My new Chinese Cafe Racer: SSR Buccaneer 250C
Feb 14, 2019 · Oddometer: 9,106. Location: Durham, NC. I just bought a brand new motorcycle. It's a 2017 SSR Buccaneer 250C (Cafe). It's designed in by Italians in cooperation with Italjet, but built by the Chinese. It uses a Lifan clone of a Virago 250cc V-twin motor. It's fuel injected (Delphi EFI) and quite a looker!
British Two Stroke Cafe Racer Coming - Adventure Rider
Jul 16, 2020 · The UK’s Langen Motorcycles is building a 250cc two-stroke, 80 horsepower cafe racer weighing in at about 246 pounds. Well, that sounds quite tasty! The all-new bike is the result of ex-CCM chief design engineer Chris Ratcliffe’s dreams. Ratcliffe worked at CCM for 10 years leading the company’s design and engineering teams on both the ...
What The Ducati Scrambler Gets Right - Adventure Rider
Oct 17, 2022 · The Scrambler has enough power to get you into lose-your-license territory (the 800 has 73 hp and 49 lb-ft of torque). That power comes with torquey delivery, though, so the Scrambler 800 is easy to ride and forgiving of noobish gear changes. The 1100 has a lot more jam on-tap, but its higher MSRP (and learner laws, in many jurisdictions) mean ...
My new Chinese Cafe Racer: SSR Buccaneer 250C
Feb 14, 2019 · I need 800 CFM at 8000rpm for a 250cc motor. The other says I multiply 2.5 times the engine horsepower, but does not take rpm into the calculation. And in practice I have two K&N style filters on my cx650 which are roughly the same filter size, and they’re each handing a 336cc cylinder and a motor that spins to 10,000 rpm.
2018 Suzuki TU250X: A retro bike anyone can afford
Sep 15, 2020 · The TU250X is a well-built machine, with attention to detail and quality. The TU250X is built around an air-cooled 249cc single, with electronic fuel injection and five-speed gearbox. Considering this machine hit the market long before modern econobikes like the Z400 or the Rebel 300, it’s surprising to see the Suzuki has EFI.
Janus 250 Phoenix (Cafe Racer) - Adventure Rider
May 23, 2008 · So far I'm happy with everything about the bike except the buzziness at 45mph+ It's not just in the handlebars but the seat, pegs, etc. Needless to say I'm going to try every aftermarket mod I can to reduce buzz, but if that doesn't work I …
CSC SG250 San Gabriel! - Adventure Rider
Sep 11, 2018 · 2,888. Location: Bothell, WA. Having good luck with CSC motorcycles I decided to order an SG250 San Gabriel from them. This particular bike is a retro Café Racer style bike powered by the beyond bullet proof Honda CG250 motor. Its an old-school push rod engine that is not very powerful but puts out globs of torque and what power it does have ...
Mash Motors: Making Fifties Great Again (Sort Of)
Mar 27, 2024 · It’s powered by an air-cooled four-stroke motor (built in China) with a rather gutless 2.8 hp at 8,000 rpm. On the plus side, it has a four-speed gearbox and a kickstart, both rare options in this class today! Claimed weight for the standard model—a sort of cafe-racer-looking thing—is 230 lb, and that’s probably a dry weight.
1970 Yamaha DS6 250cc. Worth taking the plunge?
Nov 1, 2007 · Oddometer: 646. Location: Green Cove Springs, FL. A quick EBAY search showed 66 parts for DS6s. Didn't see any body parts, but a few engine parts and bearings, cables, lights, etc. I wouldn't give much to anything for it with no title, not running with no idea when it ran last.
Café Racers: a motorcycling revolution - Adventure Rider
The café racer movement is not entirely identical to the old British style.
