What is with the Dutch?

G'day all.

Being in the middle of a bobber project myself, part of my daily ritual is to visit a handful of XS650 based sites to get my fix.

One of the things I'd noticed is that there must be something special in the water over there in Holland. They are just turning out some really stunning XS650 bobbers that tend to stand out from the pack.

Perhaps it's the colour matched chassis/tank combos that feature heavily in their builds, or the fact that they have simple and tasteful mods?

Anyhow, here's a couple that really made me sit up an take notice and are setting the benchmark in the creation of my own bike.

They understand that something can be tasteful and stylish, with limited amounts of "radical" designs.

Got that right, these guys are engineering gurus with motorcycles in general, Cafe, bobbers, choppers, and the quality of workmanship and style is something else. Google search cafe guzzi and see what they can do
