Getting more bikes

jayfromjay

If it don't hit the ton, well it aint no fun!
So not that I'm near finishing the CB400 quite yet but I've stumbled on a 79 KZ750 twin, running, rough paint , for about 6oo.oo and a Yahama 750 4 cylinder for around $150.00. I'm gonna grab the Kawi just cuz I love 'em me some old Kawis' and might grab the Yahama cuz it's cheap. Are these good Cafe bikes?
 
That's just a matter of opinion, and everybody will have their own ideas.
For me, I would say the big twin would be great for the job. Not so much the four pot Yam.
 
The KZ750 twins are big tall heavy motors. Not particularly fast but they're OK bikes.

What year is the Yamaha, and what chassis? If it's a Maxim, skip it; that's a pseudo-cruiser. Secas have sort of a tricky frame but they're cooler. Seca and Maxim use the same motor. If it's actually a 750 triple that would be a really cool bike if it's not a "Special" (another pseudo-cruiser).
 
If it's an old Fazer grab it - those things look great. Not so fast but they really captured the street rod look. MAxim's and Secas not so much but they were good enough bikes for what they were.
 
Its your money do what you like with it. I f you see a possibility on making a profit then go for it. Just know all these old bikes need money put in to them , weather its a new battery,registration etc. If you are tight on money hold out and finish building your 400. If you have cash to spend then hey by all means .
As far as cafe bikes go ,if you see it in your vision to make a cafe out of it then anything is possible.
