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

3k for a top end rebuild!!! my word.

Not top end, that would be nuts right! My engine is getting a top to bottom, trans and clutch all new plus a hydraulic clutch slave cylinder and all new charging system with electronic ignition, polished case and covers and power coated sleeve. I guess Im going all out. Wait, you did not think I was talking about the R75 did you? This is a different project, a 79 Bonneville.

Thanks for the reply Autotek.

I've got another good one for you guys. This guy has been trying to sell this one for the better half of a year, I always see it on craigslist with the same "SUPER KOOL" ad...

Check it out guys... "Café Racer / Bobber Super Kool" This one's even got CLUBMANS!.. :

Haha, wtf's up with that seat?

 

[Finnigan]

Sadly thats a great deal over here on the west coast. I want my next bike to be a cb750 and I'm seriously debating going on a road trip to a different state to pick one up....maybe even a few!

 

[axeugene27]

yikes how the heck does he even ride it with the bars like that

 

[Brentscafe]

That seat would be super comfortable on a nice long ride! Haha

Agreed. Great start to a build. Looks clean overall, minus the "custom" touches.

Clearly this is how clubmans are supposed to be mounted.. we're all just doing it wrong.... ???

[neckyzips]

thats how my friends at the bike shop thought they were to be mounted, when i bought my first set some 10 years ago...

i love how these bikes can be bought for < 1k, but to buy some wheels and forks is 500 bucks...

So, how do you adjust hydraulic brakes? Hey BC we need to get together, I rode for like 45 mins today, so nice.

 

[BCBarker]

absolutely! I had a quick ride at lunch time myself. only 15 mins, but enough to blow the cob-webs out! I'll be around this weekend. Poes pub?

 

[Autotek]

Im hunting all weekend and wont be back, I wish tho. Moving to a new place after xmas. How about a pub after work one day?

Yup, that's exactly what old Ducati Cafe Racers look like. Nailed it.

 

[J-Rod10]

I'd actually love to have this one. Be nice to make the Cannonball Run on.

That "Ducati replica" is so out of proportion it's almost comical. The tail is bigger than the gas tank, someone doesn't know how to read a tape measure.

Henderson TN ?

I suppose it could happen anywhere but ...

How about $1200 for an 81 GS550 that needs a new gear box?

Second ad: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/3549597277.html

I know it costs about $2000 to replace a gear box on a Magna, how much to do it on one of these?
