first, a little about me. my name is robbie and i live in south florida, land of straight roads, i'm 21 years old. i've been riding for a little over a year now. my current bike is a 2002 ducati 748. i love to ride the piss out of the thing. taking it to the track for the second time in a little over a week. i think i'm addicted.
(why do these intros always sound like an add from the personals in the news paper.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>)
saw some pictures of a cafe racer style bike, and now i think i found a new hobby. looking for ideas of a good starter cafe racer style bike. looking for something that i can ride on an almost daily basis once brought to rideable condition. i'm liking the mid and late 70's honda cb 750 etc type bikes. no real preference yet. would like something that can withstand the occasional highway trip as well. hence the 650 and 750 bikes are nice. never done anything like this before. what can i expect to have to do in a simple rebuild and conversion. is it difficult to work on these motors? parts availability? any adice is much appreciated. thanks.
