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

That text is so f'ed up it made my eyes hurt.... maybe just my 'puter display settings... but DAMN!
I thought the RE 'Zooks had a crazy gauge pod... not standard in any way.

That is most definitely a factory gauge pod.
 
That how you know how fast your going on the worst idea Suzuki ever hatched I've seen a few with sub 20 miles on them. Mainly due to the fact that NO ONE BOUGHT THEM. You need cdl's to ride the heavy pig and if you was not as smart or smarter than big rich forget ever working on it. A for effort but d- for pulling it off . That thing need a gauge to show you how many girl you not gonna bang ridding a 70's Mazda boss hoss
 
The ebay listing isn't stock. I have a friend who has 8 of these bikes...he loves them! The tail light is shaped just as the gauge pod and the signal lights are globe shaped. These bikes are so ugly they are beautiful. They are hard to find and can bring shit tons of money. If you come across one and its cheap...buy it!
 
Not exactly guys. First year out they came with that beautiful instrument pod to reflect the rotary theme. They looked space age and everyone either loved them or hated them but very few were bought. Next year they went to a GT750 style instrument set and dealers often updated bikes in stock to conventional clocks to sell them.
 
I like how he is using the left cylinder to heat the twin filtered HOT AIR induction system! ..... now I'm second guessing my velocity stacks... ;)
