Ton Up!: A Century of Cafe Racer Speed and Style

Ton Up! A Century of CafÃ© Racer Speed and StyleÂ focuses on the story of the ton-up boys and their cafÃ© racers. But it's much more than just that. Illustrated with historic and modern photos and featuring a text by one of the worldâ€™s motorcycle historians, it's really the story of motorcycle speed and style evolved from the early 1900s right through today.Â

Cafe racers are most associated with the young, rebellious rock-and-rollers of 1960s Britain. These ridersÂ created the quintessential cafÃ© racersâ€”fast motorcycles customized to resemble the racing bikes of the period. They were called â€œcafÃ© racersâ€ because their riders raced on public roads, from one cafÃ© to the next. The goal was to do â€œthe tonâ€ (exceed 100 miles per hour) on these runs, which led to their designation as â€œton-up boys.â€

Today, ton-up culture is more popularÂ than ever and recognized worldwideÂ with a following of young and long-time riders alike.With Ton Up!, enjoy a scenic ride through the history of this vibrant scene.
