Take all of the things that make a motorcycle practical, like comfortable bars, pegs, seat, and fenders, and remove them. It also helps if you have a psychotic tendency to chase down sportbikes in the twisties. :-D

This page from the Ace Cafe does a lot to explain this:

Cafe Racers

But I like Stunta's explanation better. :-D

Here is a link to many versions of cafe racers. Some are really cool others look plain dangerous. Everthing from Triumphs to BMW's. TBvSstunta has pegged it though. If it doesn't make the bike faster or handle better cut it off. JCW
