Default Cafe racers?

Anyone have one? They intrigue me and look fun to cruise around on.

I've been looking around at 70's honda cb400's and would really like to get more info on them.


or am i just gay?

I been looking at them recently too. I think they look badass when lowered with some modern inverted forks on them.

yea those are nice but i don't have 8k or credit for a loan. i think it would be fun to get an older beat up one and make a project out of it.

i found a 78 honda cb400 on cl for 400obo but it didnt have a title.
