Memory and eyesights fine thanks
Owned a few in the 60's when they were the must have in motorcycling.. My Norton was very similar to your pic, and was my only transport so had to be usable, and how you can say they look ugly, obviously must be a different era thing. I was surprised coffee didn't like it, but hey, it would be boring if we all liked the same stuff. All early cafe racers morphed out of road bikes, discounting custom framed specials, so in that spirit and allowing for modern styling, that MT09 is similar to the Dunstall kits you could buy to give cafe race styling to a Dominator/SS, or a Road Rocket,Bonneville etc.
I'd be interested in what you think of the cafe racer kit you can get for the 600 Fazer, made by a company on the Isle of Wight. I think it's great and certainly gives the bike a new lease of life,if you like that style.
