What the hell, cafes are supposed to be unique….so why not have one powered by a turbine?




There's video too…not a practical bike, but if you are an attention whore, build one. LOL

It's not a CB750, but I can't wait to have all the parts to a cafe in this kind of brand new, ready to assemble condition…..

That would be nice...but it would also require organization AND forethought.I lack both,so that makes that scenario a pipe dream for me.lol

I liked those Suzuki GT series bikes with the Ram Air System on top of the head. Hood scoops were cool stuff back in the 60s when I was growing up. The Kawasaki 2 stroke triples, and later the KZ series, were also cool stuff. Since my dad had a VW bus, I thought the BMW R series were pretty cool as well.

Beats me how I hooked up with a guy with a Triumph back then.

My Pops went from Triumph to Honda to this trike he built. I dont have any pics of it finished,but there WAS metal flake involved. He built every piece of this out in the front yard. Honda tank full of cement,10" over SOHC front end and a lot of scrap metal saved off of whatever construction site he could find it on. I'm not real big on trikes,but i do hate that this one was never kept around.

The VW engine is stuck,i robbed the brake rotor and speedo drive for my bike and everything else is froze solid. Plus,I hate the sound of a VW engine. I ti s kinda sad seeing it languish in the weeds,though. I do plan to resurrect that set of 10" over forks ( if possible)! I considered a bobber,but i really want to build a chopper. Nothing crazy though. No rat rod chopper. No offense to anyone that digs the rat rod scene, i got one of my own. I just like for my bikes to look done.JMO

Re: Bike that inspire you.

Half-Caf
I stumbled across this bike today and must say, I'm a pretty big fan. It's not one of those bikes that you would need to baby and shine all the time, keeping it in pristine condition.
In many ways, I think this is what a cafe should really look like:

Just noticed this…there was one sitting in a local bike shop! I saw it in person just a few months ago, it was for sale.

First time here and first post!!! :D

I was given a 1980 honda cb750f for free. I want it to look like this but instead of having a black tank I wanted metal gray or primer only.

I want to get it running and in working order. I got the oil changed, carbs rebuilt and spark plugs changed. I need a new tank, tires, brakes and upholster the seat. Then the custome will beggin. :D
