Fun looking Yamaha SR500 Cafe Thumper.

I love builds like this. Really fun and easy (enough) to build. And they always seem to grab ther fair share of attention

Tough little Honda CB450 Cafe.

I love the early model Honda Cafe’s. They just seem to really hit all the right notes and this one is a tough looking little rider which I especially appreciate. Show bikes have their place of course but I like the “patina” of a road grime just fine.

Another Moto Guzzi Cafe.

Sorry, I know I post a lot of Guzzis but to me they’re so darn easy to look at. I really should just buy one or something.

A Beautiful Custom Street Tracker Style Vincent behind a White Pickett Fence

I just love this tracker style on a Vincent. Really well executed. I found this bike anonymously posted on The Adventure Rider site. If anyone has any specific info on the builder it’d be much appreciated.

 
 

Honda Supercub C90ST.

Joe from Mexico sends in some pictures of this new Honda  C90ST.  At a quick glance, I thought it was a restoration of an early model.  then Joe mentioned the history of the bike.  I didn’t realize that these were being built by Honda in North America!  In my beach community this bike would be fantastic! Why the heck can’t I get one of these at my local Honda dealer here in the US?  No offense to the Vespa “style” scooters but I’d rather have something along these lines for where I live.

Joe Writes:
Hello,
great website! Here’s my 2008 Honda Super Cub C90ST, I bought it new in April, 2008. Built in Kumamoto Japan, assembled from CKD in Guadalajara, México. I learned to ride on it, but rarely ride it anymore, I ride a 2008 Honda NX4 Falcon (400cc version of NX650 Dominator, built in Brazil) now.
-Joe.
 

Thanks Joe!  And if you have pictures of that NX4 Falcon I’d love to see them!

 


Update: 1977 Laverda Jota

I’m a recent recent convert to Laverda (and several other brands actually) and I’m a looooong way from getting the models sorted out. In that spirit I welcome any corrections to what are often my best guesses.

So from the comments: Lovely Bike, Jota it is not however, more like a late’ish 3C, I’d say 1975. ALL Jota’s had cast wheels, and dual seat with duckbills at rear…
