I think the racer is the bike, but it can be of any make.

The state of mind that Lefty refers to, IMO, is doing everything in your power to make it faster and lighter, possibly even breaking road laws to do it, but they MUST be modded. You cannot buy a Cafe from a shop. They must also have clip on handle bars.

I thought the rider was a "Hooligan"?

I disagree. They could have inverted stock bars, "M" bars or "Clubman" bars.

All a bike needs to become a cafe racer is a 59 Club or Ace Cafe sticker and some checker stripes.

Oops, I almost forgot the flat black paint.

=8^.
Remember those guys and gals didn't have extra bucks or internet motorcycle catalogs. Extra points if you made your own. Flip over your bars and cut the ends down.
