This single seat is MOTOCO single seat for airhead.

Perfect shape for air head big tank.
It is well designed to fit tank shape.
It is look like BMW genuine single seat.
Why? Seat lower edge has flare like stock bike.

Red Ram Motorcycle's R100RS cafe racer


Red Ram built R100RS cafe racer as shown on photos.
Which is mono suspension.
Battery moved to back of engine and air filter was removed as CR carburetor assembled.
Front section is from Kawasaki bike's parts.
Seat is "NITOROHEADS" cafe racer seat.
Seat frame was remade for this seat to fit seat bottom line.
Headlight is small meter build in case.

I think NITROHEADS seat is good seat but it is not good to BMW big tank.
Tank is too big for seat volume. Because builder replaced with vintage small headlight.
Why did not they choose Toaster tank ?  If so,it became perfect.

HONDA CB1300super four

Is it your type ?
Cafe racer will not be interested in it.
Why?  
It is modern European style ?
I think design really Japanese design.
Beautiful fairing and red and white color body combination is admirable.

I prefer to CB400Super four.
AU user can buy them but other countries ..... unknown.

new Kawasaki Z250

250cc displacement is small?
I do not think so for commute and run downtown.
I think Ninja 250 most cool than HONDA's and YAMAHA's 250cc.

KAWASAKI has released non-fairing Z250 street fighter a few days ago.

These days KAWASAKI motorcycle are cool design.
Because the design team manager is moved from MAZDA who designed MX-5 Miata.

HONDA CB400SuperFour 1992

HONDA CB400SuperFour is reasonable at used bikes market.
Because large number of CB400SuperFour had been sold.
Its capacity and durability are good enough for entry riders.
Body size is not as big as CB1100SF and CB1300SF.

Why not do you buy used CB400SuperFour and paint it like above?
You do not need to change muffler and suspension.
Just paint it!

BMW R100 + Motoco seat

Motoco brand is my favorite.
I think Motoco seat best of all aftermarket BMW seat.

When I were young,I thought that seat was BMW genuine part. 
Because it is well designed like genuine.
What is like genuine? The edge of lower line has flare surrounding seat. 
Motoco seat fits well the big fuel tank shape.
How do you think ?

BMW vs Kawasaki Street fighter

When I went to Ramen restaurant,three motorcycles parked.
left R1200R is light weight and easy to control.
Right Kawasaki is cool street fighter.

I watched those two bikes and especially seat.
Kawasaki's seat more narrow than BMW
so it must be good to non tall guys like me.  

Lower seat is better to me and non tall guy.  
It is serious issue.
