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

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

If the engine isn't locked, talking the guy down may be worth fitting that block into something else. Or just finishing it and fucking shit up afterwards.
 
If I had the spare time, storage space, and mainly money, it could be a wild adventure I guess ;D
Or I could jam the engine in to my 350 frame... now that would be crazy.

Quick answer is no, haha. This has been hashed over opening an unsafe can of worms on a weak 70's frame.

I wasn't remotely planning on doing it, just joking around haha. I figure the pressed frame would just crumple with 1/4 throttle :eek:
 
Couldn't really find a good thread to post this...but this build is probably one of my favorites on the site. Just found her on ebay.

Someone needs to buy this thing from the guy and take it to the track.

a little ironic I'm currently building something just like this. Mine is a 93 gsxr 600 engine in a kawasaki klt250. Stretching the frame 4.5" and building a rear suspension. As the mock up sits it will be 2.5" longer wheel base and 3" more ground clearance than a Honda 250x. This one isn't going to CL though it's for just to play around the house with. Let the hating begin lol

Looks like a lot of work, but yes I do not like.

For it's use around the house and shit then as long as you are enjoying the project, go for it! Not like it's an uber rare motor being wasted so who cares?

Look at how confusing this post is.
 
wow that was a good one, i thought he was doing it deliberately but now i'm not so sure, i think he was just illiterate

one thing though...XB33's going to chuck a pink fit when he sees that listing, but then we'd expect no less from his lordship

Almost as confusing as this : "For it's use around the house and shit then as long as you are enjoying the project, go for it! Not like it's an uber rare motor being wasted so who cares?"
