And now you know. If only it were that easy. Let's begin with the Café Racer. These bikes mean many different things to many different people (for a fantastic look at the love that goes into these machines check out http://www.returnofthecaferacers.com/ or http://caferacerdesign.com/). The basic Wikipedia history lesson goes like this. Back in the 50's bike owners would strip down and customise their own road bikes to imitate the Moto Grand Prix bikes.

The name Café-Racer was originally a mildly derogatory term describing “a motorcyclist who played at being an Isle of Man Racer” and would seldom make it very far away from the café's they would frequent.

They feature a very distinctive skateboard or banana-like styled seats. At first glance the Tracker looks very similar to the Café-Racer and while there are some similarities the origin of the tracker is in the name.

Today’s motorcycles are loaded with a level of tech that would have been incomprehensible thirty years ago. And it's had a knock-on effect on the custom scene: old bikes rebuilt with new suspension, brakes and electronics have become commonplace. Dirk Oehlerking knows all about the technical side. Operating as Kingston Custom in Germany's Rhine-Ruhr region, he's done everything from customize a brand new Triumph Thruxton R, to turbocharging an old airhead. But Dirk's a staunch believer in the old school. So he also regularly builds classy, lo-fi BMW bobbers in what he calls his signature BMW Kingston style. This 1974
