Today i bring a different presentation from the usual.
2 similar cafe racers from the same Builder.
The base motorcycle model is the Yamaha XV 750 Virago.
Both built by Eak K Speed Customs, in Thailand.
One of them is named of "Blue blaster", and the other is the "Red Roarer".
Enjoy
My special thanks to Pedro Torres, for his great help with my english.
Here are some interesting links about this motorcycle:

As always the racer tv never lets me down best bikes ever detail is amazing form boring bikes to art thanks AGAIN for showing me how things can look brilliant 👍🇬🇧
Banco curto, v2, rodas grandes, monoshock. Tudo que eu adoro. Muito bom!
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
I don't know why I fail in love with the blue one 💙💙💙
Yes, the tremendously versatile Virago. One guy even used a Virago motor in his home-built airplane! Racer, no one can reveal the secrets of a design like you do! The shot of the two bikes with the front wheel merged, the morphing photos, the demonstration of the proportions: all done very effectively.
Thank you my friend for all your usual kind words. I appreciate your support. :) Cheers.
I really have to sit and stare at both bikes for a few more days! This much eye candy is hard to swallow in one viewing. Okay, for me the blue bike just plain works beautifully!!! Thank you so much !
Lol. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Uau!!! Sem palavras, dois belos exemplares e um vídeo a altura... Magnífico
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
You never fail to amaze me sir
its so satisfying to watch your videos!!
Love from India.
With no doubt i say, thailand are the most expert country in makin cafe racer.. I am your neighbour, malaysian
....no doubt!!.
Gorgeous!!!!! 😮
Another cool video
Mi amigo caballero Racer TV
Regards from México 🤗
Gracias amigo. :) Saludos.
Caro amigo, ficou muito legal esse dueto, Blue & Red.
Não seria capaz de imaginar que uma Virago daria uma Cafe Racer tão ousada.
Tenho, graças a você e seus videos, estudado a Proporção Divina. Para alguém como eu, de talento mediano, do tipo que "aprende por tentativa e erro", a Proporção Divina traz a enorme dificuldade de planejar cada detalhe com antecedência. Mas hoje você nos deu outra prova do quanto ela é importante.
Se tivesse que escolher entre as motos, ficaria com a vermelha, que me pareceu levemente mais rústica.
Saudações e obrigado por mais este vídeo.
Obrigado amigo Helio por partilhar a sua opinião, sobre as motos e sobre a proporção divina. :) Um abraço.
Projetos esplendidos. Analise perfeita. Tambem possuo uma Virago 750 1995 cafe racer, com suspençao invertida da Triumph 1050 e tanque de RD 350 1973. Descupe a modestia, mas linda tabem. Grande abraço!
Good job .. so so nice
Thanks racer tv.

I hope for another Virago video, but from a Virago with 2 suspensions... Such Café Racers are really rare...
Realmente dois belos projetos! Não consegui escolher somente uma. Bela apresentação! Parabéns! Como sempre um excelente vídeo! Abraço!!!
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
A azul ficou muito bacana, mais parabéns aos construtores e boa semana para todos.
Obrigado amigo Alex por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.
Thank you for a great video. Great bikes.
Great presentation of these two finely crafted machines. I appreciate the background on the fuel tank. These are beautiful tanks with correctly proportioned knee dents, but, what else would one expect from the Italian designers! Thank you for Racer TV, the Café Racers only choice! Have a great weekend my friend, and I hope your build is progressing as planned.
Thank you my dear friend for sharing your perspective. :) About my CX project, to be honest, i think it is going to look much better than i imagined, but the building process is much harder than i thought. I hope to ride it next Month. :) I wish you a good weekend too. Cheers.
Incríveis os projetos, ao mesmo tempo que são parecidos, nos detalhes são destintos.
Obrigado amigo Alex por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.
Those Tyre brand had me rolling.... 😂
Prefer the blue one..Would like wheels to be spoke ones..Cool exhaust pipes...always a great Video..😎🏍
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
1.618 divine - Fibonacci sequence. Thanks for sharing.
The blue one wins the red one, and with that brand of tires ...
(Only the Portuguese understand, I'm afraid.)
Thanks for sharing mate.
Lol. I thought that the "Fuck" word was universal already. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
You are a bit smug but I subscribe and watch for the art of building and the video quality. The bikes are extraordinary. Not a bad trade! 😂😂
Very nice. Great bike for cafe racer project
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Exelente gracias a ti pude hacer mi cafe racer de una 100cc
Parabéns pelo vídeo, uma abraço até para a semana
Obrigado amigo.:) Um abraço.

WOWW Perfect n Excellent
*Que surpresa agradável, dois projetos em um video. Gostei das duas, mas ficaria com a azul.*
Obrigado amigo fernando por partilhar a sua habitual opinião. :) Um abraço.
Blue one 💙. Both very nice 👍
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
The helmet in 1:15 looks nice. Does somebody know what kind of helmet that is? It fits the retro style so well!
CONGRATULATIOSN FROM BRASIL, NICE CHANNEL
Thank you. :) Um abraço.
the yellow XV is the best looking one
Can u pls make vid for cb650r cafe racer type? And also
i thought i was watching discovery channel :) great voice bro tnx a lot
Good look
Hermosas 😍
great builds, well done. not my cup of tea but yes the proportions work beautifully. thank you Racer TV
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
It is difficult to say which of the two bikes I like the most, maybe the blue one because of the inverted suspension. But in both, everything seems to work visually. Maybe the colors do not appeal to me but that is a matter of personal tastes. Definitely, Thailand is a country that has to look at its designs in café racer, because it is so far, the only country with a motorcycle brand, dedicated to a mass market with cafe racer designs: the Stallion.
Olá amigo Alejandro. Yes, it seems the motorcycle market in Thailand is huge. Curiously, yesterday i heard that Stallion brand is going to sell motorcycles here in Portugal. But it seems that is not official yet. :) Thank you my friend for sharing your usual perspective. :) Saludos.
Hermosas máquinas, me hubiera gustado que tengan guarda barros, pero son muy bellas motos..
Gracias amigo. :) Saludos.
Great video as always! The voice cracked me up when it said Mojave though. Idk if this helps but maybe look up a video: məʊˈhɑːvɪ is the pronunciation, like the Mojave Desert in California. Unless perhaps it's pronounced differently in the bike world then I don't know.
Sorry about that. To be honest, being a name from an italian fuel tank, i thought that it would be spoken as we(Portugueses) usually read. Thank you my friend for your comment. :) Cheers.
Excellent 😮👍🏼
Pick of the lot ! Sir great work again ...but plz listen to me ...do some video work on small bikes ...thank you
Thank you for your sugestion. I am working about a general video with small Cafe Racers. :) Cheers.
Interesting ! I prefer the blue blaster but the carb would be an issue for me ? Great work 👍🏻🏁
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Onde tem legenda em Português deste vídeo?
I like the neoclassical caff styling,but I'm sure they wouldn't handle great with those tyres. Cool tho! 👍👍
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
inkitatus1 actually the tires look like they would be quite stable, much better than thin tires that seem to catch every crack in the road. Ride safe.
mad for cafe raicer
Fack, i have to obtain my motorcycle licence now :p
Yep we must☺
Love the red one because of the lines of exhausts and single carb. It gives a great look! On the blue one I don't really like the exhausts and the rear brake disk... Do you know what is the brand of front light optics?
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. I think the housing ring is custom made, but the headlight is probably this one in the link:

Hi. A question. Are these motorcycles designed to ride in rainy conditions? Because as I see them, I think they are only for driving on sunny days. Can you please get me out of doubt? Thank you.
Not that anyone asked me,
but for my personal taste,
I would prefer the Blue (
While it is absolutely a matter of personal liking to be sure !
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
ใช่ เจ เจตริน ปะครับเสื้อขาว K-speed
Hello !!! your work is amazing i learn lots of stuff !! BUT I HAVE A QUESTION I rarely see 2 sits cafe racer even if its not the goal i love the shape of CR i want to custom a virago 535 for 2 is it possible ? do you have known exemple ??? thank youu
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Yes, it is perfectly possible. I am building my own cafe racer(Honda CX 650), and it will have a proper cafe racer seat with a rear cowl. Cheak out this link: th-cam.com/video/A1rE5FgIUk0/w-d-xo.html Cheers.
Beutefoul both
I like there creations
For a second with this voice, i thought is was a video for a new iPhone 😂
By the way, really really really beautiful cafe racer 🤘🏻
Lol. I'm glad you liked the project my friend. :) Cheers.
Awesome
when you say the fuel tank and seat are correctly proportioned to eachother, what's the rule there?
Nice car
Muy buena moto me gusto mucho
Gracias amigo. :) Saludos.
You should take a peek to a builder called JTEC MOTO, it has very interisting proyects.
Thank you my friend for your sugestion. You are right. Most of their projects are very interesting, but not exactly what i am looking for. :) Cheers.
que tipo de llantas ocupan?
Wow..
Bellas pero esos neumáticos, especialmente el delantero seguramente descomponen el manejo, además de que visualmente el mensaje es la pose por encima del desempeño y eso estéticamente no funciona. Como siempre excelente video.
Cool
Top down triangular composition basically.
I like the overall looks of both projects but cannot avoid thinking that these conversions from dual to mono-shock rear suspensions are very suspicious. All the new loads and stresses that are applied to the frame after the conversion must be thoroughly checked, but I doubt people do that. The frame of the red bike is not designed to receive loads on that specific mounting point of the new rear suspension, and we don't even know the state of the welds... people take great care of welding processes on a factory for a reason. Riding that bike at 100MPH must be like Russian roulete.
I understand what you say, but i think the central structure of these 2 virago models are very similar, if not identical. For this reason, i don't see any problem about the force distributions. But thanks for sharing your perspective. Cheers.
I can understand why you follow this reasoning. The issue here is exactly "seeing"... it's a word you used. If you eventually follow the path of mechanical engineering, once you get a grip on stress analysis, resistance to fatigue, vibrations, finite element analysis and so forth you'll start seeing things that otherwise would go unnoticed. In the very end it will be a matter of putting a human life on the line... some people will do that by just trying to "see" force distributions and play the Russian roulette (and don't get me wrong, they still might luck out and nothing bad will happen) and some people won't be satisfied with such a loose approach. It will be a personal matter in the end, but surely it will be more than just personal taste.
Zer01 I agree. If being an engineering student has taught me anything its that my intuition was wrong about 90% of the time. I think a real analysis of this suspension would have some surprising results
I actually tried solving all the forces on my own bike build if I were to convert it into a monoshock (low displacement tracker build); shear stress, bending etc. with a rough estimate of the kind of metals manufactures use and with rough estimates of the forces (nobody jumps these kinds of motorcycles) and as it turns out, they are very little, the worst you can do is if you have a hardtail motorcycle and you do really high jumps on it which would result in bending and not even cracking.
tl:dr very rarely will a modified rear suspension setup fail because they are almost always over engineered to take large loads when in fact they almost take nothing at all. oh and I also consulted our professor for our mechanics of deformable bodies class, he said these kinda welds and shapes are fine.
you don't have to worry about these coming apart basically but I'm not sure if they are designed correctly so that they move akin to that of a stock one.
Hey man that's awesome. As I said, one could to it "by feel" and still luck out. It is much different when you actually run the numbers. Where I live you can only make such modifications legal if you run the numbers and sign the project as a mechanical engineer. That's what I'm trying to do now.
You would think I'd be bored of saying it by now, but no, never. Yet another excellent production my friend. I think the names are a bit shit, but the bikes themselves, well, what can I say? They are so very pretty, i must say their a little unfinished for me, I like mudguards, i don't think a bikes finished with out them, maybe it's because I live in Britain, all that rain. I'm not normally one for red, although my Gix is red, and I've just bought red grafix for my 91 Genesis. I must say I love the stance of the blue one, it looks like it would handle very well, up until the point where it didn't, it's kind of similar to my stunt bike.
Thank you my friend for sharing your honest perspective. That is exactly what i like to know from the Fans of Racer TV. Because it helps me to find what most people really think. :) Cheers.
awsome.......
please watch Arie Perkasa chanel, thankyu :)
I really like cafe racer but i cant afford ugh 😅
Infelizmente no Brasil e impossível montar uma moto desses ..
Blue is nyc
THAILAND 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭👍👍👍👍
So when are we gonna talk about the fact that the tires on the blue bike say "Fuckstone" hahaha
Lol. I already talked about that in one of my videos. They are replicas of the "Firestone deluxe champion". tires. :) Cheers.
Hola RACER TV, CUALES SON LOS REQUISITOS PARA QUE MI MOTOCICLETA APAREZCA RN TU CANAL??
The number 1 rule is, I have to love it. After that, it all depends on the originality of the project, the difficulty of the project, the model of the project's donor motorcycle, etc. :) Saludos.
カッコいい
Cool bike
I have build a chopper bike
See in my Chanel
My chopper bike
The Benelli Mojave tank is the iconic look for the Virago cafe racer created by Greg Hageman. However, at 10 litre capacity it is way too small for any practical motorcycle and is not a direct fit by any stretch of the imagination, at least not the myriad of copies out there.
It does make for a nice looking bike though and these two are a great example.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
How many price this bike
รถพี่เจกะรถเจ้าสำนักสองคันนี้สร้างได้สุดมากครับ K-speed Custom Thailand
Vermelho chama mais atenção
K-Speed thailand
it’s about as much a racer as the 1947 Harley that these tires were on originally.
Stephen Hawking is really getting into these bike videos.
may I ask what is the type of the headlight?
The front grill seems to be custom made. But the headlight is probably a LED headlight. Try to search on google for "motorcycle LED headlight". Cheers.
What are the perfect proportion for a bike? Is there a formula?
1.618... (the golden ratio)
How do you use that number please?
Stavros Katsipodas m.th-cam.com/video/sJHD1RZ1x54/w-d-xo.html, hope this will help you😊.
Actually, this is one of Racer's favorite topics. Go into the Racer TV archives. There are many videos where he demonstrates how various designs use the golden ratio, either consciously or unconsciously; and in a few videos, the golden ratio is his main topic, and he explains in depth what he means. Must-see viewing for anyone planning his own project !!!
Try to search on youtube for "cafe Racer Formula", and you will find 2 of my videos about this. Cheers.
which price
Both bikes look good indeed, but some of the details seem out of place. Having a mono shock suspension on a retro styled cafe racer seems odd. And I also find that the tires are a little too fat. Would look nicer with a set of larger wire wheels and smaller tires.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Shark Boy Shannon, can't wait to see your project bike....oh..you don't have one...so....you only talk about others job, yes like many others smart ass
Carlos Google Maps Hey, hey. I’m merely voicing out my opinions and suggestions with no intentions of bashing both builders, don’t perceive it as such.
What is the Brand of the front light on the red ???
I think the housing ring is custom made, but the headlight is probably this one in the link:

RACER TV thanks !!
price
thank god they named it red roarer instead of red rocket
blue
Hlo bro where r u from?
I am From Portugal.
what headlight is used on red?
Sorry, but i have no idea. Cheers.
These things look so ugly stock but so beautiful after customizing I want one so bad!
Could someone please tell me where to find those headlights?

Thank you! Love your channel by the way. Keep up the great work!
Would that be Mojave as in Mohave... Mo... Have... Y...?
I didn't know this when i made this video, but the correct pronunciation is Mojave. :)
Red...
Customs Thailand
Look. I am not a pro builder, just an enthusiast. Began a project on a Honda cbx 750 ‘88. How can I send you pics?
Hi. Try to send me 1 or 2 photos in a private message on Racer TV 's
Facebook Page. :) Cheers.
Need more aggressive cams
Like some cafes, just not these 2. Fuckstone tires for sukstone bikes imo.
