Dog at the end that’s how I feel riding mine😂
I get a thumbs up pretty much every time I ride my cafe bike! Love it
No comfortable at all.. maybe some quick sprints around town would be ok..

I can ride my friends cafe bike for about 4 minutes. Its ridiculous.
Video ends 0:05 lol
I just can't get behind them, even sport bikes are a no go for me. At 6ft I feel like most bikes just have bad ergos
Depends on who you ask if you have a full blown Cafe Racer then it'll be like jumping on a sports bike

Sancho Panso no. Mine is awful on the freeways. The motor is revving high and the wind blows me all over the place!
Tommy Cruz that's one of the first comments I've read saying that about the sr, but very interesting!
Can you elaborate?
Nice riding boots you have there
Stopped listening at 7 seconds. Cut my CB550 in half.
Great video! Enjoyed it thoroughly! Keep up the good work
the guys who have 'em dont know the difference.
What a great fun motorcycle SR 400 Yamaha, love the cafe look.
Comfortable? . Noooo . What for?.
Skip at 0:10
Is this a good beginners bike? Looks awesome. Tha la for the vid!
Why the fuck are half the people in the comments even watching this video? Sounds like they've already made up their mind
