@londonbill100 Well hurry up and have all the fun you can you stupid bitch! Because when your ass gets old it's the shuffle boards for you sucker!!!

"Jap machines have no character or soul", Mike Seate in Iron Horse #100. ""Old bikes belong in a museum and not on the road", Mike Seate, Iron Works magazine, November 1996, at the time he was riding a Yamaha and gave up on his Triton project....

@Jumoschwanz -I'm not debating what Mike may or may not have said but, as we all will figure out, life is a journey and as such we learn as we make our way through it. I'm of the opinion that he has "found" what alot of us have known for years; cafes are cool as hell!! Cheers!!

@FORDHAM4U I didn't say they would, I said the older Jap bikes have soul, but no the new ones. There's no questioning the hooligan soul of a 2 stroke antisocial, polluting, wheelie prone 2 stroke from the late 60s through the early 80s. In particular things like the Yamaha RD/RZ series, Kawasaki 2 stroke triples and to a slightly lesser extent the Suzuki GT series 2 stroke twins and triples. No way around it they had soul, even if it was antisocial as all get out.

@Scootertuner1000 ;that kind of bikes will never be cafe-racers,no matter how hard you modify them.

[gountzas]

Triton = Triumph + Norton ?? Correct me if I'm wrong

[Jumoschwanz]

I did not say anything about Jap bikes, I was merely quoting things that  Mike Seate has said before he decided and found he could make money off the cafe scene.....

[Scootertuner1000]

@londonbill100 What about all the 20 and 30 somethings riding Cafe Racers?

[Scootertuner1000]

@Jumoschwanz New Jap bikes don't, but the old ones from the 60s and 70 and maybe some from the early 80s do. I have a 1974 Suzuki GT380. 3 cylinder 2 stroke naked bike with tons of character and a beautiful howl when you open it up. Looks like nothing else before or since with it's ram air scoops on top of the cylinder head, 3 into 4 exhaust system. Sounds like nothing else before or since (except it's big brothers the GT550 and 750) with its 120 degree firing order and 4 exhausts.
