The narrow seat design significantly increases physical contact with the bike. Additional LSL Motorradtechnik components highlight the slightly forward-leaning Cafe Racer seat position. Front end features include a CNC-machined triple clamp and clip-ons. The footrests are offset 10mm to the rear. Matching the new seat layout, the Cafe Racer features an elegant tailpiece cover over the passenger seat to effectively accentuate the bike's dynamic appearance.
