Honda’s ridiculously good- looking electric cafe racer

We’re huge fans of cafe racers here at The Good Oil. Their pared down looks, nocomfort demeanour, and the culture of the world- famous Ace Cafe; it’s much the acceptable side of the twowheeled coin for us.

A growing part of motorcyclist murmuring these days, though, is the advent of the electric bike.

The bikes have been around for years, of course, getting better and better all the time ( just like their four- wheeled brethren, really).

And dispensing with all the traditional oily bits means designers can go a bit crazy with the concept stuff.

If it results in machines as gorgeous to behold as the Honda Model Electric Cafe Racer 1, then we’d like more.

It’s just a concept ( designed by Pablo Baranoff Dorn and Alex Guliyants), but we can only imagine a production e- bike that looked like this would be a sales winner.

A futuristic powertrain mixed with the sharp- edged style of a classic Honda CB650? Yes, please.
