Hi everyone.
I'm new to the scene, just got my first bike. 1972 Honda CB450. All original and in pretty decent shape.
I'm planning to ride it this season and do a full resto-mod over the winter. (minus a few tiny mods I can't resist doing right away *cough* clubmans)
I've always loved cafe bikes and I recently turned 25 and decided to finally take up riding. I'm a gear head who's gone through 20 or so pretty crazy cars over the past decade. They just don't do it for me like they used to and I'm looking forward to cruising on my bike this summer here in Toronto. The scene here is pretty good and I'm sure I'll meet some of you soon at meets or randomly around town.
First pic is my bike! (not bad for $900 cad)
Second and third pics I found on the internet, they are examples of what I think a sweet cafe racer should look like and what mine might turn out to resemble. Black wheels, de-chroming most of the bike is a must.)
Thanks for reading!
