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

If only I had more space, this could be a great bike (after a few corrections) KZ750 twin is a great motor.

Those 750 twins sure are cool engines. I had one for a brief stint. Should have kept it.

I know I killed a lot of brain cells in the 70's, but did I miss the trend where seats needed to look like bloated road kill? It reminds me of those Mexican dancers that have the 12" curved toes on their cowboy boots....

 

[The Wheel]

That bike's got a badonkadonk.

Throw 'cafe racer' in the title, everybody's doin' it:

Sure that's not the James Bond edition? You know, the one with missiles, oil slick, smoke screen, radar jammer, cattle prod, two new suits and another motorcycle ready to launch from under the tailpiece?

 

[hocbj23]

No thats the Jane Fonda Edition.BJ

 

[Ellwood]

That's the smugglers edition...you could get a couple kilos in there...or a car battery!

That used to look like this: one of the original factory race replicas.

Yeah, neat, but that tail is way outta scale.

 

[mydlyfkryzis]

Back in the day, the higher tail was more aerodynamic. Now the ride wears the "hump" on the back for the same purpose.

I thought that bike was it, back in the day, but now I wonder what I might of been thinking. A naked Commando is still sexy though...I heard Rich Ard likes his commandos naked too...

If you can take clothes off of it, it's better that way.

Spider man would be proud.... to not ride this....

 

[buckeyebike]

I am surprised the Playa' has steel rims . . .

Is that tail supposed to look...like that?

 

[ApriliaBill]

Funny thing is... In Socal, without that stupid tail, it brings over $4k.
