Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

yup its a really cool kit but super pricey... i do like the xsr900 in its standard looks but id prefer a more sport style with that engine so im hopeful for the gp version.

 

That think is sexy too

 

Gdamn! If you took that brown leather longer seat n tail on the 750 and put it on the GL650 id need some alone time with my computer. But as is they are BEAUTIFUL and im not even a cafe type of guy but that GL650 powerplant just looks SO FREAKING COOL.

 

mhmm id love for it to come out because id be ordering one haha but time will tell

ya that dude has built some cool bikes he just got done with the silver wing a few months back he was saying

 

Those are rad! This is my neighbor’s Honda he built up.

 

@pndwind has a sweet 79 CB750. I've been telling him it's trashed and that I would take it off his hands free of charge. I'm trying to clean up America

 

I own both a Triumph Thruxton, which is similar to the W800, and a CBR600RR. These bikes are nothing alike. The Thruxton is heavier and has a somewhat forward leaning riding position, but is no where near as aggressive as the CBR. Overall, it is a lot more comfortable to ride. The CBR is lightweight and nimble, but very compact/ tight, and I'm only 5'11." I would base your decision on preferred riding style and usage. The CBR is built for the track. Cafe bikes are a lot better for street riding compared to supersports. To put it in perspective, I am selling my CBR600RR, but have no plans to ever part with the Thruxton.

 

SWEET! Man those are nice. If that’s an actual 750f they seem to be getting pretty scarce.

 

wow now that is pretty!

according to what he said he has had it for years and then built it years ago and just rides it around once and awhile

and tell me about it... its the one old bike that i just want so bad! but i cant find one..... ive tried getting a few for cheap that are well in parts but no dice sadly!

 

Oh we doing cb750's now? 1981 CB750C

 

My friend Sean built this CB a while ago. He's working on a tacoma project for me now too

dang thats just not fair haha i wish i could find a old cb to turn into a cafe racer! then i wouldnt need to buy a new one lol

 

Take a drive in the country, and look in people's yards. My friend gets alot of his projects for free. Beats whatever people are asking on fb, like @oldtoyman was griping about.

 

my friend Rheannon is selling her old CB550 for a song and a dance. She bought it at the height of the cafe racer craze like seven or eight years ago for I think $8000 (granted it was all polished up and in much better shape) and now can't even get $1000 for it.




And out of curiousity, this is what my local FB marketplace looks like for CB's. They're all over the place here.

 

valid point its hard out here with rust thou lol

 

Late night advrider page 3 browsing wins! Scored this jacket for $75 off! And its new never worn!

What does this sign mean?!>?
Will I die?

 

means its easy to loose control. that its a bit slippery

 

I'll be intrigued to hear your thoughts on it when you get it. When they released it my thought was just "huh, it's a $400 rain jacket, I don't get it." Am I missing something?
