• With clip-ons, classic naked tail and no unnecessary clutter, the cafe racer has become a real favourite with the worldwide motorbike community in recent years.

• while customisers and motorcycle designers develop ever-more sophisticated interpretations of the eternally young dream machine. But it's not about the further, higher, faster mantra propagated for so long by the motorcycle industry. Back to basics, clean lines and technology that everyone can understand, which may also mean yesterday's technology. These are the features that distinguish the revival in the cafe racer culture.

• It looks back at the old British motorbike aristocracy, provides an overview of cult events associated with these classic machines, and showcases legendary racers of yesteryear and today plus over 100 unique and custom models.
