hey guys. im derek from salt lake utah. i like going fast. i like old things. and i especially like going fast in old things. weather its your grandma or a cafe, ill ride the hell out of it. ummm.. anyway..
i have a 93' yamaha fizzer right now. its a fun bike but a horrible replacement for my old honda cb350 cafe. that bike got stolen about this time last year and it was depressing. i never found it and now im searching for a new one. its awesome that i found this forum. didnt know one existed. ill be hitting the for sale section right after i submit this. thanks for the great looking site and its about time something like this existed
the 400 fours and the 350s are cool and both have followings, but the cb550 with the 650 motor is the one you want. I have always wanted to do that hot rod swap but have never owend a 650 and a 500 at the same time (and it is a cb650 motor or a first year nighthawk motor - they are the same).
KZ400s are not good beginner bikes if they need motor work (4 internal chains). Plus they are slow.
How close are you to ny? I might have something I could trade you for that FZR600. - Just saw you were in Utah, nevermind.
