Abstract
The contemporary phenomenon of the cafe racer culture raises today many questions
on the culturally defined identities and the nature of modern subcultures. This paper
examines those issues by highlighting both, the most significant elements of the cafe racer
subculture and by conceptualizing the cultural reality surrounding these groups of motorized
people. As the place of the motorcycle in popular culture links this machine with masculinity
a further inquiry is being made her in the construction of the male rider image.
