The first things which struck us was the very name of this bike: having "cafe-racer" and "evo" in the same non-negative sentence is one thing we don't stumble too often, if ever at all. However, nothing could be closer to the real machine: an amazing Triumph Bonneville with a breathtaking cafe-racer old-school attitude and futuristic attire which simply rocks!
The Italians at Free Spirits have created one of the perfect bikes in terms of its capability to offer something for pretty much anyone: it's a classic British machine, a cafe-racer, a racing beast, a custom motorcycle, and has so many mods it's hard to list them here. And it is completely reversible to original specs!
One of the nicest is the belt-drive conversion kit, which required a new custom swingarm, now resting on adjustable Bitubo shocks. Conical aftermarket filters have been rotated from their original position to force the air intake, and dual exhausts are now hugging the rear cowl. We totally dig the muffler caps: they look like borrowed from a space-bike in the Jetsons and are an awesome match to the impeccable paint job.
Add in a belly pan in the same color scheme and a 60s-approved front cowl and there you go, a Bonneville that's both heavily modified and still retaining the acclaimed British bike-building heritage. The same can happen to your stock Triumph if you pay Free Spirits a visit. Seen on Return of the Cafer-Racers.
