I am reposting this picture from Facebook, I really like this bike. It is tastefully done and not over-the-top.

I agree. Very nicely done. Very appealing.
But the luggage, also very nice, does it fit into the cafe' paradigm? Would one more properly label the bike as a sport tourer?

Great looking bike Vince.
Bikes like that always make me think about putting "old style" valve covers on my R100.

Call it a Interstate Cafe.

A beautiful custom job, whatever you call it.
However I don't think you can call anything with luggage and without clip-ons and rearsets a cafe racer - I grew up building these using Triumph engines and BSA or Norton frames and those were absolute requirements...
Dresda legend Dave Degens will build you a new one if you've got the cash:

Does the one without the fairing have rearsets?

Sort of - the gear lever is reversed to allow the footrest to sit further back.

I like to call mine a "Coffee" bike.
