Fuel tanks

Tanks for café racers are often slim and elongated to emphasise the aerodynamic shape of the bike. They are often made of aluminium or steel and are often handmade to add an individual touch. The design is minimalist, in keeping with the purist style of the café racer. In terms of colour, muted tones such as black, silver or classic racing colours often dominate.

Functionality also plays a role, as the tank makes the motorbike lighter and more manoeuvrable, which is important for the characteristic riding style of a café racer.
