My Motorcycle Transformation - part 1, Inspiration

Harley Davidson Sportster " Mule" street tracker, stunning
A late Harley Davidson XR750 AMA flat track race bike
The Harley Davidson XG750R AMA bike, the new H-D racer. Production based, and no match for the Indian FTR750 yet but gorgeous. Modern but classic flat track style.
Triumph Street Twin with the brat kit. I love the brat style flat saddle
Mutt Motorcycles, one of the companies in the UK who sell bikes like mine.

Last year I was lucky enough to purchase my first motorbike since I was about 18, a Sinnis Café 125, a retro café racer. A very pretty bike, just not entirely "me". I saw a starting point, a bike I could make my own. As a fan of Street Trackers, I knew the look and style I wanted. I very quickly learnt there were other bikes out there basically the same as mine, same basic frame and engine, but in lots of different styles meaning there were parts out there to change the style of my bike at a low cost... TBC...
