the new guy!

derek · 2007-05-22

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

nah. its the FZR600. good for commuter but too old to be fast and too new to be cool.

so i got in touch with this guy that has a whole slew of early 70s japanese bikes laying around. he gave me a choice of which one i want out of the ones he was willing to let go. he honestly has over 80 bikes and most of them are restored back to factory mint. help me decide my next project!

he has two honda 400 fours
a honda cb350
a kawi kz400
or a cb550 with a 650 nighthawk motor.

i did the cb and love that bike but i might try something different. dont know much about the others though. what do you guys think?

ok. im going to throw my interest to the 550 then. the 400 fours seem to be really nice bikes and the cb350 is a snotter but i can still see potential. ill post pics of the one i get on saturday when i pick it up.
