The Amsterdam Racer


Cheap weekend flights to Europe. Long may they continue. This superb Cafe Racer was parked outside a small workshop in Amsterdam. Not much more than a side door to real craftsmanship hidden deep within the gloom.

The bike had been shifted outside to make a little move around space and while still not fully finished, it took my breath away.

A low profile saddle was being stitched together before taking its place on this full wood base - immaculately smoothed, polished and varnished to show off every grain.



The tank was finished in a very fetching shade of silk sheen gunmetal grey - simple, stylish and very effective. Amsterdam is famous for it's cafe's - but this little Honda was truly smokin'
