Cafe Racer (Honda CB1100 by South Garage Motor Company)

(Legendado em Português)
For the first time on this Channel, I bring you a Cafe Racer project based on the new Honda CB1100.
I always believed the CB1100 would need a lot of work, just to get the right cafe racer stance.
But this beautiful project, proves that I was wrong.
It was built in Italy by the team of South Garage Motor Company, and it was commissioned by Honda Motor Company, to show the potential of the CB 1100, for customization.
On this video, I also present a magnificent aftermarket fuel tank, which has the lines of the classic Honda CB 750 from the 70s.
I hope you like it.

My special thanks to Pedro Torres, for his great help with my English.

Here is the link to the website where you can buy the Honda CB 750 Fuel tank replica, which fits on the Honda CB 1100 EX/CB1100 RS.

Here are some interesting links about the Builder of this motorcycle:

The passion of the narrator in delivering such details and comments together produces a drama never before told in the history of motorcycles.

One of the most underrated motorcycle in the Honda Line up... but boy... what an amazing machine this is!!!! And yes... beautifully presented in the video!!! Simply.... WOW!!!

I LOVE the larger, sculpted fuel tank of the post-2013 CB-1100. For me, that's 1 of the most attractive elements of this great bike. And the bike still has all the nostalgia of the early CB 750's that I need. The Honda refinement & reliability, the ample power, the upgrades from the original, the 2-into-1 exhausts, etc., combine to make this 1 of the most desirable bikes out there currently.

Recycling existing parts is the essence of building a Cafe Racer. Able to achieve a stunning design with those parts takes a visionary artist of the utmost talent. Bravo to South Garage Motor Company in showing us how simple design tweaks can produce stunning results. Woo Whoo, bike weather has already started.

Aqui no Brasil a marca Honda predomina nas vendas e no gosto popular !! Pena que são poucos apaixonados pela personalização, obrigado pelo vídeo !!!

I actually like the aggressive look of the beefy tank on my 2014 CB1100 cafe racer. Funny, that's what I receive the most compliments on. To each their own.

I bought a 2014 6-speed version in all black. I left mine totally stock and enjoy it as is. I also own a 1982 CB900F and I like them equally.

It being built in Milan is so fitting. Beautiful and the attention to detail with the seat and tank flow and the color scheme is perfect.

Noooossssaaaa muito linda! Adoro motos pretas com niquelado. Ficam agressivas e esse modelo de tanque me surpreendeu e acompanha o banco de almofada com costura. Sensacional, parabéns para a turma de Milão.

A beautiful figure has been achieved. Love it.
It is not necessary to become pure. So it is already perfect.
As we say in Spain "being a purist" has not been necessary.
Simplicity, originality and success.
Going back to the origins, with little, a great success.

I am old (70). My first motorcycle was a 1970 360 Yamaha Enduro. I almost started with a 500 BSA modified for the dirt. All the time lusting after the Norton Commando. I dropped one tooth on the counter shaft on my Yamaha and started to terrorize the Mach lll's on the main street of our city. I was smart enough to keep the races from stop light to stop light (1/8 mi.). One of the local Yamaha dealers got word of the fun I was having and offered to sponsor me. Wahoo, I milled the head. put on an expansion chamber and rejetted a 34mm Mikuni carburetor. I never lost to a Mach lll on main street again. Of course, I avoided 1/4 mile runs. I moved on to 4 stroke road bikes. My last three were a GPZ1100, GS1100E, & a Z900. In an attempt to curb my need for speed I now ride a Triumph America and lust after the cafe racers. I love your web site and your remarkable eye for beauty and detail. I have been shopping for a CB750, but the CB1100 would be less work (and more speed).

I think this build will be on the Racer TV short list for the best of 2021...

[nickeleytheriou]

Amazing !!! this is, imo, the best cafe racer you have presented RACER TV!! and as always top video presentation!!
Thank you sir !!

[toparaujo]

Fantástico... Sinceramente a olhar para a mota original, nunca pensava que ficaria com esse aspecto tão monstro e tão perfeito! Excelente vídeo ✌️

[davidross]

I used to hate the narration of this channel but now I find it oddly calming and irresistible.

[paulthompson]

Honda got this right at the concept stage it is Brilliant red white and blue would still buy it now but my screen saver will have to do .

[sergioguerra]

Definitivamente o estilo cafe racer é um dos meus dois preferidos. O outro se não estiver errado o nome, são as esportivas antigas.

Thanks for bringing back the original voice
