Still trying to figure out what to do with this one:




Been sitting in the corner of the shed for a while now, any ideas?

That looks like a CB350. Honda made like 600,000 of those including all the lil variations so there are more parts then you know what to do with. I am in the middle of a restore of one of those. If you do a search or watch Cafe racer on Discovery gets you very motivated.

Nah, it's a CB175.

Methinks I smell a project.  [evil]

<EDIT>

I'm definitely getting motivated now.  [evil]

I like a drink. You know when people say 'I like a drink as much as the next man'? Not if I'm the next man, you don't.

Those wee little CB's make great little knock-around cafe bikes.  My introduction to motorbikes was building this '70 CL175 up from a pile of parts:



I still contend that it's the most fun you can have with 11 horsepower.  Occasionally I kick myself for ever getting rid of it.

Someone will be posting this CB350 FOUR on Craig's list shortly, though nowhere near as in good shape as that.

Dude, that CB77 is frickin' gorgeous!

Stew is going to try to work a deal for us on Sunday. If he can do it Polpetta's new bike will be a '71 CB350. Sort of like this:
