    That's a heck of a video, nice bikes!

    The Portuguese captions added a nice Euro flavor until I switched 'em to English.

      Interesting. I'm not EVEN a café fan. I look at those bikes and even though I know a lot of work went into making them all look the same, it makes me a little sick to see what has been inflicted upon them. They look very uncomfortable, and LOUD.

      That #1 bike, the CX500. I used to own one back in the day. It was a heavy shaft drive, water cooled (good for city riding) and a decently comfortable and smooth road bike but it was kind of a slug. Top cruising speed was 55 - 60 unless you pushed it hard. It hated hills. Used to ride it back and forth between Fort Worth and Bryan Texas for work meetings.
