Maybe it's because we prefer to go fast rather than look cool, or maybe it's because we don't own any form fitting denim pants -- honestly, it could go either way on that one. That being said, we know what we like, and more importantly when know what we like when we see it, and that pretty much sums up our thoughts on the 1979 Honda CB650 by Trillion Industries.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/trillion-industries-1979-honda-cb650/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>18</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Moto Guzzi V7 Clubman Endurance Racer by Luca Bar</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/moto-guzzi-v7-clubman-endurance-racer-luca-bar-design-design/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/moto-guzzi-v7-clubman-endurance-racer-luca-bar-design-design/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 03 Feb 2011 21:11:33 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bikes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[1970's]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cafe racer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[concept]]></category> <category><![CDATA[endurance racer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Luca Bar]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Luca Bar Design]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Moto Guzzi]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Moto Guzzi V7 Clubman Cafe Racer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Moto Guzzi V7 Clubman Racer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=18452</guid> <description><![CDATA[When the Moto Guzzi V7 Clubman Racer debuted at EICMA in 2009, it looks like we weren&#8217;t the only ones smitten by the bike&#8217;s retro yet refined presence. Moto Guzzi&#8217;s creation also caught the eye of the purveyor of pixels himself, Luca Bar of Luca Bar Designs, as the Italian designer plans on having a V7 in his garage, albeit with a slightly different look and feel from the stock model.

If cruisers from a certain American manufacturer could look like this, we imagine that talks of an aging demographic would cease to exist as the Flying 1800 has ample doses of eye-candy, sportiness, and innovation. Between the 3.7 gallon carbon fiber tank that is hangs below the oil-holding frame and above the motor, the rear taillight that integrates into the tail section like a Ducati GP9/GP10, and the tasteful use of copper pipes that we liked so much on the Confederate Fighter. In other words, there's plenty to get you drooling on this bike.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/sbay-flying-1800/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>15</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Ducati 350 Café Racer &#8211; Proof That Less is More</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/ducati-350-caf-racer-proof/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/ducati-350-caf-racer-proof/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 25 Nov 2010 01:06:47 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bikes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cafe racer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Christian Klein]]></category> <category><![CDATA[custom]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati 350 Café Racer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati 350 Scrambler]]></category> <category><![CDATA[German]]></category> <category><![CDATA[minimalist]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Timo Großhans]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=16570</guid> <description><![CDATA[Christian Klein's Ducati 350 Café Racer might be a work of art, and it's certainly an example that you don't have to make an elaborate motorcycle to make something visually stunning. Using a Ducati 350 Scrambler motor, Klein has ported and polished the single-cylinder lump, and then fabricated a custom steel frame to make his creation. Klein was meticulous in his construction, taking several years to perfect his machine. The attention to detail has paid off though, and we especially like the custom made exhaust that wraps around the rear shock, and comes to a minimalist conclusion under the rider's handmade seat. ]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/ducati-350-caf-racer-proof/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>6</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Radical Ducati Café Veloce</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/radical-ducati-cafe-veloce/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/radical-ducati-cafe-veloce/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 09 Nov 2010 00:07:52 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bikes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cafe racer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Café Veloce]]></category> <category><![CDATA[custom]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati GT1000]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati Sport Classic]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati Sport Classic GT1000]]></category> <category><![CDATA[GT1000]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Radical Ducati]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Radical Ducati Café Veloce]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Spanish]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sport Classic]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=16222</guid> <description><![CDATA[Seeing how popular the work of Radical Ducati has been on our site, both with the Radical Ducati 9½ and Radical Ducati RAD02 Imola, we thought we'd bring you another one of the Spanish group's fabulous creations: The Radical Ducati Café Veloce. Based off a Ducati Sport Classic, the Café Veloce features the same DS 1000 air-cooled two-valve motor, and steel tube frame as the now discontinued Ducati, but grows upon the Sport Classic's cafe inspired lines. Tastefully refining the Café Veloce into a sleeker and more dynamic package, Radical Ducati has created the Café Veloce to be devoid of Ducati's more bland touches to the GT1000. In case you haven't noticed yet, we're smitten with the Café Veloce, even if it's not usually the kind of thing we'd go for in our own garage.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/radical-ducati-cafe-veloce/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>13</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Radical Ducati 9½</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/radical-ducati-9-one-half/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/radical-ducati-9-one-half/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 25 Oct 2010 19:23:56 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bikes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[9½]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cafe racer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[custom]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati 9½]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Javier Fuentes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Radical Ducati]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Radical Ducati 9½]]></category> <category><![CDATA[streetfighter]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=15631</guid> <description><![CDATA[From the guys at Spanish firm Radical Ducati comes the 9½, a Ducati ST2 motor wedged into a Monster 900 chassis, making an Italian beauty that's part cafe racer, part streetfighter. Drawing inspiration form Ducati's single-cylinder race bikes from the 1970's, the 9½ is not only a looker, but is comprised of parts from Ducatis long forgotten past (but perhaps more memorable bikes, if you can handle that oxymoron). Keep your eyes trained for more bikes from Radical Ducati, we expect we'll see some more great pieces from the firm as they continue their Desmo mash-ups.

Where many large production motorcycle companies might have 30 or so motorcycles that span the entire gamut of motorcycling's different sub-markets, Harley-Davidson has put all of its eggs in the heavy cruiser market. This singular pursuit of one market segment has not only been the cause for Harley's success, but also a significant contributing factor to the company's recent downfall, which has led to a recently rumored leveraged buyout.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/oped/how-to-save-harley-davidson-part-2-product-lineup/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>66</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>2010 Benelli TnT 899 Cafe Racer at EICMA</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/2010-benelli-tnt-899-cafe-racer-eicma/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/2010-benelli-tnt-899-cafe-racer-eicma/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 30 Nov 2009 20:27:05 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jenny Gun</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bikes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2010]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2010 Benelli TnT 899 Cafe Racer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Benelli]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Benelli Cafe Racer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Benelli TnT 899 Cafe Racer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cafe racer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[caffe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EICMA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TnT 899]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TnT 899 Cafe Racer]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=6811</guid> <description><![CDATA[At the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, Benelli finally gave the public a glimpse at its new TnT 899 Cafe Racer, after teasing us with spy photos of the bike out testing.
