I just joined the group! I happened into the local HD dealer to buy a pair of gloves, (didn't get any) but they just took in trade a Cafe Classic. A 2010 with 400 miles on it. I checked it out and went home. I couldn't stand it and went back the next day and bought it. So far I only have gotten about 50 miles on it but what a hoot! Can't wait for it to stop raining!
 
A beautiful bike that's fun to ride. But don't take my word for it, tell us what you think and post PICTURES! :mrgreen:
 
I now have 500 miles on it! Lots of fun, love the torque. Had to back off the springs on the shocks, they were pounding my back. Hate the front tire. Anyone have any suggestions? I'll post some pics when I figure out how.
 
Yep, the stock Metzlers really wobble on grooved pavement and just don't inspire much confidence in turns or in the rain. The good news is they wear out fast.

I eventually replaced mine with Pirelli Sport Demons and the Cafe was a different bike.

Also agree about the stiff rear shocks, though they did loosen up on their own after a few thou.
