Word has it that this is the “Brass Cafe” that Dime City Cycles did for season 1 of Cafe Racer

I didn’t get a picture of the info plaque so this comes from a friend. They had a booth at the RIH show and I’ll have more of their excellent bikes up shortly.

Honda Dominator.

Oh my..

Another Trick Scrambler Build! Maybe the coolest CM250 Honda on the planet!

Talk about getting the most out of a transformation! Gregory Moore sends in more proof that you don’t need tens of thousands of dollars to build a cool custom bike.

Here is a 1982 Honda CM250c (the predecessor to the Rebel). I bought this for my lady to rip around but we live in the woods of southern NH where there’s lots of dirt roads & torn up tarmac so I wanted it to be a little scrambler not a saggy cruiser(not meant to be of offense to rebel owners). This is what I came up with, hope you like it!

Thanks,

Oh yeah… this is what he started with..

Hi,

I just ran across your blog from a link on the L-Twin site. I was checking out the Honda XR1157R Evo, and I saw your link and took a look. Very nice bikes. I don’t know what it is about 2 strokes that get the blood pumping…I just love them. I am the proud owner of a 1987 Honda NS400R. Now it’s not the fastest, but it handles great, and no one around where I live has one. I attached some pictures.

I have done some minor mods on it and have a list of more I want to do. So when I get some more done I’ll send if you’re interested.

Serious CBX

Thanks to Denny Turnbull

Thought I would share, I just brought my CBX out of Storage after 20 Yrs.
I noticed I forgot to put my sidecovers on.

Wow! 20 years. Get that baby out of storage and back on the road! Sweet ride!

UPDATE: A Nice SOHC Honda Cafe Rider.

I built this myself in my garage. Took sometime but I’m very pleased with the out come of my first build. If so I can send high res pictures.
Thanks
