This is the meanest & coolest motorcycle I have ever seen…I prefer cruiser style bikes, but this is something I would like to ride better! Best Wishes…

Say what you will about the blokes taste, he is a damn decent human and very talented. I’ve emailed him with nagging questions before and he personally took the time to respond and give me advice. I’ve never bought anything from him.

I know I’d have a Triton or Ducati or BMW if I could. But Honda isn’t bad either. I bought a CB400F for my first project bike and have to say, Carpy has been an inspiration if only for his level of detail and craftsmanship.

I’ve got no problem with people paying someone like this to make their dream bike. Sure, it’s maybe not as fun, but it supports the industry and means if a kid like me wants a set of chrome bar clamps, I can get ‘em.

BikeEXIF rocks.

Carpy is an excellent builder with some great skills, but he is devoid of taste. Either that, or his not so subtle american customers who commission him to build their bikes are. All those checkered decals, CAFE and 59 stickers, for me, wreck a quite a nice looking bike.

Mingh, you’re right—archetype is the wrong word and a Triton would be the archetype. ‘Ubiquitous’ would probably be a better word.

Heartily disagree with the uninspired and overdone bit, though!

apart from the detailing and craftsmanship, I couldn’t disagree more. CB is NOT the archetypal cafe racer. A triton would be. The CB is the mother of all UJM, and this is yet another uninspired, overdone polished t…
