Little cafe type bikes: 125 or 250cc

[eyduc]

Hey thanks!  Too bad I have to sell it in the spring.   Wifey, says one bike only..   

The CB350 twin is a good bike.  Lots of them made.  So, plenty of parts.  Also, easy to cafe, to mod and to race.   Love twins!!!   Also, lots of interchangeability between other Hondas.

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:

Shweet!

There are currently NO pics of this bike. Nothing was on craigslist and no offer of pics were made but I'm going to test ride/inspect on Sunday...

Soon, very soon I am going to have a small, retro, kick start motorcycle...something I have been day dreaming about but didn't think it would happen for quite a while.

I will be going vroom vroom and laughing and being nervous about it all!

OMG I am really riding again (something I had always wanted to do but took me till I was 35 to start) I had fun with my 620 but I wanted to go down in power and get back in!

I bought myself a 250 Rebel to start. I bought myself a 620 Dark.  Now I am finding something in between and we (my husband and I) are buying this one together!

Lot's of thanks to Carl and Stu! I'm gett'n a bike!

And here it is, the wife's new bike:

'71 Honda CB350



Duck Stew found it out in Albuquerque. Actually, he originally picked up a SL350 that he was going to fix up for us, but then he came across this little beauty. He did some great negotiating and picked her up for a song. Muchas Gracias Stu!

That's nice. As soon as you calm down to mild irritation or complete indifference I'll let you ride the SS.

Ah... chrome steel fenders, kickstarters and fuel petcocks. The good old days! [moto] Sweeeet.

So in the midsts of all of this early-70's Honda buying...  I've acquired a '72 Honda SL350.  It's the dirt-bike cousin of the CB with a few differences...

Stronger frame
NO electric start
Magnesium side-covers
smaller headlight

When I went to buy the CB, the guy through in an extra Honda fuel tank off of something about the same vintage.  Well, not that my checkbook can afford this, but I put that tank onto the SL frame and stripped off the extras last night...  Stu may have found a cool (& hopefully low-buck) project bike. 

Only fly in the ointment (besides the $) is that I have no title for it.  Just a bill of sale...  I've got to see if the VIN is clean or not..

[Duck-Stew]

BTW, I wholely blame that gawd-awful TV show 'Cafe-Racer' for all of this. 

Every week, I'm subjected to these cool, low-buck, low-power bikes that just...well...are cool!!!! 





dammit.

WE DEMAND PICS!!

I'll post a thread soon...

I refuse to read the post above until punctuation and paragraph breaks are added.

That is all.
