An explanation of these cafe racers.

Sorry I've lived and built it since I was 19, that's over 35 years. My opinions are based on experience not Google and magazines. Like everything else, cafe racers and streetfighters have been commercialized. The flash bikes do not represent the core.<br><br>Post edited by: Fossil, at: 2007/07/23 22:30

"Opinions are like assholes..."

You're one guy with one opinion.

I'd hardly say your one opinion should be taken more definitively than the millions of guys who DO disagree with you about wether or not a streetfighter is a bike like to one above.

Oh, and FWIW, I think that the spondon gixxer above is ridiculous. But lots of people would disagree with that OPINION.

hmmm...lots of talk, don't see a bike

Typical (taunt?) retort of a man with nothing productive to say.

Please enlighten me as to what my bikes have to do with the ability to point out the obvious about the similarities that define a specific build of bike. Especially considering that I'm not speaking opinions or anything that has to do with MY bikes.

Here, let me put it to you another way.

Streetfighter Magazine, which is edited by people with opinions on what makes a streetfighter, sells MILLIONS of dollars worth of issues, and makes TONS of cash on advertising in their magazine.

You, a mere man, speak your single opinion.

Which do you think should be considered more valid in defining a scene?

Hmmmmm...:whistle:

Fekk, shut up, I don't think anyone cares that much. You guys could argue till kingom come and neither would be "right" or "wrong"

Well, apparently someone cared enough to lose the ability to discuss like an adult and resort to prodding with taunts. :lol:

You're doing the same thing, just using larger words to make yourself seem more "eloquent" and therefore more intelligent. :huh:

Like I said, neither one of you is "right". The "definition" will change from person to person based on what they think.

Apparently you missed the part where I pointed out that there is no definition written in stone about what makes a bike a certain genre.

BTW: Apologies if the use of words over 4 letters confuses you. :dry:

You got me, I'm a fraud and know nothing about this topic. Thankyou for straightening me out on this subject.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

I didn't say you know nothing, just that your knowing what you know is inferior to what the collective knows. This should be common sense.
