One flaw both these machines share is footrest location. A true cafe racer has rear-set footpegs, but both these bikes have the same mid-mount location you'd find on a '70s-era Honda standard. That makes the clip-on bars of the Wolf seem a little silly—tuck in and your elbows meet your knees—and the sleek tank of tha Misfit look out of place. CCW tells me a rear-set kit is in the works, but Wolf owners will have to make or modify their own accessories, at least for now. Riding either bike gives you the full Third-world riding experience, requiring you to pin the throttle and work quickly through the gears to keep up with oblivious traffic surrounding you. Still, both of these bikes are well-suited for in-town riding, with light clutches, smooth-shifting gearboxes and good throttle response, allowing you to take advantage of the power that's there. On a twisty road, the bikes are as fun as you'd expect, even if you won't embarrass anybody on sport bikes.

The light weight and wide bars mean confidence and light steering, and there's ample cornering clearance. The no-name tires probably won't give you the confidence to really push it in the turns, but that's not what these bikes are about, despite the vintage boy-racer looks.
