Really Nice Work! I’d be tempted to build one if I could find a donor.

What a beauty!!! Does anyone know more about this bike/builder etc…..I just found a donor and need some info—thanks
Hi Lisa. I did some hunting and the original owner is from the Netherlands. He posted some info about his bike at the Clasic Bikes forum. here is a link to the thread:http://classicbikes.actieforum.com/show-us-your-project-f1/zero-cafe-racer-tribute-to-zero-engineering-build-in-haaksbergen-the-netherlands-t108.htmHope this helps.
Also check here. There is some owner contact info.http://www.caferacer.ca/cafegallery/displayimage.php?album=6&pos=17
Lisa(anyone), I found my donor -where do we go from here? I’d like to share with anyone starting this project. I’m in N.J. and email is bruceyoung5@aol.com —Thanks
I made one like this around ’82! Near as finished (but not quite as nice), and it drove great. It really worked. Thanks, seeing this makes me less embarrassed about ever having an XV750 among the following:

1981 Yamaha XV 750 (cafe’d)
1977 Yamaha RD400
1980 Ducati 900 SSD

1969 Triumph TR6R 650 Trophy
1973 Kawasaki F7 175

That is one seriously hot bike. Who’d have thought it was a Virago?!
What’s a “sprotbike”?
wow… my Virago looks like crap now. I see i have some work to do!
Nice one …I know 😉
“Anonymous said…

‘sprotbike’ is the dumbed down term for a “sprotbile”
Wow, never tought a Virago could look not embarassing.
I was in the junkyard sizing one of these up yesterday… this would not be a tough build. Loads of potential.
