To Cafe or not to Cafe... That is the question.

Thoughts on this little beauty guys? The price is right methinks...

Pretty decent looking. Probably worth the price if it runs well. I don't like the red engine accents though...

[duccarlos]

Looks good for the price. Like Nakid said, if it runs then it's a keeper.

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.

that's exactly what I was thinking when I read the ad

[corndog67]

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.

Now that I would take a look at.    All stock, probably gets about 120 mpg.

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 

The bike would be worth more if stock, even if you were going to cafe' the thing (see carpy) http://www.cb750cafe.com/


Just for comparison

Hey, I met that guy that builds the CB750 cafe bikes at the car show here in Santa Maria a year or two ago.   He wasn't there this year.

 true cafe racer Honda.
thats an oxymoron.
 

[Vindingo]

too much $$$ for that thing. 

I just sold this bike for almost 1/4th of what that dude is asking

I was sad to see it go... it is a sweet bike!   but I'm sure you will do it justice that I couldn't!
