Ninja 250 Cafe Racer
Well I bought a ninja 250. But it looked like all the others out there. So being a suby owner and loving to mod things I did this.
I bought the Blue Collar Bobber Cafe Racer kit. Here it is.
Before
stripped
cut off rear seat supports
new seat support
new tail lights
side panels
new license plate mount
new instrument cluster
new front lights
new front fender and bigger front tire
test fitting tank
new tail end
almost complete
finished project

Neckbeards don't ride motorcycles, they sit in their parent's basement and talk **** about people that ride motorcycles since they are jealous that they are too uncoordinated to ride them.

I like the idea! I don't vape but my neckbeard game is decent
I feel like it's missing something, just not sure what. Have more photos of the finished product?
I've been wanting to build a cafe bike for awhile now, really try and fit in with these SF crowds. Eventually I'll buy some tighter pants, I haven't quite gotten that far. My vision is decent too so no need for thick rimmed glasses... yet.
This is what I want. Ultimately it won't be this awesome, there's a lot of work put into this bike. But he's got the idea I'd like to steal inspiration for

kid, try and remember I rode motocross and street bikes before you were born, two pins in the knee and screws in the hip to show for it. The whole 'cafe" thing is mostly a hipster thing. Its a trend, not really more than a blip.

HIPSTERS are a blip, they too will pass, and honestly not soon enough.
I have some friends who ride classics (most of which are cafe and european) through norcal during the summer every year and hundreds of them go together. No bike newer than 1970 is allowed. Modern, cafe, who cares? Do what you like
LOL, not sure actually, but I thought it was pretty creative. I only noticed it on my way out of a car show and I was the only one checking it out because most people did not notice that it was not your typical chopper.
