We’re following up our list of the Top 10 Custom Motorcycles of 2025 with the most popular café racers we featured this past year based on traffic and engagement. Your visits and likes served as votes, meaning these bikes were selected according to their popularity among our readership. This is the most objective ranking we can achieve.
While some of these bikes were darlings of social media, accruing thousands of likes on Facebook and Instagram, others had “long legs,” continuing to garner search traffic month after month. Some are more classic examples of the form, while others stretch the term “café racer” to the limit. There’s a Goldwing in the mix for what might be the first time ever, and three Guzzis! What’s more, at least two of these builds in this year’s list were dedicated to lost friends from the world of two wheels.

USD forks on retro Cafe racers don’t do it for me. Nor the single shock rear end. But everyone too their own. Just not for me.
