New Aero Cafe racer

[Graemsay]

The Triumph Bonnevilles are nice - my brother is currently lusting after the Scrambler variant.

The Enfields are nice too. (This picture is on topic because of the vintage dresses. )

There seems to be a resurgence of interest in cafe racers. The Ace Cafe in London have put together a one-off that might reach limited production.

(I think that this thread has just got really expensive...)

And to keep things on topic, Aero do a range of jackets for the Ace Cafe.

Lastly, an old-school Ducati Cafe Racer, which is completely off topic, but looks lovely.

Incidentally, it looks like Norton are coming back from the dead. There's more on the MCN site.

Felix,

outstanding looking jacket. It's nice to see somebody order a Cafe Racer in brown instead of black. The fit is spot on. Have fun wearing it.

Thanks all for the nice comments.

I currently ride an aprilia Mojito (aprilia Habana for those of you in Europe). I'd have to say I've always been more into scooters than motorcycles. I've ridden about 10K miles in 2 years on mine. But after seeing the Moto Guzzi V7 Classic at a bike show . . .

I'm very serious about both safety and aesthetics--hence the Aero. I'd been looking into getting a protective leather riding jacket, and all of the helpful info from you gents on this website made the Aero Cafe the only choice.

Fenton, I'm 5'6" and about 155 pounds. The back length is 25" exactly. It certainly is a bit trim (the pics were taken 2 weeks ago). But it's conformed better to my body after a couple exposures to rain and 350 miles of riding. But that trim fit is exactly what I was hoping for, and it tends to serve a useful purpose for riding.

thanks felix! that's the information I was looking for
