lets get to it...

hymodyne's faired cafe

Hopterfixer's very cool CB750

toddkamps' green machine

Okie's beautiful 1974 black CB350F!!

Andy750's polished sliver cafe:

tsflstb's badass 400

Why do you have to make it so hard on us voters?

+100% Crap, just how in the hell can anyone make a choice from those bikes. Not a bad one in the lot. This will take some serious thought. Maybe I can find a spot of dirt or road grim and use that to decide j/k. MY head will get sore beating against the monitor.

All outstanding examples but there is one that just catches my eye a little more than the rest.

Cheers

I both fully enjoy this thread series and dread it. May I be a colossal pain in the butt and suggest in the future having categories (Cafe, Resto, Surviver-NOT the band) loosely structured? I see one issue when there are too few bikes but as SOHC4 grows ever bigger it may make it less difficult for the voting.

But harder for Hef!!

Feel free to tell me to piss up a rope.

I want to make sweet, unadulterated love to hymodyne's fairing, but tsflstb's red bodywork/black rims/silver spokes is probably what my own 550 is going to look like when it's done. (It's just a coincidence, I swear!) So, my vote goes to my my future doppelgänger.

Just have to mention why I picked the bike I did [Disclaimer:ALL bikes looked great..a credit to all SOHC 4 afficionados I feel]..

HOWEVER..Hopterfixer's example somehow reflects a bike that's been modified to cafe sensibilities..but doesn't loose the original SOHC 4's design appeal..I felt @ least.

Even with my own stock 550K..which due to it's original pristine condition..and my reluctance to mess with that..is somehow surpassed by the thoughtful, thorough rebuilds done by some of our SOHC 4 members.

Thanks all for the memorable, enjoyable examples, candidates!

Put down the wrench, and step slowly away from the motorcycle...

I think I've got it narrowed down the three... need more time to decide...

just watching where all the votes are rolling in to... this contest is working up to be a real surprise!

Mine has it's share of dirt and grime, 14,000 miles in two years will do that

+1....51,000 miles (turned this weekend as I was passing a few sportsbikes on the highway - were they surprised!) on mine will do that as well

Lots of good choices this month, but there can be only 1.

Okay. I made my choice. I placed my vote... then I removed my vote and voted for someone else. That's it, I am stepping away from the keyboard. My vote is in.

What a hard choice...

loonymoon · « **Reply #18 on:** June 18, 2008, 12:41:19 PM »

OMG that was a very, VERY difficult one. In separate competitions I would have voted for every single one. Lots of examples of very, very fine work.

I feel I've voted for the underdog though...

wow, these are all spectacular bikes!

cleveland · « **Reply #22 on:** June 21, 2008, 09:00:50 AM »

In the end Andy's tank is what sold me. Nice work Andy!

BTW, I would trade my bike for any one of these, and yes it was VERY hard to chose.

BTW, where did you get those grips from?

joecool14u2 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 23, 2008, 12:36:04 PM »

yeah the simplicity of original and sweet seems to just draw the eye, so okie has another vote, true chrome pipes and exhaust eye catching, original stock appearance you see less and less of so it becomes more and more appealing, stock grips that are not as comfortable to ride with add to the original look also, factory type mirrors or close i think, and really clean gauge display

but the sivler tank was hard to pass up also, that really pops, almost blinding in sunlight i bet, and i really envy the one with the sport fairing, that would be all to sweet in the winter months here in georgia, and i fell ashamed to pick one over the rest because all are obvious to earnest owners that respect and care for their ride so hats off to everyone that got nominated

Ecosse · « **Reply #24 on:** June 23, 2008, 10:26:23 PM »

After some intense internal debate (I won of course) I managed to cast my vote. I have my panties in a twist because I truly love all the bikes.

Good luck to all; next month I'm nominating the rusting Kawasaki 750 twin in my friend's back yard just to move things along!

Can you really pick one?
