Caf, Racers Are In

Caf, Racers Are In

Author: Tomas Yoko
Date: 2012-12-19
Caf, Racers were popularised in the 1960?s and share their roots with the British Rocker subculture of that time. These retro styled motorcycles have re-emerged and are gaining popularity across the spectrum of our modern society.

Their easy to use and performance based attitude add to the fun and sporty nature of the Caf, Racer.

East Coast Motorcycles are just announcing the arrival of Kawasaki?s new Caf, Racer, the W800 and in recent issues of The Bugle, we featured the Moto Guzzi V7, complete with suede leather seat and serious Caf, Racer attitude.

With the introduction of the W800 from Kawasaki, there is a range of Caf, Racers to choose from at East Coast Motorcycles, 10 Meridian Drive, Umhlanga Ridge.

In the words of Kawasaki, ?The W800 has an absolute gem of a power plant tucked away beneath its exquisitely finished fuel tank. The 773 cc vertical twin incorporates a beautiful-looking bevel gear drive from the crank to the overhead camshaft in the cylinder heads, each of which houses four valves, and uses a balance shaft to iron out the notorious parallel-twin vibes. Kawasaki has put a lot of effort into investing the W 800 with a very high quality look and feel. The paintwork is superb and the gleaming chrome and aluminium components simply ooze quality. There have been no short cuts taken and the extensive use of steel and aluminium rather than plastic pays off in a really solid, built-to-last feel. The Kawasaki W800 will appeal to riders who enjoy an affordable, well-built modern classic that's built like an anvil, imbued with soul and is as reliable as any high-quality modern motorcycle is expected to be.

Call ahead on 031 566 3024 or pop in at their showroom and experience the Caf, Racer culture resurgence.
