Id like to see some of the cool looking roadster style bikes out there. Im new to this site. Nobody seems to post pics. Im looking for a bit of inspiration here. A picture is worth a thousand words. Keep it on one wheel. Mitch  |

Norton ... beautiful machine... not a single freakin thing on that bike not to like... What would you consider to be the major difference between a "cafe racer" and a "roadster"?... just curious here...  Yo, Rod |

Solo racing seat, clip-ons and rear sets. The majority of cafe racers are mostly a styling exercise. My 1977D roadster is has more cornering mods than most of the cafe racers I see.
Just because I think choppers are dumb doesn't mean I'm a 'purist'.
Roadsters Forever,
Tom

Think streettracker with a possible all day saddle, and i would like a set of frame mounted mini hiway pegs. The standard XS 650 stock, is a great example of a roadster. Keep it on one wheel. Mitch

Seating for two, no fairing, comfortable riding position. I hang out with guys who built choppers. They are young with the energy of squirrels. Some of the other guys vintage road race. We all seem to have a good time.
