Re: Thought I'd share... HONDA CB750 Cafe Racer

I can't comment. Can't see pics. Will look tonight.

Re: Thought I'd share... HONDA CB750 Cafe Racer

I like that too, and personally I think that modern rear light blends well with the rest of it.

Glad to see it's got some proper brakes though :)

Well it sort of goes in a modern take off the old cafe racer look. Kinda retro with a modern twist. Nice flow to it as well which is way better than the bulging horse shoes they used to fit at the back. I'd say it's cool.

Glad you like my work mate. It's been a while since I've done something of the sort for the site. Should do something neat pretty soon. I'm working on making a 3D SV650 model so I can try out some funky design ideas on. Kind of a customization platform before committing sort of thing. I'll post some pictures as soon as I have something decent to show.

Re: Thought I'd share... HONDA CB750 Cafe Racer

Ooh I like that. Not sure about the swingarm though. JHS :?:

Re: Thought I'd share... HONDA CB750 Cafe Racer

I like that, apart from the swingarm. Very nice.

Re: Thought I'd share... HONDA CB750 Cafe Racer

I like it. Bit too solid and heavy looking for a cafe racer- you can't see right through it in enough places :mrgreen: But it's handsome. Like 9/10 of all naked bikes the headlight's far too high, that robs it of its stance, bit of a fail that. In fact the whole top yoke/bars looks too high, but the headlight makes it really obvious. Likewise the brake fluid reservoir.

And I HATES me the underbraced JMCs. They only look good on ZRXs.

Re: Thought I'd share... HONDA CB750 Cafe Racer

Like it
Rickman made a CR version of this in the 70s which had the added advantage of a frame that handled well too.

Re: Thought I'd share... HONDA CB750 Cafe Racer

I do like that, it has an almost Voxan look about it.
