CRD#19 Honda XR 600

I'm fascinated by cafe racers for a while now and remembered I still have an old Suzuki TSX dirt bike in a shed.

I wondered if anyone ever turned an offroad machine into a minimal cafe racer...

A little websearch found me this awesome cafe racer by Cafe Racer Dreams based on a dirt bike frame.

CRD#19 Apolo as the project is called is based on a 1991 Honda XR 600.

The new tank came from a Honda CG125. Cafe Racer Dreams modified the rear chassis to fit the sleak custom seat.

The wheels are fitted with Excel rims, 19" at the front and 18" at the back, and rubberized with Pirelli MT 90 scorpions.
