Cafe Racer (Honda GL 1000 Goldwing by Krakenhead Customs) 

So nice to see sir Stephen hawking taking on extra work.

Oh god the sound!

In 1978 I walked into an El Paso, TX Yamaha store to buy a baby-blue 250cc Trials bike, and rode out on a lightly used 1976 Sulfur Yellow Goldwing. I was 19 years old, and that motorcycle opened my soul to a whole new way of life. You have no idea how badly I miss that bike. No idea. Thank you for this reminder.

Used to watch this channel late at night feeding my newborn, which led to getting my XS750 as my creative outlet. This one is my favorite of all the projects shown. Incredible.

On rare occasions, when in the right hands, the most challenging of builds, can sometimes give the greatest reward ! While filled with challenges and complexities, this build has resulted in a quality product !

To transform a Goldwing into this deserves HUGE credit! Incredible machine!

Ok, copy. Now I know what to do on my goldwing 1200 1984. Pure inspiration. Next ride Monterrey - can cún. Life is good.

beautiful craftsmanship

The best Goldwing transformation I have ever seen.. so beautiful..

Simplesmente perfeita!!! Já tinha visto algumas fotos dela e esperava ancioso que você fizesse um vídeo. E qual a minha surpresa, de acordar e receber esse presente! Obrigado Race tv! Mais uma experiência incrível! Uma moto belíssima e bem construída! Simplesmente fantástico!!! Já assisti 4 vezes e vou assistir mais!!! Grande abraço! Parabéns a todos vcs!!!

That has got to be one of the best I've ever seen - Brilliant. Sounds great too. The attractive model is just the icing on the cake. Love it.

Hello once again Victor ! I have just purchased an early Honda GL1000 with the intent of a future Cafe project in-store for it. That was almost were the story was about to end, after having a number of doubts about my design limitations, that was, until I remembered your feature piece here ! You have restored my excitement in the project, and put it away until the completion of my CX500 Cafe project this winter ! Thank you again Victor !

Simplesmente um belíssimo projeto! Parabéns aos idealizadores!

Gorgeous bike and well crafted video. Bikes and Drones a match made in heaven 😷

I owned one ( secondhand ) for 7 years & it was the best bike I ever had... with the low centre of gravity & a low seat height, it was easy to ride & even easy to put on its centre-stand by a young biker weighing only 115lbs at the time !! Whisper-quiet exhaust was nice too... Handlebar fairing & Krauser panniers were the extent of my mods... though I did re-build the engine from scratch as the primary chain was worn... the shaft drive was hard on the rear tyre too but I rode it hard anyways 😁 I also resprayed it jet black with gold pinstriping & fancy badges / decals... 😎 It was a rare enough bike here ( in Ireland ) & it turned many heads... 😘

Felt Wonderful to see such a beautiful customized Honda.Thank You for sharing🙂👍

Truly passionate & such an honest build...I can't help my self to rewind this video over & over again, Cheers mate..

Ever so often this video pops up as a recommendation and even though I've seen it many times over it is irresistible. Perfect narrative for an absolute beauty 👍🏍 Safe rides

I knew a goldwing would be a gorgeous build. Hands down of all the bikes shown in the past 2 years this is my favorite. I happen to be a GOLDWING fan.

I just sold mine to my brother and I shared these vlogs lol 1976 GL 1000. have a great night.

I love the engine on this bike, and how you included the builders footage of the bike revving and on the road. Top notch video. Definitely finding so much inspiration for my build through your videos

Girl is gorgeous! but yet the bike steals all my attention, beautiful...

Thanks yet again Victor ! Yep ! Another home run ! Such a beautiful note while on the throttle, and what an addictive note it is from a GL1000 ! Just hitting my hot buttons all the way around ! 😎

Great video and what a stunning motorcycle! I never would have imagined a Goldwing could look like that. It's truly a work of art, when I noticed the carburetors and the air intakes and it made my jaw drop! I didn't know fellow Slovenians have such great taste and craftsmanship!

The best sounding racer, among all, (for me) truly amazing.

Beautifully and meticulously executed build. With an open minds eye, anything is possible. Looks to me that your wait was well rewarded, as we are rewarded by your incredible channel. Cheers from the States Mate! Zip~

i'M TWO MINUTES IN AND AM EXCITED TO SEE MORE OF THIS VIDEO .THAT GOLDWING IS BEAUTIFUL .

Wow such an amazing machine.True work of art.

Transforming a GL1000 to a Cafe-Racer is not easy, it is a challenge, the result speaks a serious language... 😉😃😎

Nice video. verry verry beautiful machine one word"lovely"this is exceptional work my compliments to the builders greetings from 🇳🇱 HOLLAND

I always believe every week you guys can bring me the surprise of each cafe racer project and this week, you make it, too. This time, the Honda GL 1000 Gold Wing is truly the most special one I've ever seen, as you mentioned the "fuel tank" is not the "tank" to contain the gasoline, and the real "place" for gasoline to stay in is right in the bottom of the motorcycle. It's really surprising to know that, and it also increase the difficulty to remodel the motorbike. Besides, what this project surprise me is that the designers regard this motorcycle as a boutique and them designed and made it as a true boutique. As always, I look forward to the next project that you're gonna bring to us!!

Simply stunning! I admire the vision that these people at Krakenhead had, and the ability to follow through with it. This was no easy task I'm sure, but the results speak for itself! What a glorious sound it has as well!

Ugh, this is an amazing build. I'm a huge fan of naked Goldwings and this was nothing short of impressive. Brilliant work with the leather and fairing. My favorite part is the old school Porsche carbs and that brilliant throttle assembly linkage. I always loved the older Goldwings specifically because they sounded like if Porsche were to design a motorcycle engine. Beautiful build, beautiful model. Thanks again for another spectacular vid.

MOSTREI O CANAL PARA UM AMIGO QUE TEM UMA HARLEY DAVIDSON, APAIXONADO POR MOTOCICLISMO COMO EU. ELE DE IMEDIATO REPASSOU PARA OUTROS AMIGOS. ALGO QUE PARA MIM FOI UM GRANDE PRAZER, POIS SEI O QUANTO ESTE AMIGO GOSTA DESTA PAIXÃO. SÓ ELOGIOS AO SEU TRABALHO E DEDICAÇÃO MEU AMIGO. SUCESSO SEMPRE NESTE RACER TV.

Wow! what a gorgeous looking machine with elegant lines and functional geometry. From an electronic driven square box to a mechanical aerodynamic flowing forward style. Like a metamorphosis waiting to happen. The gas tank and the rider position are very appealing with the new position of the gear shift and rear brake pedals. The Webber carbs and new exhaust makes the bike sound sweet and swift. Even the padding of seat ends perfectly along the frame. Thank you Racer TV for showing us the best machines out there!

...the fuel tank and the fairing are just so tempting and beautiful!!😘😘

Beautifully made. Simply magnificent. 🙏

Very nice! What more can I say? Again, as always, thank you for RacerTV!

That fairing really makes the thing come together, that was excellent seeing the difference it makes. Looks like its going 100 standing still.

Nobody can run quickly with just such a motorbike and style! It's a cafe motorcycle!

Beautiful video beautiful bike beautiful model beautiful narrating beautiful sound

Thats the most beautiful motorcycle i have ever seen ❤

When new, the GL1000 was almost mythically large. Low, wallowing and somehow ungainly. It was like a high-tech, more modern Squariel. Impressive and somehow pointless. However, as bikes got bigger, the GL1000 started to seen almost modestly sized. This bike is quite a thing. Ground clearance is an issue. Apart from that, it's all about the look and shedding mass. This is a nice job. Well done!

Some artists work in clay , some hammer stone . Perfection.

The best bike I've ever seen in your show sir

I always scoff at Honda Goldwing but this conversion wins all my love and respect.

That is by far one of the best looking caferacer build yet great to see a gold wing out their flaring and the Weber down draft carbs and the up sweep pipes are very kool I love the work that has gone into this build you can see the classic look and the style that is this build great footage and video presentation foe my self i would have gone with a bump stop seat fro that classic look

Extremely difficult and successful project. One must be mad to take that bike for basis and at the same time one must be genius to bring it to such a perfection.

love that fairing ! excellent video my friend !

Amazing bike, amazing sound, gorgeous girl, great video!! "What else?" ;-) Muito obrigado!!

Assim como a moto o som ficou espetacular. Just like the bike the sound is amazing.

Best custom GL1000 build ever!Currently I restore a GL1000 K1, I am almost finished. After this I will custom a CB750 DOHC​, this will be my first custom bike. I like your video's, gives me a lot of inspiration!

Just like a super model. Sexey to look at. But looks really uncomfortable to ride. But again gorgeous bike.

Um projeto simplesmente perfeito! Parabéns pelo trabalho pois a forma que o video e apresentado e narrado traz um diferencial dos demais canais que trabalham com o mesmo conteúdo!! Tome like!!

One of the best sounding cafe motorcycle I have ever heard!

Beautiful in each detail. Do you have a good project in CB 1300 to show us?

fantastic motocycle, fantastic edition, fantastic filming, fantastic narration, summing up: extremely perfect video, congratulations

Wow! From minute 6, when he's giving it gas, the bike clearly growl: "run, run!"

So where did they hide the battery? And how do I get one state side in Texas?

Linda maquina, percebi que nas ultimas semanas as apresentações estão em alto nível, vai ser difícil escolher a melhor do ano de 2017, com certeza vai ser uma escolha definida em pequenos detalhes e a pontuação bem acirrada.

Este canal é o melhorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :D

brilliant channel

Gorgeous...and that sound 😍

Dropped the front onto clip ons, added a fairing and called it a day that's fantastic

"I'll have the LARGE COFFEE please !!!"

He put the light in the seat. That was something in my mind also.

Great build, great video footage. Great job!

Perfeita. Uma só palavra para definir várias coisas,projeto,modelo, paisagem,fotografia e à racertv por fazer-nos saborear mais uma maravilhosa criação do homem. Obrigado!

Slovenia, well oh well I be dammed

Im here because the girl thumbnail

I watch your videos twice ... one ..to watch it for its content and quality ...two .. when i go to sleep your voice is so soothing i feel like i am flying 👌

Nice, I used to race a GL1000, very torquey smooth engine, stable handling etc. There are some nice GL1500 6cyl. cafe racers too.

Open air filter, throttle cable naked and open to the air, how do you mean ''extremely badass''?

Perfect timing once again Victor ! Not only does this beautiful work of art have the lines of a masterpiece that keeps your eyes moving from front to back following the flow that is so desirable, but it has just that perfect "snort" that we all love ! The gorgeous model is just the cherry on top ! This video has become one of my reference pieces Victor ! I have referred to this video on a number of occasions as I move forward with my own GL project ! GREAT VIDEO ! GL1000 PERFECTION !

The motorbike poetry coming out from your quiet wonderful voice adds magic to your technical comments. Bravo again!

Normally I will not watch a video with a digital voice. I watched this because that GL 1000 is the damn bomb! Good job and thanks for sharing!

Absolutely stunning work, even though the changes to the frame are subtle it gives it an awesome presence.

A great job. I love your movies. And as always, I hope to see more next week ;-)

I had a '75 model back in 1981. Not nearly as nice as this but still nice. I put an exhaust on that I made myself and to this day, it's the best sounding bike I've ever heard.

I am here watching the video...and reading the comments....and chuckling at how most are here using such elaborate language....because of the presentation...well done. Lol

Uma moto supreendente!!! A carenagem é, de fato, o elemento central e o ronco do motor é belíssimo. Quanto ao video em si e à narrativa, são espetaculares, captaram a essência do projeto. Como outros já disseram nos comentários anteriores, a espera pelo novo episódio vale cada segundo. RACER TV é essencial!!!! Parabéns!!!!!

Thank you Racer TV for all vedios .. and for all Beautiful Projects guys. Thanks a lot and i hope to drive one .. I ❤ 🚴

Can this be done with a 1500 golden wing with the 6 carburetors 6 exhaust

perfect combination between nature and machine!!! love this video

impressionante como todas as motos exibidas nesse canal são de extremo bom gosto... de uma seleção como se vê em poucos canais por ai... e a narrativa torna os videos extremamente envolvente... com certeza e um dos melhores canais sobre motos da internet... parabéns a racer tv... fantástico como deve ser...

Yup! That's wright...this is only THE ONE in this world...so perfect! 😍

Nothing short of an absolute brilliant work of art! What an amazing looking machine! Such an elegant looking brute.

Incredible. I just saw that video and I am impressed. The video edit, the lady as wel, but the real star is this that incredible machine. Never ever saw such a beautiful bike. I had a Gold Wing GL1000K2, and also a CB750Four in the seventys and early eightys. Nice work, it's imressiv.Thank You for this fantastic video and thanks to them for making this fantastic bike.

Every so often something comes along that stops you in your tracks , this stopped me , it's subtility is what captivates , recognisable but with that flair of originality, all put together with skill and love , sensual audible ,and filmed wonderful

Objet d'art, finition de très haut niveau, une beauté, et un bruit moteur exceptionnel, bravo. 👍

Sem palavras,uma das mais belas motos que já tive o prazer de ver.

Mind blown! That bike is amazing. I love naked goldwings!!

Great Video the commentary reminded me of the Englishman who played a French Policeman in the BBC Comedy..'Allo Allo'

As motos são realmente ótimas, mas o diferencial, com certeza, é a construção dos vídeos e a narrativa! Parabéns! Sou seu fã!!!

ride / fuel range of the shops looks amazing x

Love the 1000cc GoldWings. This one is really nice.

Parabéns pelo vídeo, nunca pensei que se conseguisse executar um projeto tão harmonioso com base neste modelo. É realmente “The one”. Até para a semana. Grande abraço.

Não há palavras para expressar a beleza do projeto... Parabéns!

Stunning, that engine looks sublime.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.
