Cafe Racer (Honda CX 500 / CX 650 by Racer TV/Oficina das Motas) 

I have seen many cafe racers, but no doubt, thise is the most beautiful of them all! And the sound is awesome!!💪 FANTASTIC!

Beautiful bike, beautiful scenery, beautiful presentation...CONGRATS, beautiful things come to those who persevere. ...IT’S ALIVE!

Yes, a beautiful, elegant motorcycle and certainly with the saddle and handlebars raised it's comfortable, but I have to be honest and say what I think, it's not a classic cafe racer with straight lines, but rather a classic motorcycle with modern touches.

From Algeria 🇩🇿 this machine Sach a monster like you tell us ... Bravo I hope some day making my dream (BMW r80 ) ...

yes, it looks pretty damn good!

Very nice result. Near to perfection. That is a caferacer at it's best!

So I watched this video yesterday and fell I ln love with that sound and look so much I spent all night scrolling the web and eventually found one of these rare cx650's and brought it today complete barn find needs a lot of love

Amazing. Only today I could watch it. The head light is awesome in combination with fuel tank versus sear colour, just GREAT. CONGRATULATIONS to you and all team. P.s. sound exhaust just pretty music well fit on entire project.

Excellence in so many ways. Congratulations on a beautiful build.

I love it very nice and sounds so good. You should be proud to have it.

If a Brit, a Portuguese, a German and an Italian sat in a pub and could agree on a timeless Cafe Racer design - then Shoichiro Irimajiri (Mr. Honda) came over and said let me help you.

excelente, muy buen gusto!

Молодец! Выглядит идеально!

Excelente video beautiful bike.

Congratulations on this magnificent job! On your design and the skilled mechanics who made it in form. Something tells me in 5 years time you will be designing another one :) By the way... I Always watch your videos with good headphones :). Abraço desde a Polónia.

Parabéns amigo. From Brasil.

This is fn awesome. God damn I love Honda

I can cry to listen this amazing sound! Thank you! Thank you for the beautiful words that describe your project... Please, who is this fantastic speaker? I wish to contact him for a my audio-book!!!

Dang it sounds good !

Wow. Amazing. Congratulations on your cafe. Sounds good. Have fun with it.

Seeing this video allowed me to feel some of what you must have felt on this ride through the beautiful scenery. I could smell the cool air and feel and sense the machine under me. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and congratulations on fulfilling your dream.

I've been watching for years, and every time a CX showed up I thought...Eh...not my cup of tea. You turned what I viewed as an Ugly Duckling into a Beautiful Black Swan. Something I didn't think possible. The lines, the paint work, Aluminum (Aluminium) etc. All come together and have executed an absolute beauty. Congratulations Victor! Well deserved! Zip~

Absolutely magnificant machine, and your videos take me to a special place every time, brilliant.

I love the ending part of the video , Normal bike goes in and a Awesome machine comes out.

It sound like a v8 mustang -respect form korea

Thank you for this presentation of your work of art. I certainly appreciate the time, skill, effort, and money that went into his beautiful motorcycle that you have created. It’s funny in one regard, I have watched your videos for years now and actually expected no less from you! You have set a very high standard of craftsmanship. Again, as always, thank you for Racer TV, the Café Racers only choice! Ride safe my friend and enjoy your wonderful machine.

I love the sound of your bike especially when throttle off, it looks great, a real credit to you, your builder and everyone else who worked on it. Now go ride it and enjoy it Haha.

Wow. What a beautiful machine!!! The sound is incrediible. The look is perfect, and the lines are expertly blurred between vintage and modern. Nice helmet, by the way! Congratulations on finaly achieving a dream, as not many can. And hats off to your mechanic. His talents show no bounds...

Excellent design and execution!!! ... beautiful and timeless!

I took your advice and played it again with top quality headphones. But also didn't watch it. I just listened and focused on the sound. And the difference was astonishing. Incredible build! One for the ages!

Well done, its a beauty in itself, no Jaguar will make it look better, the picture in front of the old church is full on beauty. Congrats dude

I’m just 2 minutes into the video and I just can’t wait until the the video ends to comment and say: This motorcycle project, dear Sir, is simply a MASTERPIECE.

Why doesn't Honda bring this back into production Honda vtwin 👍

You have exquisite taste. Beautiful doesn't begin to describe your creation. I'm happy for you. I was one step ahead of you with the headphones. I used my gaming Astro A40's. Truly a unique exhaust note. I love everything about your motorcycle. Cheers from Pittsburgh my friend.

Absolutely beautiful . A fantastic bike . This is why modern bike manufacturers are going retro . When done right , they are pieces of art . Congratulations on a great build , perfect taste . I love the bike and the video , well done .

You need to upload this in 4K, 720p doesnt do justice to this amazing masterpiece : (

Beautiful, and sound is really good, well done !

Well done. Respect and motivating as always.

Sounds like a muscle car

The "peashooter" exhaust is straight off a Norton Commando the original "cafe racer" and in many people's book the original "super bike" To the chockos who put it together well done and for your next bike try one of the new Norton.

Nice, perfect work. When I saw the steering I notice that there is no thank for the break fluid, cause I have the original Honda CX 500 , from 1978. After 23 years sitting in one room with sized engine, after so manny years I took action find a used engine in Iowa, send to Europe and restored the bike. CX 500 is my youth years lovely machine. In Germany they call the bike " Guelle pumpe", like Rose oil pump. I do not know how much it is gonna cost that work , really that bike is top of the line. 650 are rare not common like 500. I have Honda Valkyrie Touring 2003 , I've Suzuki Hayabusa 2001, custom with a lot of chrome, spikes , custom made ostrich leader seat, Yamaha Virago, Kawasaki Ninja 750 GPZR, but CX is my lovely bike cause is connected with a sweet memories. That way I did not, sale, did not scraped, just left sitting for 23 years. Once again the bike build by the Portuguese guys is impeccable type of classic Art. Congratulation.

Love the motorcycle and your channel. This has to be your best video because of the use of more video and less still images. I love to see things in motion rather than sitting still and I love to hear a motor moving the vehicle rather than just being revved. 🤩👍

I can really feel your enthusiasm for your bike. I think it's amazing how you celebrate it with this beautiful video! I wish you many nice kilometers with it! :) Props from Switzerland! 🙌🏽

A beautiful motorcycle. A dream bike. A sound, absolutely intoxicating

That last scene were you edit the old bike going in to the workshop and the new coming out is awesome, love the sound. Picking up a GL500 tomorrow to do a conversion on, so excited!

We finally get to see it on the road. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Clap clap clap clap ! Parabéns Victor, a moto está soberba, deveras. Um abraço, da Ericeira. Ps: as notas do escape são um must....ouvidas num bom sistema de som, amplificação híbrida, etapa de pré-amplificação a válvulas e amplificação transistorizada.

Easily the best CX Cafe I've seen, good job racer TV! Sounds mental tho

So much beauty on my eyes! This bike is poetry!!! Sorry about my Greek expression! Εύγε!!! I will like to see a vtr1000f engine someday on flat track style. I m dreaming 💭!

Wow! Victor, my sincere congratulations. This is definitely the most beautiful CX/GL I have seen - and I've looked at a lot recently as I am planning a similar project. The tank is spectacular. The seat is terrific as well, but since seeing your vids I cannot look at another CX without thinking the tank is incomplete. And relocating the master cylinder to keep the handlebars clean... Wow! Do you have a pic of that, BTW? Please post more pics of your bike on your website. Very, very beautiful. I hope you don't mind, but if all goes well there will be a CX 500 with more than passing similarity to yours in southern Germany / Northeastern France next summer... :-p BTW, I did have to chuckle a bit at your texts; my dad used to work for TAP in the 70's and 80's and he always said nobody could do drama and pathos like the Portuguese. Had to think of that more than once while listening to the narration :-))

Congratulations on a beautiful, quality build. Probably the best CX I've laid eyes on. My only quibble, and it's only minor, the seat material and colour. But it's a gorgeous machine, and the exhaust note is epic!

What a great story. What a talented team involved. What a great end product. What a creative ending. Congrats on such a beautiful build, Victor.

what a beautiful cafe racer bike... that's inspire me to build one someday.. regards from Jakarta, Indonesia

I hate that I sold my cx650 37 years ago, lol, we share the same name and love for this bike. Maybe I can do something as cool with my second bike just purchased a few months ago...RNineT

Beautiful bike, beautiful scenery, beautiful sound, what more could you what. I am so pleased for you Racer, your bike looks fantastic, it's so timeless. Thank you for sharing your project with us all, you have a great channel. Ride safe mate. Cheers

I live in the town where Mr. Soichiro Honda was born. I love your sense of beauty.

I will watch it again. Between Brilliant and Awesome I’m trying to find a word 😎

Great job on the bike mate. Sounds great, looks great, enjoy the ride 👍

I have never expected this ugly motorcycle to become a Swan it is amazing what one can do with the imagination I thank you for building such a magnificent machine it surely makes my motorcycle eye have more enjoyment seeing something so wonderfully crafted is this machine I thank you for doing it and I hope find more like magnificent examples on this channel. That's why subscribe and watch every one of your videos.

Fantastic, bike and you make one Cafe racer unique , very good job,

I've watched it from the first time with my best Headphones... It reminded me how I miss my motorcycle... cheers from Brasil fellow!

It's beautiful! You're lucky to have such committed and skilled mechanic.

Parabéns pela conclusão do magnífico projeto. O som desse escapamento é um espetáculo!👏👏

Very, very nice. I love it. The black color with the chrome. And the sound like it's almost music. 😊

Sky is the limit, I have seen motor bikes on the road, I don't know how to ride a motor bike. But I see this beauty, really it's a dream come true.

Congratulations your cafe racer conversion of the CX is now my favorite! I love the look and sound of the bike one day I hope to have a bike similar to yours Bravo Victor...

"Amarás o teu próximo como a ti mesmo" (Levítico 19:18). Vitor, não se pense egocêntrico por olhar e pensar haver tanta perfeição na materialização de seu sonho, pois é com o mesmo olhar e afeto que vê e expõe o sonho de seus semelhantes. Um abraço e parabéns.

Magnífico trabalho. Uma obra de arte, que pode ser conduzida!

Beautiful build. Much respect from Texas USA.

Amazing bike. Always watch ur videos man.

INCRÍVEL!! Só pelo ronco do motor já vale o 1º lugar das TOP 10 deste ano.

Such a beauty..! Wonderful job by everyone..! I simply fell in love the minute I saw it.

É incrível (ou talvez não) mas o ser humano pouco aprendeu com os animais. Até á data, 8 camelos vieram aqui dar o "dislike"..... Porca miséria.

Unglaublich welche Gefühle es in mir weckt, allein die ersten paar Minuten. EINFACH WUNDERSCHÖNE WORTE, DAS HAUT MICH UM!!!

2 years is nothing if what you achieved is what you wanted or desired. In the end inner satisfaction and peace is priority. Great work my man!!!!! keep rocking.

What a gorgeous piece or machinery. That sound is truly intoxicating!!! Beautiful bike and video. Congrats.

Good job on the Project, it sounds and looks great

Bro, I would like to say that for the first time time in my whole I felt that rather than Royal Enfield any other bike i can be a fan of or I want to own is this Honda CX 650

I want that sound from my bike! absolutely splendid.

That's a bery good one... Beautiful bike my friend

É mesmo um Sonho de mota, muitos parabéns aos criadores, fabulosa em todos os aspetos 😉👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

Foi simplesmente emocionante... parabéns meu amigo! Senti toda sua emoção e realização de um sonho! Sua obra ficou fantástica! Em todos os aspectos! Viva! Rode!aproveite esse sonho!!! Grande abraço ! Obrigado por compartilhar!!!

Now to address the electrical. It's easy to get your wires crossed and not realize they're crossed when getting things working. Especially when working with all new wiring. Continuity, check, voltage (w/o engine running) check, lights, check, engine runs and lights work (on a less than fully charged battery) check! Success!!! Until the battery is topped off, then the Stator/Alternator and Reg/Rectifier have to do something with the over abundance of electricity with no where to go. Where you've shot your self in the foot is using all the LED lights. They draw a very small percentage of the power the charging system delivers, so the battery charges very quickly and stays charged. As this happens, the factory type Reg/Rectifier can't handle sustained periods of absorbing this increase in power absorption. Result? The Reg/Rec goes bad IN A HURRY!! The solution, albeit more expensive, will save you TONS of headache in the long run. Get a MOSFET!! Problem solved once you make sure you're directing all of the charging through it to the rest of the bike. Seriously...don't skimp here. The Mosfet absorbs a LOT more heat and is designed to NOT fail under the increased voltage dispersal associated with using LED lighting. Many people have abandoned LED lighting for this very reason. Not realizing that simply installing the MOSFET cures the issue. Worth saving up for my Friend! There are numerous well put together articles that explain the differences and why you should use the MOSFET in place of the traditional diode type Reg/Rec. Cheers again my Friend! Zip~

Excelente !!!

Man.....it is so Beautiful. But the sound is too loud for me, I like to ride for long periods and this level of noise gives me headaches.

Congratulations! It looks stunning and it sounds the way motorbikes should! Also, lots of kudos to your mechanic and the rest of the crew for turning your vision into something tangible. Basically you're very lucky to have them! For that I envy you: I have yet to find a mechanic where I come from who would be willing to help me with such a time-consuming project...

I love your new fucking new bike and your good work for the scene Pete.
