My buddy is big into customizing bikes, and has built a few Cafes. Currently rebuilding an old Ducatti.
I ride around on his old Suzuki GT500.

the suzuki tu250 comes to mind.
although the beginner in me kind of wants to try out one of those cheap but well-reviewed sym wolf classic 150. pretty low powered machine but i don't plan on doing much highway riding at all.

Ya, those 250s can make pretty cool racers:
Note the significantly lower handlebars, the rounded seat/fender cap, and the FAT tires.
Those are generally "defining" traits of a true Café Racer.

i definitely love the ridged seats of the old honda scramblers though!
