Copied them right down to the motor, it's always interesting to see them out there. One day, I'll have a Yamaha XS650...one of the best Trump knock-offs. They look really wicked all cafe'd up.

I almost bought a '71 CB400a for shits and grins. Sure, a 400 automatic bike isn't going to move out but it would be fun to putt around.

BBQ's bike is a bit ahead of the Cafe Racer's time, but no doubt a wonderfully modded CBX... I wants to ride that biotch!!!

Yeah, they aren't really pretty. Allegedly they handle well but whatever. Go Brit or go home.
