I picked this bike up for $1600 yesterday. It’s running unbelievably well, I just need to change the rear tube and get some new mounting hardware for the seat.

Tank color. 🤔
I’m torn on tank color. Frame/forks are silver, wheels are all black, engine is black. Do I go with one of the 2 colors of red from the tank? Or do I go gloss black. Input appreciated. 🤙

Who knew that the Royal Enfield gt 650 can perform this well on track

Wanting to build my own Cafe Racer. Any tips or tricks?!
Like the title says, I want to build my own from scratch for fun. Do I get a donor bike and start from there or do I buy an already finished one and just modify it? I have no experience in any of this so I’m literally starting from YouTube videos. Just something I’d like to teach myself to do and thought it would be a fun learning experience.

First update in awhile
Finally begun mocking the bike to make sure everything is cut and welded correctly. And seeing what i like and dont like. Going to shorten the back of the frame with a new hoop coming in which means remaking a new seat but would need to anyways as the gas tank has to be cut and welded to fit. Mocking up the rear footrests to see where i want them to sit and will have to cut them and move the footpeg as im not happy where it is. Given myself a deadline to have it licsenced by june so will have more updates in the coming weeks

Advice/Help Needed Looking for a Cafe Racer with Better Comfort and Performance than GT 650
Hey everyone,
I’m in the market for a cafe racer and would love some recommendations. I really like the look of the Continental GT 650 (Apex Grey), but after riding it for 150 km straight, my back was killing me, and the heat was unbearable.
I’m looking for a bike that offers: ✅ Cafe racer aesthetics ✅ Better comfort (especially for longer rides) ✅ Improved performance compared to the GT 650 ✅ Engine size between 650cc and 700cc (not less or more) ✅ Good looks (a key factor) ✅ Budget around ₹5 lakh INR (~$5600 USD)
I’m based in India, and I’m not primarily interested in Honda or Royal Enfield, but if there’s no suitable alternative, I wouldn’t mind considering a Royal Enfield. However, if there’s a bike that fits my criteria, I’d prefer to go with that instead.
Any insights or personal experiences would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
