Cafe racers [pics]

Probably past time
we could race to see who gets thier project back on the road first. I've got two that need doing. '71 R75/5 and a 98 ST2. I'm trying to get the airhead roadworthy by summer, but the Ducati gives me a dirty look everytime I walk past it.

Me too!

Hey hoof,
Nice bike. The front brake hydraulic hose thru the head stem - is that a cutom thing or adapted from other?

Love the lines on the tank on this Triumph.

Some more!

That looks like 1988, with that '88 Paso sittin' there.

Good point.

I took the Duc with me the only time I've been to Biketoberfest and seeing this old pic made me believe this was that time.
When you pointed out the Paso I had to rethink. This shot was from Bike Week ,spring '88. I took the 860 for a street ride after racing my 250 at the AHRMA races earlier in the week. The DIOC meet was during the 200 on Sunday.
Thanks for the memory jog.

Fun little bike... I've got other junk in my shop.... but I take this one most of the time... it just works.

Very nice 450 or 500 twin?

it's a CB 500 T Just a great bike... simple easy clean and fun

The quintessential cafe Roundfin Guzzi... S-3...

How about a in-line V-twin Rob, My bosses brothers kid just got one of thease..for 500.00 bucks,
We will see how far he get"s??

Virago...? Sweet, that would certainly be a challenging build, fun though...

Looks similar to the new cb1100 coming out. Sharp!

Yeah... Honda is pretty good at "bold new graphics"!

Them GB's are some sweet lookin machines.

Yeah, just when I had finally shaken that urge to go find a GB... Love those rigs.
