DOHC Cafe

Just a few pics for the guys on here building DOHC Cafe's. This bike is a CB650,but I believe it shares the same frame so the styling should relate. Please correct me if wrong. Its an older post.

Well it makes a cool bike. I don't know if it is a cafe but it is kinda cool.
The cb650 is an odd duck. It started in 79 and went to 82 and was an sohc while the 750 became a dohc. kinda messed up that honda did that. They essentially had a bunch of 550 parts left and threw them together with a few new parts to make it look different. Born out by the fact that a lot of 650 parts will fit into the 550 case.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

I'm confused. You'll find that this is often the case. Are you building this bike or are you just sharing? I saw the Magazine and had to ask.
I think it's Bad A$$. Kind of a rat Bobber meets Cafe. I like it and it would draw a lot of respect, I think.

Sorry,I guess that would have been confusing.No,it's not mine.There have been several guys around here wanting to Cafe their DOHC,but some believe that certain aspects of a DOHC doesn't lend itself to being Cafe'd. I found this and just thought I would share it
