Thread: Motorcycles

I have enjoyed building a 1974 Honda cb360 cafe racer. Project took me about a year. Pulled it out of a barn and after a healthy application of elbow grease I ended up with this,

Nice work on the Honda!!

Thanks man

Thought I'd bump this thread.

I've got my test on Monday afternoon, which really can't come around quick enough! Got a Yamaha XJ6 sitting in the garage and not being able to take it out is driving me a bit mad.

Allegedly I'm learning at the wrong time of year but I'm hoping to squeeze in at least a few weeks of riding before the worst of the shite weather sets in.

Looks pretty clean,,is it brand new?

Wondering how the heck I missed this motorcycle thread for the past 3 years???

Yeah, it is—on the new 63 registration, too, which is probably more exciting if you live in the UK. Yamaha had £600 cash back and 0% finance on all XJ6 models until a couple of weeks ago, so I bought it while I could!

More of an incentive to ride carefully and not drop it, I suppose.

Be carefull & enjoy,,,

I really miss my FJ-1200,,,but maybe I'll get another one,,,in another life.

Thanks; I'll report back when I get it out on the road, hopefully by the middle of the week.

Update, I Changed scooters. See post #242, I now have an 84' BMW R65, big difference in power........is an understatement, but I'm having more fun with this one at any rate. Removed some thing's, Krauser hard bags, sport fairing, added some K&N Cones (air filters) and have yet to remove the airbox but plan to. I put some clubmen bars on it and would like to add some rearset footpegs/ controls and change the seating to more of a cafe style......we'll see..
