Yeah, that's pretty hideous CycleRanger.  I have saved a lot of bikes "like that".  They are often a good buy as long as the PO didn't have as bad "mechanical taste" as their cosmetics.  Still no shortage of bad taste customs and way out of style mods here in Michigan.

How about a 250 Ninja cafe racer?

Got a couple of teaser pics of a possible K5 750 in the background. Wonder if that one is next up to get mutilated.

I guess the 250 is wearing a now-unavailable conversion from blue collar bobber or something....

I hope they have something better in mind for the CB.

That's a 7.5 gallon first generation Kawasaki Concours gas tank on the 250 Ninja cafe racer. That thing should have some serious range.

I think you're right. I've got one for one of my 250 Nighthawk projects, I'm thinking 500 miles between fill-ups. I'm hoping I can make that bike comfortable enough to ride that far without fuel stops. It's gonna need a custom rear sprocket....

500 miles at average of 60mph is gonna be over 8 hours...
I would not be able to stand upright after that much time in a car, much less on a bike.

All very true. I'm probably over estimating but it'll be fun to find out how far I can go before I begin to regret it. I've got an old Corbin seat from Ninja that mates up to that tank pretty well.  Making the bike comfortable enough is going to be the hurdle, otherwise stoping for comfort but not fuel will be the order of the day.

Currently on CL for $2k.  Not quite an abomination but.. suspiciously cheap.

I like it Jim, and Spotty would love it, he's a scooter guy, which is an abomination in itself as he's 7 feet tall, so looks like an elephant fcuking a football on his 2300cc Triumph Rocket III. ;D

That was a great deal for you John if I recall, you bought a sweet chopper, and got a low numbers sandcast thrown in for spares! I wish I could find deals like that here. ;D
