I came across the very special cafe racer from the Italian blog, Rocket Garage
It is not finished yet, but I look forward to seeing the finished bike making the rounds of the blogs and magazines very soon. The Aprilia engines are great since they can be loads of fun for the street or track. This is powered by a fuel injected 2004 Aprilia 1000cc RSV Factory V-Twin with 143bhp
Note the location of the radiator. It looks great and the finishing touches could add to the aesthetic (e.g. fan guards could add style). Hopefully the rad will operate as normal.
The left-side pipe looks like it would scrape, but I'm sure the builder took that into consideration.
