I think Benelli already built something that looked that bad years ago.

It looks pretty cool but an air cooled V-twin with that side exhaust right by your leg? No thanks! The exhaust on the Buell V's has to be one of the biggest improvements they have ever made.No way would I want to ride that 2 wheel campfire down here in the South.

Exactly why is the front brake on the wrong side?
And with the caliper mounted foward of the fork!?

So the deal is;

Take something that has been completely engineered to be lighter, quicker, and more functional and then scrap everything but the brake rotor and the instrument cluster?

It has a nice look (kinda) but the "greatest cafe racer ever"??? Me thinks not.

I always thought that cafe racers were supposed to go round corners? That thing is a retro drag racer, but definitely NOT a cafe racer in my opinion (mind you, I don't think the 1125CR deserves the cafe racer tag either!)

If you want a modern cafe racer..these are more like it : )

the bike on the first picture is made on Moto Guzzi Griso base and the guy who made it is Italian.
in my opinion, that's one of the most beautiful and interesting special i've ever seen...
