A Café Racer is a type of motorcycle that originated in the 1960s in the United Kingdom. These bikes are designed for speed and style, often featuring a minimalist aesthetic. Riders would customize their motorcycles to achieve a sleek look, emphasizing performance and agility for quick rides between cafés. The term "café racer" comes from the culture of young riders who would race from one café to another, often competing to see who could make the fastest trip. This subculture is closely associated with the rocker movement, which celebrated rebellion and individuality through music and fashion.
