PHOENIX, Arizona (October 31, 2006) -- Motorcycle enthusiasts have come to expect something special from MOTO-EURO Magazine (M-E) when the publication greets its fans face-to-face. At the upcoming Cycle World International Motorcycle Show in Long Beach CA, MOTO-EURO will not disappoint anyone. Always edgy designer/builder, Robert Steffano, will roll his his latest creation, the Café9, for its public debut under his own name: Steffano Motors.The Café9 is a radically designed bike, taking strong cues from the golden era of cafe racing, and reminding one of The Ace Cafe in London and of course '50s rock and roll. One look at the Café9 and undertones of Johnny Kidd & The Pirates, Gene Vincent and even early Beatles will ping in your head. But the Café9 is the best of both worlds.



At the heart of the bike is nothing but modern technology and top-shelf bits. The power coming from a Ducati liquid-cooled 999 that cranks out 150 hp with 80 foot-pounds of Italian torque, is all in a package that's an agile 390 pounds. The bike is finished with aerospace-quality carbon fiber bodywork, exotic sting ray hide saddle, integrated police radar detection system, unique dual, under-tail, side-exit exhaust ports, and 20-spoke forged alloy wheels.



"We are absolutely thrilled that MOTO-EURO has the opportunity to provide the stage for the release of the Café9", says M-E publisher, Larry Williams. "The bike is amazing and Robert Steffano is one of the designers in our business who always pushes to the next level".
