Vtr 1000 cafe racer

Post by Jazzscot »

Found this last night while looking through this site. I know the firestorm usually looks crap as a cafe racer but I thought this one looked alright. Think its busa front forks which look ok too.

having the rad at the front improves the "naked" look i think.
