https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CX500-Step-Frame-Street-Fighter-Cafe-Racer-Custom-Build-1981-Mono-Shock/265006030115?hash=item3db3971d23:g:7LYAAOSw0YBf-CR9
£6,750. What on earth...
For that kind of money, I would want the option of removing mudguards and mirrors, not having to buy them to pass a MOT test (correct me on that point).
Bad wiring, terribly exposed battery box and reg-rec underneath the bike, typically poor throttle and brake cable routing, invisible (I assume) indicators, and is that headlight even legal? The rear brake pedal appears to be resting against the underside of the exhaust... Holes in the twist-grip end - really? Missing frame caps for the swingarm and frame cross-tubing. Non-branded "Ohlins" rear suspension... And please tell me how much Akrapovic there is, really.
The thing which really gets my goat is that the seller says: "... standard CX500's are becoming thin on the ground now and fetching big money, this one already done will save you £000's, |

Jeez who ever did that wants tracking down and giving a good shoe-ing. It has no redeeming feature whatsoever. and what the hell is going on wiit athe 'monoshock'.
It's practically vertical but there's no linkage - looks lethal. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

Ha ha. I don't actually mind that too much, but the aluminium chequer plate rear shroud needs to go, and for an authentic experience the saddle should be mounted directly off the back of the swinging-arm, on a springy steel mounting bracket. |

I'm just wondering on what level this constitutes a cafe racer ?
* The weedy 16 HP motor
* the stubby mudguard
* the illegal numberplate or, more probably
* the dashing red seat piping and highlights

If this work was completed by anyone over the age of 17 then they need to be imprisoned.

PS I wonder how it 'runs and rides ok' without the chain running on the front sprocket.. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

At first glance it doesn't look too bad... in a darkened room after I'd mislaid my glasses!
The only question is whether (if it was <£500) there's enough of a bike to salvage Given it'll be officially "vintage" in a year or so it might have some value.
Bearing in mind it's meant to look something like this:

I'd be mentally pricing up seat, exhaust, rear mudguard, indicators, mirrors, probably re-spoking the wheels, etc. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
