Ace Café Racer Little Miss Dynamite details and images released
After revealing Little Miss Dynamite, the first Ace Café Racer, to a small audience on June 9th, the Ace has finally released official images and the results of its dyno run. The 100ci S&S v-twin makes 135bhp and 105lb/ft of torque at 75% throttle and 5,000rpm. Expect production bikes, benefiting from more development time, to do even better.
Other specs include 18” wheels running 120 width tires on the front and
160 on the rear, Öhlins suspension and Stonebridge Motor Company’s own
Featherbed ‘Super’ Wideline frame. The 100ci S&S SB Sportster
engine is mated to a Baker XL six-speed gearbox.

Why a 160mm rear tire? That seems too small for this bike, functionally and aesthetically.
What a looker.
A classic look? I don't know, but I'd take a 160 over the 240s and 300s that come on anything that's vaguely custom over here.
With the Featherbed swing arm I don't think you could fit much bigger than a 160.
What's up with the air intake? All in all a great looker. When can I get one?
As they built the frame I assume they also built the swinger and as such they could have made it fit whatever they liked. I think the 160 looks about right.
My criticisms are of the oversize tach, the backwards looking intake and the boring, predictable, cookie cutter polished alloy tinware.
I love cafe bikes. I don't mind the 160 rear at all. Probably plenty of tire for how it will be ridden. The intake doesn't even bother me, looks good. I agree it's a bit strange as far as function.
Looks fantastic. I'm sure it,s going to cost about $35,000 though.
A 180mm tire is what I had in mind for more fun lean angles. A bigger compact patch with triple digit torque figures is probably a good idea.
Cookie Cutter polished aluminum? How many bikes do you see like that with the polished aluminum look ? You want cookie cutter check out all the choppers out there .That thing is freakin awesome! I f I had the spare $ I'd snap it up
