A new Honda's 300 cc Café Racer Concept

Honda, in addition to making mass production motorcycles is also preparing a modification concept to an existing model. More recently, Japan's leading motorcycle manufacturer introduced the figure of 'Honda 300 TT Racer.'

As quoted from Motorcyclenews, the figure of Honda 300 TT Racer built from the base of Honda CB300F, but its form is still a concept and not worthy of taking to the streets.

In the process, Honda stripping out the instrument panel and rear-view mirror. In addition, some parts are also not meet regulations such as its short tail whose dimensions do not exceed the rear wheel and the exhaust is not equipped with a catalytic converter.

The Honda 300 TT Racer design also gets the influence of Honda CB1100F in the tank. This design also does not rule out the possibility useful for bolt on accessories package for similar motorcycle owners who want to change the style of ordinary naked bike into a café racer or a scrambler.

At least, the figure of this motorcycle can be a fresh inspiration for you who want to modify your favorite motorcycle.

First work that is targeting the framework sector in which to make the café racer typical riding position, the workshop should be cut and reposition the frame making it more compact and lightweight. Then, they make a simply short seater, and formed the rear section like a wasp tail that is the hallmark of café racer style.

The next step which is to beautify the engine of CB500T with a touch of polish and paint, so it could give a dramatic effects on this old Honda motorcycle. To use a simple custom exhaust system with its silincer angle rather looked up.

For the legs also did not escape of changes, using the wheels and width tread tires also became the bike trademark. Furthermore, the finishing touch aka paint job, the CB500T café racer custom bike got the 'bursts' of white with transverse lines in black (thick) and red (thin) blends nicely with chrome accents.
We thought, course that's a good looking café racer motorcycle. The prove is when the motorcycle participated in the Moscow Custom & Tuning Show 2013 held at Crocus Expo (MOTOPARK 2013) and won a prize in the category of 'Best Metric Project'.
