Spy photos of a cafe racer styled motorcycle have recently been spotted of what appears to be  prototype of a single-cylinder machine that has a KTM 690 engine and chassis.

The Harley-Davidson XR 1200 was one of the most unique Harleys ever to have existed. Launched only in Europe, it’s flat track body style distinguishes itself from the rest of the motorcycles in its family, yet carried a iconic American design. The blokes over at Cafe Racer Dreams were not entirely convinced at this notion, and decided to work on one themselves. Their spectacular are documented below.

One look at a stock Suzuki Inazuma 250 and its clear that the the design philosophy has tickled down from its bigger brother, the B-King. But in its stock form, the motorcycle looks a bit too bulky for the 250 cc parallel-twin that it houses. The engine isn’t an exciter either, producing quite an unimpressive 24 bhp, dragging around a motorcycle that weighs more than 180 kgs. These specs clearly prove that the motorcycle is in no way fast, or exciting to ride. Yes, its known for its smooth engine, and has qualifiable handling, but then the list of positives end there.
