Post by: NAKID on July 31, 2009, 10:09:37 AM Pretty decent looking. Probably worth the price if it runs well. I don't like the red engine accents though...

Title: Re: To Cafe or not to Cafe... That is the question. Post by: corndog67 on July 31, 2009, 11:07:22 AM It has that extended swingarm that slows down the already slow steering. It's got what appears to be a Lester mag off of a Kawasaki on the the rear.
$100 bike. If it runs. Title: Re: To Cafe or not to Cafe... That is the question. Post by: corey on July 31, 2009, 11:42:42 AM $100 bike. If it runs. what makes you say this? just looking for some elaboration Title: Re: To Cafe or not to Cafe... That is the question.

Post by: corndog67 on July 31, 2009, 12:08:42 PM In my opinion, it's old. They aren't particularly desirable. It isn't stock. In my book, stock is worth more, whether it's a Duc or an old Honda K-series. It isn't something you can ride daily. Parts are getting scarce. It doesn't even have airfilters on it. It looks really uncomfortable. I bet the cases were painted with a brush. I'm not sure if Honda K-series came with those Comstar wheels, but it has JC Whitney headlight brackets. It's put together with old junk parts.
But, as I said, that is just MY opinion. Title: Re: To Cafe or not to Cafe... That is the question. Post by: Grampa on July 31, 2009, 12:46:10 PM cafe this

It's put together with old junk parts. I agree but might go as high as $500. I love the way craig-listers always come up with some lame reason why they have to sell. Got another bike - not enough room [laugh]But, as I said, that is just MY opinion. The bike would be worth more if stock, even if you were going to cafe' the thing (see carpy) http://www.cb750cafe.com/ (http://www.cb750cafe.com/) Just for comparison http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/mcy/1291673991.html (http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/mcy/1291673991.html) Title: Re: To Cafe or not to Cafe...

He wasn't there this year. Title: Re: To Cafe or not to Cafe... That is the question. Post by: weemonster on July 31, 2009, 03:48:32 PM true cafe racer Honda.
thats an oxymoron. ;D Title: Re: To Cafe or not to Cafe... That is the question. Post by: Vindingo on July 31, 2009, 05:01:52 PM too much $$$ for that thing.
I just sold this bike for almost 1/4th of what that dude is asking (http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs122.snc1/5249_1114951427203_1029470466_30277744_2516318_n.jpg) Title: Re: To Cafe or not to Cafe...

Title: Re: To Cafe or not to Cafe... That is the question. Post by: redxblack on July 31, 2009, 06:09:56 PM I wish it was on a truck headed to my garage. I'm looking for a 600-750 from that era/body style. My son likes riding on the back of my rebel, but I'm turning that into a bobber and need a nice 2-up bike.

A friend gets them pretty regularly for around $500 to $1000 in better (stock) shape. |
