BOX FRESH: A ZERO MILE HONDA CB750 CAFE RACER
TOday i've gone away from random browsing and taken Todays choice from Bike Exif. Mostly because, well, it may not be perfect, but unlike some of the recent bikes and specials they've had on there, it's at least worthy of discussion.
Of course we all know your first comments "stupid big hole/space" will be coming, but nothing i can do about that sorry.

Re: BOX FRESH: A ZERO MILE HONDA CB750 CAFE RACER
That's been done umpteen times before, with the big gap thing, the CB seems to be a particular victim of it, a quick google shows other equally horrible versions...
If pressed then I think this is possibly the least offensive version, he mono'd it and put a mesh screen in...

Re: BOX FRESH: A ZERO MILE HONDA CB750 CAFE RACER
Surely though if you filled that gap with a decent panel and using that satin grey, then we'd be talking 'absolutely stunning' ?

No one wanted the CB Seven Fifty back in the 90's when they were new and in the early 00's you couldn't give a 2nd hand one away.

Re: BOX FRESH: A ZERO MILE HONDA CB750 CAFE RACER
You could say that about many bikes, but this isn't a CB750, this is a custom/cafe racer, so what it 'was' has little to do with what it is now ?KungFooBob wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 8:41 am No one wanted the CB Seven Fifty back in the 90's when they were new and in the early 00's you couldn't give a 2nd hand one away.

Re: BOX FRESH: A ZERO MILE HONDA CB750 CAFE RACER
The bike is okay, nice even, but for me if I was going to update one, I'd still want a good nod to the 750Four origin. I much prefer something like this,

I dunno about absolutely stunning, but if they ditched the pod filters and put some mesh/panel in the gap then I'd be inclined to agree it's not bad.

I don't think you need a battery if you've no intention of riding it.

Yep, that's what it is, a big Superdream, but I like the looks of Superdreams, shame the 250 is such a slug, it was a big seller though, Honda sold loads more Superdreams than Yamaha sold RDs.

Re: BOX FRESH: A ZERO MILE HONDA CB750 CAFE RACER
I'm not 100% certain but I think the best selling bike of 1980 was the 250 Superslug

Re: BOX FRESH: A ZERO MILE HONDA CB750 CAFE RACER
It's very well executed and finished, but why do all these cafe racer clones have such a ridiculouly long wheelbase? It's obvious that they're not really made to be ridden, as the damn thing would handle like a supertanker. You could take 3 or 4 inches out of the wheelbase on that easy, and improve the steering no end.
But yeah, it's pretty tidy.
