If we are not the only ones to say so, the figures speak for themselves! The cafe racer is here to stay and the increase in cafe racer and scrambler homologations over the last two years proves it.
According to the latest data to which the motorcycle customization workshop Bolt Motor Company has had access, about 40% of the homologations that take place in Spain are made on historic vehicles, especially on motorcycles. And what does this mean? That cafe racers are making a comeback. More and more people are deciding to embark on the adventure of customizing their own cafe racer.
To do this, what they usually do is buy a second hand bike or look in the garage of a relative to find the classic bike that best suits their needs. From here there are two options: either they start restoring the bike themselves or they rely on a workshop specialized in cafe racer, scrambler and bobber, such as Bolt Motor Company. There are pros and cons to each of the options; it all depends on the time and mechanical knowledge you have.
Yes, we are aware that we are a bit heavy on the subject; but we feel very sorry to see how many cafe racer lovers end up abandoning the project because they stagnate or don’t have time.
Volviendo al tema del que hemos venido ha hablar hoy (las homologaciones), lo realmente interesante y lo que queremos destacar es que ha subido el número de homologaciones de cafe racer y scrambler en España. ¿Y por qué queremos destacar esto? Porque estamos hartos de los cansinos que van de listillos y dicen «tío, no te gastes dinero en una cafe racer porque eso no se puede homologar y acabarás tirando el dinero». Si, seguro que tú, amigo lector, también habrás oído esto alguna vez.
Wrong! A well made cafe racer with the right parts, spare parts and components always passes the homologation. In Bolt Motor Company, specialists in cafe racer in Valencia, we only work with homologated parts and our mechanics, with more than 30 years of experience in the sector, know perfectly well what they can do and what not so that our motorcycles do not have any problem at the time of homologating them.
