Why so many "cafe" single cams?
« on: February 05, 2010, 09:06:08 PM »
For me, I think it's the most logical conclusion to one of the first sport bikes on the market.
   The builder makes the bike lighter, makes it handle better, and in most cases faster.
While some keep the vintage look with updated internals, some update with modern components.
   

Umm, I'm really tired so I'm losing my train of thought....



Discuss :)
everything I say is pure speculation and
I have no idea what I'm talking about  ._.

Well I think it is also the period of bike. Cafe came out in the days of single cam and I think people associate cafe and single cam together.

Not much point cafe'ing something modern that already looks like most of it fell off the production line and no one noticed! ;D
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

If you shop around it also pretty cheap to get into one of these old Honda's for a low initial start-up cost.Lots of them lurking around barns,sheds,garages and no shortage of parts.
