We did not invent the Cafe Racer movement, but we have endowed it with a 100% Spanish character. The Rebirth of a genre of British origin that kept half the planet in love, now returns renewed and from the hand of one of the largest transformers specialised in Triumph engines in the world. Do not miss it out.

We don't evolve, we create

There have been many of our works, but we still feel those butterflies when we start each one. And yes, we say our because we feel it. Although each of the Cafe Racer motorcycles that enter our facilities already have an owner, for us they are our small creations. We create new Cafe Racer bike projects in which we try to go down in history with each of our techniques, designs and details that we have learned over time and worked at Tamarit Motorcycles.

What is Cafe Racer?

Ordinary is too dull

The Cafe Racer, in addition to being a style closely linked to the customisation of motorcycles with Triumph engine, alludes to a lifestyle out of the ordinary. This is one of the characteristics of our Cafe Racer style bikes and what makes it one of the most requested styles: its distinction from the ordinary.

How do I know what the Cafe Racer is

Traces of the past.

A Cafe Racer is easy to identify: its timeless styling with sport low handlebars, characterful front fairings, larger capacity tanks, individual seats and set-back footrests to adapt the rider's position and make it as aerodynamic as possible. Hold on tight and enjoy the most aerodynamic motorcycle possible.

For Tamarit Motorcycles it is essential that our bikes adapt to the rider's personality and not the other way around. For this reason, no two Cafe Racer motorcycles are alike. Not only do they stick to a particular style, but without losing their essential characteristics, they adapt to you.

Answer: The Cafe Racer is

But first, the esthetics

If you are considering getting a Cafe Racer motorcycle, keep in mind the golden rule: aesthetics above all else. The design, aesthetics and the sensations evoked by its details take precedence. This style combines the English aesthetics of the revolutionary 50's with the cutting-edge technology most requested by connoisseurs of these bikes, optimising their performance and handling up to the next level.

The origin of the cafe racer.

Old rockers never die

The term Cafe Racer alludes to the style of the rocker culture that took place in the city of London in the 50's: a lot of Rock and Roll, motorcycles and racing. At that time, young revolutionaries, known as Rockers, customised their bikes in such a way that speed and agility were paramount.

This was one of the aspects that most distinguished these young people, converting the performance and handling of their motorcycles, getting rid of everything that was not necessary. In this way, they forgot aspects such as comfort, installing sport handlebars, larger capacity tanks, individual seats and set back footrests to adapt the rider's position and make it as aerodynamic as possible. That's how their bikes were: fast, noisy and lightweight.

The first Cafe Racer.

Fast, noisy and lightweight

It is said that the Cafe Racer has its origin in a common practice of the Rockers, they listened to music on jukeboxes and before the end of a song, they had to arrive at full speed to other nearby Cafés and change from one to another in the shortest possible time. Not very conservative and with a rebellious spirit, the Rockers had fun in these fashionable Cafés where they met to talk about the Isle of Man races and the modifications they made to their motorcycles. A timeless style that hooks.

A timeless style that hooks

The reason why this movement is internationally known and has re-emerged on the map of neoclassical motorcycles is due to the fact that it is a timeless style that never goes out of fashion and if you add the most innovative and avant-garde designs, it becomes the most acclaimed neoclassical style by the lovers of these works of art on two wheels.

Your Cafe Racer in just 3 steps

1. The process to get a Cafe Racer from Tamarit Motorcycles begins by filling out a simple form that will set the guidelines for a first contact with the team and in which we hope to know the idea of conversion that you propose.

2. Afterwards, we send you a personalised budget, the first sketches that will shape the conversion of the motorcycle and the contract to formalise the process. These steps are essential to begin to give shape to what will later be reflected in the final result.

3. If you do not have a motorcycle, the conversion is done with a motorcycle specifically purchased by the Tamarit team, to fit perfectly with the project. If, on the other hand, you already have one, Tamarit picks it up at your home and brings it back once the Cafe Racer conversion is finished. In both cases the conversion takes between 90 and 180 days until the bike is delivered. What's more, you don't have to worry about your geographical location. Tamarit crosses borders whether you are in the United States, France, Italy or any other corner of the world.
