Cafe Racer: The Motorcycle: Featherbeds, clip-ons, rear-sets and the making of a ton-up boy

The condition of the magazine was great , the shipping was surprisingly fast considering it was purchased In around Christmas time

have not yet received this. TOO SLOW!!!

"Cafe Racer" is Mike Seate's best book to date. Instead of just random photos of choppers with no real link ( "Outlaw Choppers" ) this book is thoroughly researched, well written and cohesive. It will certainly be considered THE historical written document of the cafe racer phenomena. He smartly includes all types of bikes that are part of the history of the cafe racer and bikes that are part of the current scene. For instance, here in Detroit, the brand new Cafe Racer Ypsilanti is using many different mills to build some interesting caffs. Seate includes the Honda 750cc example as a bike being used for modern cafe racers, not limiting to only English bikes.The layout is superb. The photos are great. Seate has really grown with this publication ( I purchased his early work "Two Wheels on Two Reels" and was sorely dissapointed and wrote a negative review )and every serious motorbike enthusiast should include this book in their collection. Well done.

Mike does a very good job pulling together historical information for this book, and adds a personal touch talking about his own café aspirations. I'm a café racer nut, so I eat up all the information I can get about this brief era in motorcycling that has now become quite popular here of late. I recommend this book for the library of anyone interested in the Rockers' café racer history.

The book was well written. I happen to like Mike's writing style so therefore enjoyed this book. Great period photos and good ideas for modern Cafes. Clearly a good text for someone who wishes to learn about these great machines and the people that have an affinity for them.

For a general overview of the cafe racer scene, this book was great. If you are looking to build one yourself, this book is not what you are looking for. Of course, if you are looking to build a cafe racer, doing it yourself and not from a book is the whole point.

The "Japanese Motorcycle Wars" is a must read for the serious historian. Most motorcycle enthusiasts, however, would not wade through the details.

It's good to see more new material for this old subjet. I've enjoyed reading it and will recomended to my friends.

All like. No dislike.

The book looks very tidy and fine. But about 85% off the pages was like glued together. It took me 3 to 4 hours to open the book. There are some damages on some pages.

Not a definitive book on the subject but nevertheless plenty of useful info & pics on a subject that clearly is subject to folklore & legend

ok

Sehr gutes Produkt, welches den Erwartungen entspricht und in Summe mit allen angaben, welchen vom Hersteller gemacht wurden, übereinstimmt und daher zu Empfehlen ist.
