| Honda CBR1100XX cafe racer This model was inspired by a cafe racer shown on the Internet. The description and photos are shown at 'Airbender' street bike based on Honda CBR1100XX Superblackbird The Tamiya kit has a full fairing, which covers up a really nice engine. The kit is missing an oil cooler, even though the real motorcycle has one, hidden under the bodywork. The real cafe motorcycle has the oil cooler behind the exhaust pipes, which to me would impact the effectiveness of the cooler, so it has been mounted in front of the radiator.
