Looking for Cafe Racer

This flow of motorcycle modification titled Cafe Racer has been known in the UK since the 1950s. Later around the middle of 2011, in Indonesia began to bloom similar flow. Is it suitable for this type of motor change to be applied here? Cafe Racer itself dates back to the postwar world era. At that time the British were flooded with young men who had just returned from the war. These people come from lower middle class families who still have difficulty getting jobs.

All equipment that doesn't need to be bought. The steering angle is made more upright with the handlebars lowered. The rear wheel axis is shortened from its original size. Seating is usually made minimalist with the shape of a tail wasp behind it.

These resting places at that time were called Cafe. The amount also mushroomed along the inter-city road. This group of young men with modification motorbikes often moves from one cafe to another to just hang out. When moving, they spur the motorbike to get to the destination first. From here, then the term Cafe Racer is embedded in this group.
