In the recent movie,  the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo there is a Cafe Racer that people have been talking about. There were three late-60s Honda CB350s created for the film by local LA builder Justin Kell of Glory Motor Works.  If you like this style of bike, please check out out Shorty Drag Bars, nicknamed “Boomerang” to you place on your bike.

For those of you not familiar with what a cafe racer , it is a motorcycle that has been modified for speed and handling rather than comfort. The bodywork and control layout typically  of the motorcycle mimicked the style of contemporary Grand Prix road-racers.  The basic design is an elongated fuel tank and small, rearward mounted, humped seat. Also signature traits were low, narrow handlebars that allowed the rider to “tuck in” to reduce wind resistance and offered better control when in that riding posture.

Here is  footage that was shot by a Swedish film crew showing Rooney during motorcycle training riding the Honda CB350 Cafe Racer.
