It idles great, has now done about 10,000 miles since this video and it say's BRG73 not Vincent, just looks simular and to me, the Vincent was the BEST motorcycle ever made.
chrome frame, black rims - looks great - left foot for gears, right foot brake . . had one of these in the 70's - purple tank, black 4-1 and manx bars - standard issue for CB's then - theyre a handsome engine. Mr Honda had a good eye.
norton did a production racer in the 70`s i believe but a lot where and still are home made the classic style would be a triumph engine in a norton (feather bed)frame as was very popular post war.
So just to make sure, I love the cafe racer bikes but know nothing about them, do you make a cafe racer form a normal bike or can you buy a bike new with the cafe style already there?
@Holden599GTB there are no stock built cafe racers to my knowledge being manufactured as it is a very retro 50`s fad from just before and after the creation of motorways in the uk,most are made from production built bikes and modified with cut down seat,performance pipes and tuned engines with as little in the way of extras as in keeping with the early cafe racers,there are in some few cases bikes that are purpose built with big budgets but the majority are customised production bikes .
@Holden599GTB There are a few on the market, Moto Guzzi V7cafe classic, Moto Guzzi V7 Clubman Racer, Triumph Thruxton, Royal Enfield has a couple of conversion kits for the Bullet and I believe Norton has introduced a cafe styled bike as well. Ducatti has the GT, cafe racer inspired, but it definitely looks more modern.
In my mind, buying a factory made cafe bike is a little contrary to the spirit of cafe racers, nothing wrong with it, but you'll certainly get more respect if you do it yourself.
Exhaust sounds amazing, im picking up my first cb750 (1975) and a parts bike (1976) tomorrow... will definitely be buying stuff from you in the near future
Listen! braaaaaaaaahhh

@MrMattWebb if it runs buy it thats a good deal, although people sell CB's for cheap these days, don't realize the value they have.
