I'm just finishing a 1975 CB550 Cafe Racer project, I love this little bike. Very well made, very well designed, doesn't weigh a damn thing, I can pick up the back about 1 foot with one arm. The weather has been garbage so I haven't ridden it on the street yet but I can't wait. Highly recommended bike.
oh I know, they're incredibly light, from the looks of things quite simple, and just the way I love a bike to be. I helped the guy that has the one I'm getting load it into the back of a truck by hand.
glad I'm making a solid choice on a standard to get into. cant beat Honda reliability in these old school toys.
yup interesting rides. i rode one, where someone had put two yoshi pipes ( gsxr style) onto one a cb750 ugly as all hell but ran like a raped ape :cookoo: :icon_twisted:
Cor, I wish I had a quid or a buck or whatever currency unit you trade in for every time this question has been asked, but I'll answer it anyway. :thumb:
In my first life as a biker several Italian scooters all called "Azurri" then when I was born-again as a biker afer a thirty plus year absence I had the wild blue Honda followed by my 03 GS500 which was Suzi-Blue, now i have the 07 bandit 650 which is Suzi-Blue two, or is it Suzi-Blue too.
The Italian and English speakers will have deduced all my bikes have been blue, by far the most superior colour. :bowdown:
I call my GS the "HMS Economic".

Cal, :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :icon_mrgreen:
Mine is blue too ('01 Candy Grand) it was love at first sight :icon_mrgreen:
BTW, my GS is the "Moto-PickUp-Truck". Small, rattly engine, reliable (so far), strong, cheap, and multi-purpose.
What else could it be? :icon_mrgreen:
Just simply...Suicidal Suzy. Everyone knows bikes ARE females.
yup you gotta touvh em JUST the right way or else you aint gettin nothin :nono: :laugh:
OK, it's official, I like my bike more than women. No mood swings, no whining, none of that BS and she puts out on command :icon_mrgreen: :thumb:
^^^^^^
Oh Terry, such wise words. :bowdown: :icon_mrgreen: :thumb:

But you have to lube your bike... A woman on the other hand.... :icon_mrgreen:
Wheeeeeee!!!! to the TF we go!!!
Mine is stitch because it is made of many other bikes
It just did NOT want to tell me for months!
The Stumpjumper was easy, it's pearl yellow and Prussian blue, and it's stung me a few times, so its Hornet. I named my old F-150 Tex because he was originally sold in Texas and looked like a cowboy truck. Then I finally looked at the VIN and it was 1FTEX---! :o
The GS is now ZEN, because she is teaching me the art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and I'm a Buddhist. And I read the book 20 years ago, it's a good 'un.
My Babys callled Shoei ,
Shes a lil Jap Girl :thumb:
little blue, same name we give to all my vehicles ie little red for red car, little blue for blue accord... Dads vette is big red!
Yeah, I like going by colors too, it's a common cowboy way to name horses. We've had so many "Blue"s that it was just too confusing of an option, and both current motos are blue, and the blue Specialized Enduro is named "Blue". We did "Big Blue" too on a van. We had a moto named Red, an XL350. The current white minivan is named "Bruce" after the mechanical great white shark in Jaws, because it had weird gremlins and the van does too, and it's sleek and sharky looking. It "waves" it's wipers at us all by itself, usually before a road trip, and dings it's low fuel chime when it's full. We just holler in unison "Hi Bruce!". :icon_mrgreen: :cookoo:
