I Bought the Cheapest Cafe Racer from a Box

Jun 05, 2021
So, on top of the mountain of motorized stuff I've been buying lately, at the bottom, we are two of the coolest

cafe

motorcycles I've ever seen that you can buy by mail order and Craig and I are going to have a challenge with they. Whoa, wait, what's the challenge? Said. Wow okay, the first challenge is obviously a race to assemble the bikes, then three more challenges after that, if I win the competition I'll give the bike away to a subscriber, one of you, but you have to be subscribed if Craig wins , probably won't happen, but craig wins, we'll talk about that later.

Now it's wet cardboard and in fact most of these boxes I've been chainsawing just slide off. so now I didn't really talk much about what it is this is the lafon something a couple of letters um coffee bike it's really a cool looking bike it has these cool leather straps it has one on the other side there's this cool gauge pod right? here instead of up in the column, it's just that it's actually a 200cc engine, it's the biggest Lefon engine we've ever had, so now you can see it's almost all together. I'm very excited to get this off the market. box, let's do it oh, where's the handlebar?

More Interesting Facts About,

Did they forget to send me the handlebars? Oh, there we go, they're here. Craig will never find the handlebars that quickly. Well, this is my plan, since it's off the truck. uh, he kind of gets all the pieces. put on I have to put the handlebars on the controls maybe a muffler guard battery uh I don't see any reason why I shouldn't beat Sean to this guys if you're interested in this bike, we have a really cool special surprise we're going to do. To announce only to our subscribers at the end of the video, they will want to listen to it.

Stay until the end. Now I know you guys think Craig is going to beat me because you know he's a mechanic just because he can fix things. and when they're fixed, they stay put most of the time, but you know what that doesn't mean much, I got it, I have a nice clean store, I have no distractions, there are no kids here, it's probably Craig time. store where he's getting a couple of distractions you came to get an ice cream cone yeah we

bought

you one too did you know I'm working? We have space all over your face, how did you eat ice cream when you were gone? all those teeth I love you see you goodnight I love you guys okay let's go to the box everything we need will be in the box so now we have to open our parts box that you get with every bike we always unpack. the mystery box of parts, bam, oil or something, no name, no brand, that's whatever the exhaust heat shield could be, boom, the battery, ah, cut upside down, okay, put the acid in , there are mirrors, miscellaneous hardware, exhaust guard, probably tool kit and instructions, handlebar mounts, all good. great, let's put this on, okay, I'm 37 minutes and 50 seconds into this.

I wonder what Shawn is doing right now. This might be where Sean beats me because he never places his batteries correctly. I gave Craig a little surprise inside his toolbox, hopefully it will distract him a little enough for me to get this win, okay, the heat shield is working, I just have to grab my sockets, squeeze that thing, oh damn, sean, I guess I'll have one, okay? If I can get this off this slide, that's good, out of the way, now there's a problem, it's a problem I've had for a long time, they're always putting in keys that look stupid, but this is a key that looks cool and I I don't know what this is for, but it's cool, Logan.
You have to admit, it looks great. There is usually a place to put the key on the side. Now sometimes they have it on the ignition, but I don't think I have done that. I have never seen the Japanese or Chinese be so extravagant as to do something like that. Okay, this is a manual that looks legit. Sometimes the manual we receive for one of these bikes is just a printed sheet of paper that is in some other language, never English. Don't worry, I'm sure Craig is having the same problems figuring out how to open the seat.
I mean, there's no way he's the first person who can't remove the seat or the first person, I mean how you have to do it. You have to remove the seat before putting in the battery. Let's start removing these side panels. Well, apparently not so. The seat is not easily removed like a normal bicycle. You have to grab a lever and the battery goes right here. If you buy one of these bikes and you're wondering what a fake screw it is, it doesn't hold anything so all you have to do is remove that screw from the top and then it comes loose before you put the side panel on.
Let's see if it starts now we have to charge the battery, okay, let's put some fuel here we are at 1 hour 45 minutes and 13 seconds. I didn't even put gas in it now it's normally my habit to throw it away. gas all over the bike, I have this cool gas can and I just don't want to do it anymore, there's nothing better than in an hour and 45 minutes, we just put a bike together, we didn't even put gas on it, what? If not, can you order? Let's get some gas and see what Sean has in store for us.
We don't have time to burn out. Let's finish putting this up. Put that side panel on the mirrors and stuff like that. let's beat craig done, let's beat craig oh i got a text message congratulations you finished putting your life together and

cafe

bike took you enough time this is the first of four text messages you must complete these tasks before showing up to race each point, the final score will be tallied at the end and the winner will be declared task number one. You only have one chance to set your best time from zero to 60.
After that, you can't just ride the part, you have to watch the part that cost fifty dollars. just come in mode so you see the part okay so I've been driving around here a little bit trying to find a hill for my 0 to 60 sprint and I'm going to stop so here's my strategy and this is what that Craig I don't think I know how to launch a bike when you're launching a 1000 you have to launch it maybe like I don't know 4000 rpm when you're launching a 600 oh oh my bike just broke so my plan is to take the red line and then release the clutch as hard as you can 30 40. 50 60.
Go right there. Oh, I actually didn't finish reading the whole test and after that you can't just ride. So you knew the park for fifty dollars. Go see the part. I think I know exactly where to go. Cafe bikes and the cafe riders that ride those bikes are all over the internet, Instagram, tic tac, all those places and there's one thing they all have in common I hope this place has it I'll get it right now I have a plan I met Michael and I have some fun things see if this works well we just left the store I only spent 26 of the 50.
The rest I'm going out to eat tonight. Wait, I get a text message. Cafe bikes aren't really known for their stopping power. Let's see how these tiny cafes hold up against a legendary coffee king. the triumph thruxton r you should measure your shortest braking distance from 40 miles per hour to zero the triumph did it in 55 feet you have a try don't screw this up okay let's go find a place to try this now listen I'm not trying to brag i'm a good breaker i break up a lot of things my own marriage i'm pretty good at slowing down my motorcycle much better than craig he doesn't know what he's doing he thinks he's running dirty like the whole back end the brake he has no idea i know the amount adequate front brake rear brake and all this there are no abs in this I don't think maybe there are I don't know but this will do you want to get up put your feet up on their pegs because they want to put more, they want to distribute their weight more on the back rear, I'll show you what I'm talking about, here we go, let's measure that from the front tire 66, okay, 66 feet. 78 feet isn't that bad.
I tried to do it uphill. I don't know, we'll see what Sean did right. I get text number three. These bikes only have 200cc engines, so they're not that fast, but which one? you can make his bike go to life faster and he claims he can only do 70. It looks like we're having a high speed run test, let's do it right, this is where I'm going to do my speed test, my speed run. I found this nice big hill, there's no way Sean's going to beat me, let's see what we can do. I'm at 67 68 70. 71 72 72 73 73 80 miles per hour.
Text number four before they both run towards the browner biker. place in the city you must get someone to take a photo of you with your bike and post it on the beer bikes on Instagram the person who gets the most likes when you get to the meeting point will be the winner, don't worry This won't make you famous , no one has posted there for months and hopefully you can figure out the login. Then, the first one to reach the Iron Hill Brewery wins. Me and Craig convince people to take pictures of us on our cool new bikes. and then we went to the brewery, of course Craig's camera died so we don't have footage of that, but he wasn't going to let him win this last challenge.
Okay, come on, come on, now it's time to end this. I know I beat Craig in at least one thing. I doubt it will beat me on the Instagram photo. I have to get there before him because we have to put this thing back. I'm going to be honest with you. Actually, I really don't know what Craig is thinking about his bike. I'm actually really enjoying this bike. It looks cool, it's affordable, it's fun, it's wonderful. It's not too powerful when you're driving on the highway. It would be pretty decent now, Craig. He's a Lebanon County boy.
He doesn't know Lancaster like I do and I know all the shortcuts to everything. The traffic is horrible. The place we're going is up here. I do not see it. No no no no no. Like I'm the winner oh no, you beat me, I beat you, damn Craig, you clearly beat me here, uh, we don't have time for anything else, so I won, we don't know yet, you beat me here and I won. You, full speed, let's go back to the workshop, tally everything up and find out who really won and whether I'll give away the bike or get something that includes the photo.
These bikes are so much fun. If I can do it. that all day just red lights on the red line having fun, yeah man it would be cool to go down Route 11 or something, go through these little towns and do it, that would be a lot of fun, I'm not sure if we actually ever went over the limit of speed, so the competition, Craig 0 to 60, blew them away in the 0 to 60. You guys never, you didn't even reach 60. 40 to zero, none of us really reached this, as we are. It was so close to the thruxton, it was a little closer and you were going uphill, I don't even know the top speed.
I got that one to win, although the bikes seem to get faster the more we type them, yeah they sure were something like that. breaking down a little bit, we only put like 50 miles on them, but they were a lot of fun and the final race, well of course you won the final race, now onto the next thing, when it comes to Instagram, I decided to leave these two photos alone a little longer to see if you can walk away. You chose the worst photo, that's the one you gave me. 1525 likes, not bad, even my wife liked it.
My wife liked it. She likes everything I do. And then. my photo 2772 and my wife liked it and your mom liked it and your sister liked it cute that's rigged you called all your friends all your facebook friends and told them to go to instagram that would be you so I won that means I'm going a I will be giving away one of these bikes to one of you, one of you subscribers, if you are not subscribed, subscribe, you have a little time on Monday, June 14 at 5 00 pm. m. Eastern Standard Time. I will announce the winner.
It will be one of the bikes we have or it will be a new one and speaking of new ones, we had a lot of fun riding these bikes. Yeah, I mean, they were great. This is the bike you should have. and probably everyone should be starting to ride bikes and even the advanced guys have been racing for a long time like us, we really enjoy riding these bikes so I was thinking there must be some of you who want to buy one of these bikes. So I called the Lafon company and said: do you know how we make this happen?
How are these bikes available to people who watch my channel? And he told me that there are only 40 of them that are on a ship for the year 2021 and they are not. I'm currently speaking, so I may have

bought

them all. If you are interested, we will put a link below. We will provide you with more information about it. See you later and don't forget to subscribe. no button, don't do that, don't listen to me, don't smash it, just touch it, smash it.
