What would you call this?...
I came across this photo on another forum and i've decided to mod my bike after it.
What would you call this style? its not a cafe racer...its not a bobber....wtf is it...
all i know is its bad *** and we've already started the plans to model my bike after it...
even down to the finish and style of the exhaust.
thoughts?

I have a buddy that bought a 2001 883 and built into a bike very similar to that one. The first thing that he did was build the engine to match the looks. It's pretty stout. A shade over 100hp from what I've been told.

Sharp bike. Other than the headlight.
IMHO, why does it need to be classified as one thing or another. It's a custom sportster. But if you had to call it something...Bobfeperster.

IMHO, even though I am new to the whole scene I would say very close to a Cafe...
-Clip-Ons
-Rear Sets
-2-1 Exhaust
regardless, it is simply badass ...
I am looking to convert mine into something similar...just have not sold myself entirely on it yet...
Good luck with your build and please post pics...

Looks like an old board racer

It's similar to a cafe, but also looks like a tracker (as in dirt tracker). If you do a google search for sportster tracker, you'll find hundreds of pictures and find that the sportster is a fairly popular dirt tracker bike. I'm going a similar route.

Yep, the tire treads probably give more of a clue than anything.

Maybe a modernized flat/board track racer. Very cool bike none the less.

I would first call it cool! Then I would call it a street tracker, dirt tracker for the street. But it is very unique.
Good find!
