I was literally just watching one of your older videos- because I was needing to get my "Racer TV" fix. Then low and behold- you appear with a new video! What a treat! ☺️
This is my front runner for #1 of 2021 Your videos are the best in the custom cafe racer genre Always appreciate your work and I believe you do a great service to the customs these craftsmen have built.
Such a beautiful bike... Love the style, love the paint work, love the tank shape. This bike deserve tp be in my top ten, those builders are wizards, otherwise how could this bike be????
Since finding your channel, I have seen many amazing machines presented here. The CX series bikes never really captured my attention until you began showcasing them. Yours is an excellent example! This build is absolutely beautiful. The modifications are elegant, not overstated, and fit perfecy. I much preffer the angular style tank over the more rounded shapes. The exhaust note is symphonic and pleasing. What an all around amazing machine...
This bike in my honest opinion is one of the best looking custom CX's I have ever seen, here in Australia these bikes can still be purchased in standard form for a reasonable price, customized versions are a rare sight here as the bikes have a cult following with many owners keeping them original.
I'm in the planning stages of building a cb750 cafe. Found your channel hunting inspiration. Subscribed because your channel is the best cafe channel on youtube.
A great example showing that customizing has always some level of engineering, in this case, a tough one :). I just love the general balance, but specially the fuel tank "cubic" lines. Stands great! The line between Café Racer and "Racing Bobber" becomes thinner every year... :) and that makes me happy :).
The difficult by its difficulty is an unprecedented pleasure to achieve it. In truth Honda did well to discontinue that latest model of motorcycle is certainly boring and visually ugly. But the engine is something else: a beast locked in a complicated cage. It took someone's talent to do something like that. Seeing the possibility is something we can all do, but achieving it requires talent and passion. The tank simply achieves a visual success that forces the gaze to be directed towards it. When one finds out that it is only due to cutting the lower part of it, myself does not cease to be surprised. The mechanism created to hold the monoshock gives it a powerful appearance, not to mention the rear wheel covers that create a balance between the modern monoshock and the retro of the aforementioned covers. A perfect balance. I really envy the lucky customer from England who is going to get something exceptional. As always dear friend um abraço forte e carinhoso desde México lindo y querido.
A well thought out project with a very beautiful color scheme and design. The seat and tank are nice and “fit” the CX very well. This is a great video presentation of yet another CX. As always, thank you for Racer TV, the Café racers only choice! Hope you are able to be riding Frankenstein and are doing well! Ride safe my dear friend… Cheers!
Perfect blend of modern and retro, Love it. Nice balance of brutal aggression and elegant refinement.- looks factory built. Tossa R is an amusing sounding name in English slang too...(no bad thing, it's memorable) Thanks, much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
Lovely well thought out bike. I love the look of the slightly modified original tank. I initially thought it was a custom built one off tank. It definitely looks better with the rear cowl fitted but I'm not a fan of the rear wheel. Personally I think a nice set of wire wheels would be the icing on the cake of an otherwise fantastic bike. Great video too Vitor. It makes me wish my car restoration project was finished so I could clear some space in my garage for a CX project. Kind regards Paul 🇬🇧
I offer a humble argument. I am fairly new to the cafe racer building world, just finishing my second. I was left to believe that one of the core concepts of a cafe racer was to loose visual obstructions and create more open spaces in the bike. I understand that some amount of give is needed in bike definitions but this strikes me much more as a street fighter.
I understand your perspective. To be honest, i think the definition of what and how a cafe racer should look like, can have several different interpretations. It is something that is always evolving. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Once again, another beautiful bike. Nice upgraded suspension & breaks no doubt, it's odd that hardly anyone bothers to give the engines in these an upgrade even though they were never a sporty bike. I'm not sure about the wheels, imhho they should be one or the other, the seat hanger is a well thought out idea & just lifting the tank changes the whole look, it's the simple things that make all the difference while being the hardest things to pull off. Now all that needs to be done is convert it to "Right hand drive".
Loool. "Right hand drive". That is a good one. The only thing that this honda is lacking, is the CX650 engine. :)Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
We miss out on a lot of the good & quality stuff here in Malaysia - Yet we actuallypay more than the highest/premium spec variant but get the lowest spec This country is moving backwards in time because of the Majority population :'(
If I got the option of riding beautiful Scarlett 'J' or riding that beautiful motorcycle, I'd choose the two wheeled honey! Maybe Sad, but, true!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant and beautiful build. Love the upside down forks and the modified rear mono shock.
In Britain, we never called the CX500 the Euro Spot we called it the "plastic pig." Thousands of dispatch riders couldn't be wrong though. They wanted performance and reliability with fuel efficiency. I have always thought the CX 500 engine a very beautiful design. Its push rods gave it wonderful proportions. It's all a matter of taste but I would have just gone for spoked wheels as there is just something about them that I love. The rest of the bike especially the change to the tank are brilliant.
I understand your perspective. Maybe the folowing link will change your mind: th-cam.com/video/0sC83b2RXb4/w-d-xo.html It is about my own CX 650, which engine soul is very diferent from the CX500. :) Cheers.
Brother . Just as i was thinking yesterday after watching it in my insta feed. That how did you miss this build!. Seems you didn’t as i see . Amazing bike built.👍🏼🙏
Yes, I recognize I took a while to present this Cx on the Channel. But that is also related to the lack of Video content about it. But when I found a video with this Cx riding on the street, I finaly had enouph content to make a full video. :) Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
I keep waiting for someone to do a cafe racer custom out of either the CX500 or 650 Turbo but I guess it would be a bit of a shame to chop one up if it was in good shape given their low production numbers. They were lovely bikes in the day.
Yes, you are right. But the main frame is the same. I was talking from a general perspective, that this was the last CX in general, but not the last honda CX model. Bu Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Really nice CX project. What about some news of your XS650 project you started? I started dismantling a SR500 (barnfind) and also started a TH-cam series about it ;-) Can't wait for further Racer TV episodes. Cheers
Thanks. I still don't have news about the XS Project. Unfortunately, Leonel has been very busy lately, and the project is still on the same spot. Let's hope that during the following moths, the XS project could go on as I imagined.:) Thank you my friend for your support. Good luck for your project.:) Cheers.
I owned a couple of these thirtyish years ago when I was a London courier. One of the ugliest looking (and porkiest) bikes in stock condition, but absolutely perfect in café racer form. And for a bonus, the water pump is far, far easier to access when the seal eventually fails!
I am very happy to see my COO (Country of Origine) and to see very capable people. I ve two CX500B. Waiting.😮😅😮
This is the most beautiful motorcycle I ever seen
