The name came from their habit of gathering at roadside cafes, racing from one coffee shop to the next, and timing the journeys with a stopwatch. The aesthetic was functional — a lighter bike with a forward-leaning riding position was genuinely faster and more controllable. The movement faded, but the style never died; it resurfaced every few decades in new forms, and today building a cafe racer from a donor bike is one of the most popular projects in motorcycle culture worldwide.

Research now indicates the window is wide: consuming adequate protein anywhere from a few hours before to a few hours after training supports muscle repair equally well, as long as you're hitting your daily total. What matters far more is consistency — roughly 1.6 to 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, spread across meals.
