Benoit Tallec's L’Intrépide Cafe Racer: Ooh là là!

​From the Office of Wheels

Cafe Racer's always catch my eye, whether I see them on the road or online. But this one, a bike aptly named "L’Intrépide" is something really special. Designed by Benoit Tallec as a personal project. Apparently, Tallec wanted to prove that you could take the uninspired design of a late 70's BMW R100RS and make something that would turn heads on the street. Safe to say that he nailed it.

I love its retro futuristic styling, and would love to see this approach applied to something like a star wars speeder bike.
