Saw the CM400 Cafe Racer...yes I know kind of odd bike to build into a Cafe Racer... in person this weekend at a show and let me tell you this thing is amazing. The details and finish of this bike are amazing and more importantly I met the brother who built it and he is a stand up guy who just loves all things with 2 wheels. I vote for the CM400 this month as the bike is a piece of art!

Thanks alot I appreciate those kind words and it was great chatting with someone with the same interest in bikes. I don't know how far away from Waterbury Ct you are but I should be moved into my new shop here in the next month, you should ride down and check it out.

The Suzuki gets my vote. I urge anyone overlooking it because it's not the shiniest to read through the build thread http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=12787.0. The engineering work gone into it is very impressive. It's a truly unique machine.

Holy hell. The Suzuki gets my vote. Well done, man!

Haha! Brad... thanks bro! :)

We're in tough again this time around. The 400 is cool and clean and the 250 blows me away with the detail and technology added! :eek:

The Mongrel is a rough, dirty sledge hammer by comparison. I like it though, and I know some others do to! 8) That's all that matters to me!! ;D
 
We are pullin the trigger for the GT,...the GT is begging to be road hard and put up wet...

I remember literally laughing out loud when I first saw his build thread a week or so ago. It's threads like his that make me realize how much of a chump I really am. ;D

Seriously though, I too was blown away by the amount of work and really cool big AND little details that have gone in to this ride. Such a cool little scoot. Loads of skills, man. I hope you do more bikes! Very cool AND very unique indeed.

A "true" one-of-a-kind.
 
Mongrel for me KH 750 the original widow maker proper mans bike...


my old man used to tell me more than 2 strokes is a wank
 
Well, as usual, the "Mongrel" is "in tough" again this month for BOTM. :p ;D

I figure I'll give you a few pics and a little info to "buy" a few more votes. ;D Actually, I just like to share about my favourite 2 stoke! ;)

My first street bike was a h2b back in 1977. I only had it for 7 months, but I was smitten. :) I traded it in on a new KZ1000, but always knew I'd have another.

It took awhile but in 2006 I got another one:

Spent some time and $$ and had this:

Switched the bars:

Unfortunately, I can't leave well enough alone. Took parts from this:

And this:

Plus this:

To end up with this:

I'm not really a daily rider, but did put a few miles (kilometers?) on it in Ontario, Ohio and Alabama.

Even got to cruise around Canadian Tire Motorsports Park (Mosport) for a few laps. THAT was fun!! ;D
