I've always wanted a cafe racer. Not a production bike like the Thruxton, Commando, or the V7, but something I could customize. Then I saw an SR400 at my local dealership and I knew I had found the Holy Grail: classic styling, single cylinder, kick starter, fuel injection, Japanese reliability, and a great price (compared to the European models). It's been in production since 1978 and custom parts are easy to find. I'm still getting accustomed to all the attention this little guy attracts. Thank you, Yamaha!
gmoore9449 i would buy the sr 500, because in my opinion the fuel injection doesen't work very well with the engine. I mean of course the engine runs, but it feels wrong. It's the same with the Bonneville the fuel injection just doesn't feel good with these old engines
Just been riding all day and now watching this. What a beautiful life. love the story and that bike is gosh-darned-beautiful!
I love your conversion... perfect. My mind is blown away. I watched this movie at least 15 times!
I have a 2016 SR400. My first bike I bought with cash. I love the bike so much
What have u done to it? Im getting the itch to start hacking up my 2018 but still am torn between brat/cafe/rat/bobber

I have been a regular consumer of petrolicious, I so wanted to find a similar channel for motorbikes, and finally last night I found this gem of a channel. Loving it.❤
I was able to relate to this video because when I was little kid I was introduced to bikes, my dad had an old Royal Enfield and he would take me for small rides on it, I grew up collecting bike posters and magazines, I remember even my high school days all my books and textbooks last pages would have motorbike sketches. Finally in 2005, My dad bought me a bike it was cherry coloured single cylinder 150, couple years of squid riding and one moderate accident. I was convinced to sell my bike to my cousin. He unfortunately met with a life ending accident on taht same bike. Hence I switched to my grandfathers 150 scooter (as my family thought it was more safe than a bike) . A year and half of accident free riding next summer I was lucky enough to have my uncles old RE for daily rides for a couple of months. Next I wanted a Honda Karizma 300 for myself so bad, for safety concerns again my parents would rather see me driving a car. As a result I became a car guy bought a white Suzuki Swift moded it to my needs. Had to say goodbye to her 2010 because I was moving abroad to Canada for my higher studies. 7 years in Vancouver Bc, I relied on public transport and finally last year I came back to my motherland India to pursue my career as a singer. And the first I did was after years of craving, buy myself a naked sports tourer #Mojo. It's a single cyclinder 300, I have been loving every second of riding that black beauty. So, this is my story from being a biker to a modder, a car guy and now back to my love again🏍✌
I like it. well done, well said. I'm 6'4" and my knees and back are thankful for both my Harleys with forward controls and ape hangers after 35 years of riding...but my eye still likes these bikes. I actually went down the my local Yamaha shop to see this bike...it's pretty cool. I remember the days of kick starts - good and bad, lol. In the end, I can't contort my body to fit one of these anymore...but the new revival of the movement is cool. My wife and I have the same helmet I believe too...which we take with us for when we cross states where we need to wear them. Great for hearing traffic noises.
This little bike has great lines, also I like the chain bowl 0:16
Thanks! Keep watching. There are more to come.
Nice looking bike. Love the exhaust pipe.
My favorite episode by far.
Awesome, love it Brad and Cam!
Love this series, keep up the good work.
Love your videos! Please keep them coming!!
love this video. You should maybe do some follow up videos on the old videos since time has passed.
nice work, lovin this series
I have such respect for you, I relate tremendously! Happy riding!
cool series! Thanks for doing what you do.
This guy is a brilliant storyteller! Really enjoyed your story dude. Can't believe i'm only discovering this channel now! So much to catch up on!
That bike sounds great !!!
Love this and that bike is so on the money
Easily one of the best videos and stories I've seen. My Pops had a few bikes. All Hondas. My first is this SR250 I am building. But I laughed at the part about him talking to his Dad. I have the same thing happen. Everything I think I figured out something, it turns out he crossed that same bridge a while ago. Awesome video.
Very nice, like that headlight after seeing all the smaller options
great story, great movie) thanx!
Bless you sir.
Great story. Like the personal connection with the sled.
awesome bike. got a lot of character to it. Love from india mate.
Awesome videos! I don't own a bike but hoping to get one soon. These videos really show the connections with bike
Brilliant!!
enjoyed the video thanks subscribed!
great job
Sweet bike!
Love a big single that sounds like a big single.
Really enjoy your stories on bikes...good job. excuse my language but fuck the haterz ;)
i like SR400
great channel!
Love it! That yamaha reminds me of 'donkey', and old gs250t which was my first bike and which I still regret having sold :(
Damn I just found this chanel and it is awesome :D I'm big fan of motorcycles, got two of them, now rebuilding my Suzuki 750 Srad :)
I was on the fence about whether or not I should buy a bike, but after watching a couple of episodes of this series I'm sold. I love the minimalistic ideology behind the cafe racer scene. I'm actually considering just building one instead of trying to find one, since I think I really want to make it my own. Subscribed after episode 1! Keep making these videos mates, they're amazing.
How you go? Can you share your story with bike between now and 9 yrs ago?
@@9feetfrog how interesting to see my comment from so long ago. I ended up purchasing a pre-owned Thruxton w/ only 900 miles on it. Absolutely best thing I’ve ever gifted myself. Sold a few years ago, and I’m on the hunt for my next one.
He looks like Joseph Gordon-Levitt
kinda
True! :-)
THIS little number is my next motorcycle. I need to get my sleeping bag ready for when I end up in the dog house after buying this bike.
How do you guys discover such amazing people and stories
same boots as mine.. cheers mate
Is a nice bike . 👍🏼
❤️❤️❤️
nice
Does anyone know what exhaust (muffler) that is?
Loved the video, can we have the specs for the bike? Thanks guys..keep it up!
Big singles!! SR500 very cool, but best stock.
I ran into a guy in Iceland last may with the same jacket as he is wearing and thought it was SO awesome.
Been looking for it ever since but can't find it anywhere, and don't know what it is from. Can someone help me with this?!

I have to get a vintage something...keep my modem cruiser..just have 2 bikes..that's the life..
I have a Yamaha SR250 and i want those seats on my bike. Someone help me and point me in the right direction.
Gimmi J Hi, you can find cool seats like this one on this website, they are made for SR500/400 but i think you can put them on your SR250 ....www.omegaracer.com/parts_store/cat_628139-Custom-Seats.html#sthash.s03RztBJ.dpbs
How are they dangerous, specifically ?
Why are all these stories about Cafe or bobber motorcycles?
Just bought one. Should be 110mph but that sounds a tad high. I'm thinking 105.
i should go ahead and say this...one advice buddy please change that helmet of yours.but the bike was impressive.keep up the good work..whoever you are!!!
your helmet is funny,how can you drive with this ?
Gday, if you still enjoy music you better start to use ear plugs. This may or may not be cool, but once the damage is done. There is no going back. Cool bike : )
ducatiphill Absolutely agree. I rode back in the 80s with a 1/2 shell and not earplugs. The ringing in your ears is fierce after a 400 mile ride. Wear earplugs. I keep a full box of them bought from the industrial safety store in my garage. Every time I go for a ride now I take a couple of sets with me. I lost a lot of hearing from riding without them.
I just agree with dantizzle00... Wow Im just dreaming of it right now... i just started thinking of how i can get my Royal enfield revamped to something like this... im inspired...
they just started selling this bike in the states and it is way over priced at 6k...
The skyward pointing headlight irks my OCD (grin). Nice bike otherwise.
Joseph Gordon Levitt?
wow.... can I have your autograph?
young men seem to do a lot of things that mirror their fathers! my brother did and like him ended up with 3 children! I however did not! lol
Another great video! But you need to show each of the bikers in your video....full backside in the jeans and zipped up leather biker jacket
i want to be friends with you haha.
#BikerForce..WOW w w w )))),..MANX Pipe + MANX Tank ,..OW w w w !?!
please no white socks, plz
Joker??
man that helmet sucks so bad
if he had on his full face you wouldn't be able to see his face genius...sorry its not up to your standers to go around the block 3 times.
george lucas weiss stop judging outfit sounds gay
You may still choose a nice decent open face helmet which is safe and doesn't look like a piss pot. For example Bell 500, Biltwell Bonanza or Shoei J.O.
Show full front and backsides of each biker in their leathers and jeans!! ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
Buy a better helmet
Stories of the bike. I am sorry but what I see are once good motorcycles cut to pieces and made look dumb. They are dangerous and should be put off the road. The people riding them appear to be actors that I have seen on Australian television programs at one time or another.
No appologies neccessary - you may want to get our eyes checked tho; there's no "the" in Stories of Bike, these bikes look great (and it's all personal preference after all) and non of these people are actors. :)
a gay hipster. not really a surprise
your a hater. buy a bike
