Half Cafe, half Bobber. An XS would have been a better engine for the project.

I like it quite a bit. A little bit of a throwback to an earlier era mixed in with a few modern twists.
Surely it's better than a blockily hardtailed xs with a sporty tank precariously perched akwardly high upon the center tube.

My poor old Dad tried to get me to buy his 1938 Speedtwin (same style as above) for £50 in 1976 but I wasnt intrested , worth £5000 in todays market !..Nobody was back then , we were sick of British iron.. The XS is a (poor, some say..) substitute for that classic stuff that we werent intrested in then but now cant afford !

I don't know about you guys, but I absolutely love that bike. I first saw it in the Iron Horse magazine. In my defense, I look for unique features in a custom motorcycle that set it apart from other similar bikes. The board tracker look in not new, but it was pulled off rather well.

Looks like an old Board Track racer. I like it.
I can't imagine it's to comfortable to ride though.
Cheers
Michael
