Hey all
I am a relative newby to bikes having bought my first bike 18 months ago. I bought a cx500 for 50 bucks and every bit of it was ugly. I am currently doing an ed degree at uni and have 2 young kids and one on the way so budget for the rebuild was REALLY tight. Ended up getting it on the road for under $300 which included cam chain, mech seal etc etc. Anyway pics are below.
It is now at daily ride stage and i am thinking i need a new project. Would love to do a jap classic cafe and I was hoping to get some advice about what make/model is a good platform to start with. I want something with a bit of GO. Uni degree is over in 2 weeks so i should be teaching early October so this time budget wont be so limited but i do like to do all the work myself and keep costs low (it helps to maintain ongoing support of the finance minister).
Anyway thanks for reading, Love the site
Cheers
