Mac Motorcycles: plucky British upstart bringing kick ass café racers

Mac Motorcycles has just announced itself to the world with a range of cool little café racer concepts. All are powered by the air-cooled single-cylinder 500cc engine out of the Buell Blast housed in a bespoke tubular steel backbone frame. They seek to combine a light weight with accessible performance and looks that successfully lean more towards retro-influenced than hopelessly out-of-date. Mac intends to produce the bikes in “small batches” for the UK, North American and European markets with prices ranging from $12,700 to $16,000 depending on spec.
