Figured I'd take a minute to introduce myself... New to the forum, cafe racers, and motorcycles in general! I've always been interested in motorcycles and decided that I'm finally going to get one (hopefully) by the end of the year. A friend got me interested in cafe racers and suggested I look at getting a CB350F. Another friend thinks cafe bikes aren't the best choice for a beginner and suggests I start off with a 250 Ninja, then move onto a cafe racer in a year or so if I still want one. I was directed here by the first friend and figured it'd be a good place to learn a few things.

I'll do my best to stay out of the way, but I'm sure I'll have a few stupid questions to ask from time to time.
 
Hey Soupy, welcome to the grounds. If your new to motorcycles in general, anything you get is gonna have a learning curve. Different bikes will require different riding styles. If cafe bikes are what ya like, then get what you like and learn to ride it. Just make sure your ready to work on it equally as much :)
 
Thanks, I'm really leaning towards building a cafe racer. I think it'd make a fun project for me to tinker with over the summer and while I don't have any experience with bikes I figure if I can work on and build firearms I can probably learn to do the same with motorcycles. I'm scanning craigslist for possible first bikes and found a decent looking CB350F but the ad was taken down before I had time to call and ask how much the guy wanted. The search continues, I suppose...

Gonna spend as much time as I can reading through threads and trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can.
 
Craigslist is your friend and evil enemy. If I don't jump on a listing as soon as I see it, then I'm out of luck.
