Yamaha TR1 cafe racer

A bit of a break from the usual on this blog (but that's a good thing occasionally, no?) Yamaha TR1 based cafe / bobber spotted in Fulham, London. Looks like a blast to ride but seeing a bike with no mudguards brings out the latent old fart in me. I ran an Enfield bobber for a short while with no front mudguard, you think you are the number one in cool until it rains or you ride through some horse shite....

Many thanks to David Kenny for supplying the pics.

  1. Is it not a TR1 based special?

    1. Thanks Steve, you are totally right. Eighties Japanese bikes aren't my specialism! I've updated the page. Cheers

  2. Not my specialism either! I remember seeing a TR1 parked at work, and couldn't believe the complication (and weight) compared to the 850 MK11A Commando I was riding at the time...
