A custom cafe racer variant of the Suzuki ST250, the "E-Type C," is drawing fresh attention. Shown at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show, it paired the ST250's engine, derived from the 1982 GN250E, with clip-on bars, rearset footpegs, and a front fairing styled after Britain's Norton Manx racers. Only a small number were ever delivered, making surviving examples rare finds today.

Clip-ons, a front fairing, and a Manx-inspired cafe racer face — this one clearly shows the designer's taste. Putting this out at the 2003 motor show was a pretty bold call for its time. Just knowing how few exist gives it a certain aura.

The fact it's an engine descended from the GN250E is a nice detail
