If you are looking for amazing projects based on the Honda CX, you must watch this video.
On this episode, you will see the Honda CX 500 by Justin Holmes, owner of PopBang Classics, located in Australia’s Gold Coast.
And you can see also a Honda GL 400(Which is very similar to the CX 500) by Mr. Nihira, owner of Wedge Motorcycle, located in Japan.
2 remarkable transformations, considering the difficulties of changing any original Honda CX, or even the Honda GL.
My special thanks to Pedro Torres, for his great help with my english.
Here are some interesting links about these motorcycles:

Being a motorcycle enthusiast since I was five, and my love for cafe bikes, amd after finding your channel with so many beautiful machines shown here, my son and I with a friend of his have decided to open a custom shop building cafe racers! Hopefully, I can submit a bike or two for you to consider. Thank you for rekindling my passion!!! Your channel is what we watch the most! Keep these amazing bikes coming!!!
Thank you my friend for your support. :) I am glad knowing that my videos are helpful for many others. Cheers.
Two very nice bikes presented today! The CX 500 is the perfect example of the ugly duckling growing up to be a beautiful swan! A very good transformation by these two builders. And, as always, RacerTV is the only choice for quality Café presentations! Thank you my friend.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion, and for your kind words. :) Cheers.
Oh dear. The GL is breath taking.
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Am a Indian and I have a bike customization shop,we are looking for more Royal Enfield custom projects,and finally you are a artist and real enthusiastic about motorcycles great job brotha😍!!
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
"Welcome. . . to Racer TV!"
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
That tank is reminiscent of a short circuit Lyta tank and has to be one of the most appealing tanks ever. Great vid as usual.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Stunning. Both of them.
I'm glad you liked both my friend. :) Cheers.
Some of these machines, (ha! What am I saying?) ...all of these presentations are fabulous! GREAT JOB! And KUDOS TO THE BUILDERS! Can’t wait to see yours...
Lol. Thank you. I'm glad you liked them all my friend. :) Cheers.
Awesome Job on the video! Justin from PopBang is an amazing artist, his workshop is located just down the road from mine. its great to see a local bike builder on your channel :)
I am glad to know that. He builded one of the most beautiful Cx 500 in the world. :)
Hey There Mr. RACER TV.. i'm from Mexico and i Really appreciate such an incredible content you have on your channel .. i want to thank You for your work and ideas .. greetings since the other part of the planet .. and oviously here you are with your LIKE good Sir.
Thank you my friend for all your kind words. I appreciate your support. :) Saludos.
Again a remarkableproject. Thank you very much for this video!
You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Cheers.
The first bike was good, but the second one was even better. I particularly liked the exhaust design, and the tank/seat frame balance was excellent. I think a drum ream and drilled front would be the icing on the cake, aesthetically speaking.
Good work ....every day ....Victor...
Thank you my friend for your comment. :) Cheers.
Dois projetos incríveis!!! Parabéns! Mais um belo vídeo, mais duas referências em café racer! Obrigado!
Obrigado amigo pelo comentário. :) Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
Hello again Victor !
This is one of those projects that you just can't take your eyes off of !
One of those projects that you love, but you just don't know why !
I would actually like to be able to contact this builder, and ask if he would be willing to have a gimpy guy protogé !
He, much like you Victor, has an understanding of design, and proportion !
Which, I could absolutely learn from !
Thanks for making this out of the ordinary video Victor !
You are wellcome. But Which one of the project on this video are you referring to?
Love your previous work. Sorry but I have had my fill of CX500 projects. I'll tune back in when you feature more interesting steel. Best wishes, Jules.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Julian C, who cares about your opinion, keep it and shove it!!
Beautiful frame works
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Great show
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
2 works of art !
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
looking at the position of the pipes on the second build, that bike is perfect for a scrambler model. just add a 19" front wheel and high bars, maybe some rugged shocks. Then you have a beautiful and highy functional motorcycle that can go more places than your usual cafe racer but with just as much style and timeless beauty. And with similar on road performance to boot. (and more comfort)
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Carlos Leon, in your moronic opinion!!
it s looks like a moto guzzi ,good job and thank you RACER TV .
You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Cheers.
Honda's CX is IMHO one of the ugliest standard bikes,but both of these are truly beautiful! Stunning work,excellent video- thank you .👍👍🏁
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. I'm glad you liked these 2 projects :) Cheers.
Great video as always,.. that second motorcycle is awesome. I like that Street Fighter twist.
Thank you my friend for sharing your usual perspective. :) Cheers.
Beautiful
A CX500 é uma das melhores bases para um projeto cafe racer.
Hope your CX turns out awesome..Thank you very much for another great Video....🇬🇧😎🏍🌎
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
É a velha situação: Apesar de reconhecer que a japonesa é mais arrojada, cara e, porque não, mais bonita.. por algum motivo prefiro a australiana. Só não dou nota máxima à CX 500 pela minha teimosia em não curtir rodas e pneus enormes na dianteira.. aliás, eu gostaria realmente de ver esse projeto com rodas 17 à frente e atrás.. só para comparar. No mais, ela é realmente o que você disse: "muito próxima da perfeição.."
E antes que eu me esqueça, reafirmando um antigo comentário meu: Que bela moto você adquiriu.. ela já é linda e imponente do jeito que está!!! É paixão antiga rs.. Abraço, meu caro.
Muito obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. Confesso que também gostaria de ver a primeira CX do video com rodas de 17 polegadas. Mas não sei se perderia um pouco a ilusão do comprimento aparentemente longo da moto. Em relação à minha CX, para ser honesto o estilo dela não me diz nada. Talvez porque nunca foi uma paixão antiga como no seu caso. Lol. :) Um abraço.
Victor boa sorte no seu projeto. A moto que você apresentou na minha opinião só faltou uma suspensão invertida na cor dourada e o assento um pouco mais longo. Isso é um palpite , boa semana a todos ....
Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço e boa semana para Você também.
The wing nuts on the 1st one, are dope.
Thank you my friend for your comment. :) Cheers.
And as always, a great video.
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Bom dia amigo!
Percebo que você terá muito trabalho com seu projeto, e imagino que só a moto pronta lhe dará mais prazer do que o processo de rabiscar cada detalhe, escolher cada peça e testar cada solução.
Permita-me sugerir que você nos dê de presente um relato acurado de como chegou ao seu projeto final, como e porque escolheu os detalhes. Tenho certeza de que você saberá condensar muitas informações em vídeos belissimos que, certamente, vão auxiliar quem está iniciando no mundo das customizações.
Quanto às motos de hoje , a australiana, sem dúvida, é a que mais me agrada: clássica, com um visual irrepreensível. Uma bela e típica Cafe Racer!
Um grande abraço!!!!
Ótima sugestão Helio.
Obrigado amigo pela sugestão. Sinceramente, à bastante tempo que já tinha pensado em fazer o que sugeriu. Actualmente, tenho cerca de 50 fotos em Photoshop com a evolução do meu projecto, e ainda falta corrigir pequenos detalhes. Embora não possa mostrar a imagem final do meu projecto para não estragar o efeito surpresa, posso dizer que está muito perto da perfeição, mesmo sendo diferente destes dois projecto apresentados hoje. :) Um abraço.
Editei o texto. Peço desculpas pela falha.
Awesome video
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Hi there, awesome bikes, they look beautiful. Great video. 😀 👍 👍 👍
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Hello again,
And another couple of great featured choices !
You already know that I am a huge fan of the
CX500 custom cafe build capabilities.
But this CL400 platform definitely has my attention !
Can you please give me a bit more information about his mounting process of the rear wheel hub in the spoked wheel ?
It is my desire to incorporate a spoked classic wheel into my CX500 design !
Absolutely love this classic look of the spoked rim !
Thank you. I am almost sure that the rear hub on the GL 400 project is from Cognito Moto. Here is the link: cognitomoto.com/products/cx500-rear-hub-disc-brake-conversion?variant=22811889793
RACER TV
Once again,
Thank you for your reply !
You are absolutely correct !
Cognito are the right folks !
Thank you for your assistance on that !
Tenho Certeza que sua CX 500 ficara belíssima, pois não faltam criatividade, bom gosto e inspiração em cada vídeo postado, sendo assim é só uma questão de colocar os mesmos elementos em cima de sua criação..... Ficara tão linda ou mais que as duas apresentadas, que são realmente muito belas, difícil escolher entre as duas pois cada uma tem o seu charme absoluto...........:-)
Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião e pela simpatia. Embora não possa mostrar a imagem final do meu projecto para não estragar o efeito surpresa, posso dizer que está muito perto da perfeição, mesmo sendo diferente destes dois projecto apresentados hoje.
:) Um abraço.
Estamos todos ansiosos para ver a sua Cafe Love Racer......Um Abraço tb !!!......:-)
like always it's a pleasure see that's beatifull and powerfull creations :):):)
best wishes from México my dear friend and gentleman
and supportig your channel :):):)
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Saludos.
RACER TV to you my friend :):):)
Top!!!! Sensacional!!! Parabéns pelo trabalho!!!
Obrigado amigo pelo comentário. :) Um abraço.
Parabéns pelo video, até para a semana
Obrigado amigo António.:) Um abraço.
Hermosa moto gran transformacion
Gracias. Saludos.
Excelente video, siempre me han gustado las Honda CX!! See you Next week ✌️🏼😎
Gracias amigo. :) Saludos.
Uau! um show de linhas, cores e sons. E o cano de descarga (escape)? parece uma moldura do motor.
Obrigado amigo Fernando por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.
Em breve cx500 by Racer tv, otimo video THX
Sem duvida. Espero mesmo que seja o mais breve possível. :) Obrigado amigo.:) Um abraço.
Estão todas muito belas..
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado das 2. :) Um abraço.
Dang good video. I love the GL400 from Wedge. What gives this bike a "street fighter twist"?
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
The forward leaning stance.
But that's the case for cafe racers in general, not just street fighters. What give this bike in particular the "street fighter twist"?
cafe racers have you leaning forward but the stance is fairly level. The street fighter stance is is even more forward, the rake (tilt) is more aggressive, hence street fighter name.
That's so helpful. Especially the rake explanation. Thanks much John!
good content, I hope soon and my motorcycle gets into your gear, when I finish of course)
p.s Greetings from Ukraine
Thanks. Try to send me 1 or 2 photos in a private messenge on Racer TV 's Facebook Page.
I can not promise that i am going to reply, but sometimes i have to
see the project, just to see if it is something unexpectedly good, or
the usual kind of project. :) Cheers.
vais ter me meter raios nas tuas rodas!! abraço!
Pois. Essa foi aliás a minha primeira opção desde o inicio. Actualmente já estamos a enraiar as rodas. Só falta mandar fazer o cubo para a roda traseira, o qual será muito semelhante ao da 2ª mota apresentada neste video. :) Um abraço.
2nd bike eas nice but the 1st one was absolute perfection
Tanto uma como a outra estão bem bonitas. Mas a primeira construção está qualquer coisa de muito bom.
Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.
WOW!!!
Valeu Racer! Dois lindos trabalhos de origem ou de influência japonesa. A delicadeza das motos japonesas com suas linhas esguias, estreitas, escapes retilíneos e rodas grandes me fascinam.
Esse motor da CX tem inspiração na Guzzi? Abraço. Vintage.
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. Sim, há quem diga que a CX 500 é a Moto Guzzi dos pobres. Na minha opinião a Cx 500 é uma espécie de versão melhorada da Guzzi, já que a Honda melhorou tudo o que havia para melhorar, tal como a refrigeração a água, 4 válvulas por cilindro, e ignição electrónica, uma das primeiras motos do mundo com esta característica. No entanto, acho que a CX 500 é um motor relativamente "preso", e que foi desenvolvido para ser fiável. Mas no motor da CX 650, tudo é mais solto, notando-se bem no roncar da moto, com muita força nas rotações mais baixas, e também nos 65 cavalos(mais 15 cavalos do que na CX 500). Um abraço.
RACER TV Obrigado pela explicação. Abs
a Primeira moto eu também tenho nas minhas favoritas, mas a segunda se tivesse que escolher as top 10 de 2018 essa já esta sendo a numero 1
Obrigado amigo Alex. Fico contente que tenha gostado tanto da segunda moto. Mas você só diz isso, porque ainda não sabe como vai ficar a minha CX 650 Cafe Racer. Lol. :) Um abraço.
haha! agora você me deixo louco e curioso
Like...like...like.......
Thank you. :) Cheers.
I had this as my wallpaper almost 4 months ago
Maybe in the future your wallpaper is going to have my own CX project. Lol. I know that it sounds bad, but i am sure you will be surprised with my Honda CX 650 project. :) Cheers.
RACER TV you're gonna build a cx
Then good luck for your project
RACER TV you're gonna build a cx
Then good luck for your project
Think I heard your voice on a techtalk video about external gpu cards. 🤔
You are right. It is the same voice from my software. :) Thanks for the information. Cheers.
Looks that kill, wow the cafe racers
Thank you my friend for your comment. :) Cheers.
Sempurna
Everything is best,but please dont make so much pause when you say : Welcome ......................to Racer TV 😃
Thank you. Curiously, since i began this channel, you are the first person saying that don't like that long pause. Most Views usually say that they love it. It is like saying that you are realy welcome. But thanks for sharing your opinion. Cheers.
Exactly opposite: keep up with pause, brings weight to it! I know, I’ve been trained (many times) as a public speaker😉
Thank you my friend. I am glad you agree. It is nice having a professional opinion. :) Cheers.
What is the different between cx500 And gl400
How much does it cost can anyone tell me please
I like your videos but could you feature other makes? The majority are Honda Cafe's here. Nothing wrong with them but some of us have other brands and deserve a little recognition.
Thank you my friend for the sugestion. I always choose projects that i really like. Considering that Japanese Cafe Racers are the most popular, it is hard to find different brands. :) Cheers.
How to buy this one
do you have a Yamaha ybr125 Cafe Racer?
Try to search on youtube for "small Cafe Racers, and you will find 2 of my videos where you can find 1 or 2 examples. Cheers.
price and cost????
Sorry my friend, but that is a very difficult question, because it has so many variables that can influence the final cost of the project. But it is really expensive considerar the amount of work on each one of these projects. Cheers.
RACER TV THANKS
Is the story of the ugly duck, which, turned into a beautiful swan.
Indeed. :) Thank you my friend for your comment. :) Cheers.
Genial como siempre.
