Hey!
I just joined a few days ago. nice to meet everyone! I'm 22 and I'm very interested in cafe racer-styled motorcycles! I don't own a bike but I'd like to in the next few months. To be honest, I've never even ridden one (unless you count the 125cc motorbikes i rode while backpacking in SE asia ). My dad rides a Speed Triple but I know better than to try and ride a bike that big.
What kind of bike should I start out with? I have basic mechanical skills from working on cars. I was thinking of a early 70's CB350 twin. I've heard honda bikes are reliable and I think the CB350's got a ton of attitude. Anything I should know about them? What's considered good mileage? I'm a total beginner here!
This video sold me on the bike:
