It’s nice, but I’d consider it a bobber, not a cafe racer.
It's kind of a "cafe flat tracker", isn't it? That's sort of a "racer", but I get what you're saying. the typical "cafe racer" is styled like a wannabe road racer, not a dirt track bike.

I dig it, but don't care racers take off the useless junk and at the same time upgrade things like suspension, wheels, and motor? Seems like a front brakeless bike and hard tail rear end kind of defeats the purpose. The bike looks cool though.
There are some really talented independent bike builders in SE Asia. Kind of a mix of Japanese and California style. I believe that bike was at the Central World Bike show in Bangkok. So many bikes hard to remember them all.

I have a house in the Philippines and out there Harley's and imported motorcycles cost triple the price we pay out here. This leaves the doors wide open for custom builders to do their thing and they are very talented. I have seen some really awesome bike builds out there. One of the biggest differences is here the bikes tend to be all of the particular brand or style. There they tend to merge. Not unusual to see a mix of scrambler, chopper, Japanese, American, and cafe mixed together on one bike. And almost everything is made from scratch not just bolt on parts as parts are subject to 150% import duty as well.
