I'd like to see him pop a wheelie.   ;D


Yea, the square 4 is a beauty. They don't get much cleaner.
 
This thing was on CL here localy, I should have went and looked at at least but I did save the pics.

Not sure what it might inspire some one to do. The guy said the engine was built, looks like webers. Also looks scary.

my guess is its a jockey shift with a foot clutch, no front brake, only a rear foot brake.

Oh wait i found more pics.

I swear I see a clutch cable if I zoom in on the first image.. I could be wrong, maybe twist clutch as mentioned earlier? I sure would like to know. Either way its probably a show piece and probably does not get run very much anyway.

This is true inspiration, it also mixes old with new. Some one has a boat load of work into this bike!

I dig this CB500four... I'd like to see how it looks with straight bars.   Regardless, I am in love.  Sorry Phranc.

Wow, that is so awesome, I have to have that.. Imagine how fast I could mow the lawn, remove snow and piss off the neighbours..
That poor motor, still that has to be the best mower I have seen to date!! ;-)
