"Cafe Racer" such a loose term! Craigslist "Gem" of the week!

I keep closing that ad in disgust and then reopening it to see what else I can find wrong with it. Something new every time!!!

Wtf is going on above the petcock??

The front brake?

Ahhh hell, the one drum brake in the rear outta stop it well enough. Especially with those tires.
 
There's a damn good reason he doesn't show a straight on shot from the rear.

Maybe "8" was the number of whiskey shots the pro had before centering the tail section.

Missed it byyyyy (-that) much.

Gawd.

He paid someone to build it, which means the guy is a professional. Right Mobius? ;D Professional taker of money. The real budget went into the harbor freight headlight and the $10 pods.

Starts, runs and drives "fine".

I don't see the problem.

XB?You wanna take this? Now watch,my luck he will like this one. :eek:

Oversized Grom?: Put some K591's on it and I'm in for a daytona beach cruiser :eek:

that number 8 is taking the cake ;D you would seriously halfta be dumber than a day old $%^U^# to admit to owning it
 
HA! Just look at that 750!

Once I drove it around decide that is not for me, looking for something more comfortable to drive in the lines of a Yamaha BOLT

More like, I got someone to fuck up a hard to find bike and it hurts to ride it, emotional and physically.
 
Notice the front motor mounts. Seller says it doesn't need them. The two on the bottom hold it together. He didn't even know the engine wasn't a 75.
 
Wow didnt even notice the motor mount till now. Its like he made a list of everything NOT to do to a cb750 and checked it off one by one.
 
Pure shit work, But I can't help but see the mini trail on steroids design that makes me want to sketch out a version of this thing for a beach bomber/sand tosser :eek:

If you're into mopeds...

I feel like I should buy as many of these as I can and just get em going to sell if/when the economy takes another digger, I just can't vision the US having mopeds with a thousand chickens ass packed on headed for the market... Yet :eek:

Pretty much just defined hipster paradise. Always thought those little 'peds were cool, getting a little pricey these days though, for what they are
 
The catch is selling them in a college town. I work in Columbia, SC alot where the University of South Carolina is. Mopeds have gotten to be at least as plentiful as bicycles.
